Kari Jobe Won "Praise and Worship Album of the Year" Award at the 45th GMA Dove Awards

At the 45th GMA Dove Awards whicch took placed earlier in the week, Christian worship pastor and song writer Kari Jobe won for Praise and Worship Album of the Year with Majestic. Majestic is different from her first two major label studio releases being that it was recorded entirely live. The album also features all-new material with the exception of Jobe's cover of "Holy Spirit." On Majestic, Jobe wrote nearly 50 songs in the development of the project, and included co-writes with well-known worship leaders Matt Redman, Chris Tomlin, Brian & Jenn Johnson, Paul Baloche, and Reuben Morgan, just to name a few.
"When I die, if I was known for one thing, I would want to be known for [helping people] fall more in love with Jesus," Jobe said in a press release concerning her newest album, "So I don't care what song I sing, if the heart of it is that people fall more in love with Jesus and they understand the heart of God for hem."
"I've been a worship leader for over 15 years and grew up leading worship. It just made sense to do a live project and just write for the church and to do songs that are more congregational, just with people in mind that are going to be singing these songs in church," she said to BreatheCast.
