Kari Jobe Talks of Healing Birthed From New Album After Family Tragedy
Jobe said her song "Speak to Me" is her favorite on the album.
"That's one my favorites, and I think I love it because sometimes we just need to sit and wait," she explained. "Because of social media and the way that our culture is now we're so quick to share everything. Sometimes I think we just need to create space again to wait on God and not be in a hurry."
She challenged people to examine whether or not they make space for God.

Now married and a mother, Jobe said she has to make space for God and her family in the midst of her busy tour schedule.
"I have learned to put my phone down and be fully present, take deep breaths and not be in a hurry," she said of spending time with her son. "I don't want to look back and regret missing anything because I was busy."
The worship leader ended the interview by talking about the importance of praise.
"We all are created to worship and we all worship something even if we're not worshiping God. The fruit of our lives will speak for what we are worshiping," she maintained. "For me personally, worship music is something that helps me pray and say things to God that I haven't been saying. Or it helps me connect to Him."
Jobe doesn't believe that worship should be put in a box and said sometimes she finds herself worshiping to songs that aren't what standard "worship music" might sound like.
"There's some Lecrae songs that I'm like, 'That's incredible. I wouldn't have thought to say that in that way.' But if it catches something that you've been needing to say to God, I think that's worship," she concluded.
Her album, The Garden, is now available and Jobe will be touring for the record on "The Garden Tour." She will also be offering worship workshops in certain cities specifically for people who feel called to lead in worship.
