After wowing the crowds during several performances at the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis, she will open the 2024 Charlotte Eucharistic Congress on Friday, Aug. 30.

With parents involved in worship ministry, Kroger’s love for music was sparked at a young age, but the impact of bullying – coupled with her struggle with anxiety and shyness – hid her musical talents for years. Everything changed when she met Jesus in an intimate encounter through worship at a youth conference.
“Worship became my language with God,” she explains. “It allowed me to communicate with the Lord in a way I hadn’t experienced before…it opened my heart.”
Realizing music was a gift she desired to give back to God, she began leading worship around the world, drawing people from a variety of cultures and faith backgrounds under the banner of Jesus. With a passion for creating a safe and prayerful space through her music, her focus has always been an authentic portrayal of her relationship with God.
With “A New Reality,” it is her hope that people will come away knowing that it’s OK to question, to pull on the string and enable the unraveling to happen, knowing there is One who is gently mending the tangled threads back together into a beautiful, reconstructed tapestry.
Woven with contemplative songs that expose honest vulnerability along with corporate worship songs that express the magnificence of God, the entire collection offers new ways to see suffering, questions and silence as building blocks for a new faith – one that is stronger because of the struggle.
Sarah Kroger brings listeners into that newness by helping us all ponder the mystery of God, rest in the wonder, and see that questions are a sacred path to a new reality.
