Sarah Kroger is a Nashville-based Catholic worship leader and songwriter. She is a GMA Dove Award-nominated artist, songwriter, and worship leader who has released six albums, 'Your Time' (2011), 'Hallelujah is Our Song' (2013), 'Bloom' (2019), 'Light' (2020), London Sessions (2023) and her latest project, 'A New Reality' (2024). ​Sarah 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; there was something about it that opened my heart.” Realizing that music was a gift, she desired to give back to the Lord, Sarah began leading worship at her church and has since done worship concerts all around the world. 
​With 'A New Reality', it is Sarah's hope that people will come away knowing that it's okay 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.

Franchelle Jaeger is a national speaker, writer, Catholic creative, catechist and evangelist. Before changing her name to “Mama” she worked professionally as an actress on the stage.  Since her theatrical retirement, her mission has been to tell married couples, women, and young people about the Savior’s lavish, relentless love for them anywhere and anyway she can.  She is co-Founder of Bellator Catholic Media where she shares much of her published writing.  She and her husband, Matt, are Natural Family Planning teachers and have spent most of their marriage sharing the good news of the Theology of the Body and God’s design for holy and happy families.  The Jaegers have 4 sons and are currently raising them in the rolling hills of Tennessee, not too far from Nashville.  If by some unmitigated measure of grace or bloody martyrdom the cause for her canonization is ever opened, she will be a patron saint of getting stains out of many things.
