Jennifer Shaw is a skilled musician, a devoted mother and a passionate minister. She has a Master’s degree in vocal performance, a wonderful husband, three beautiful children, and a heart’s desire to share her love story with Christ with audiences everywhere. And her story is inspiring.
Some would say that Jennifer was leading a charmed life - a great family, a university professor in her twenties, living her dream of singing with the symphony and leading worship at her church. But in the last 5 years, circumstances beyond her human control led Jennifer to a spiritual crossroad. Jennifer nearly died after losing a baby, her beloved father was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease and her two-year-old son began suffering symptoms of an unexplained and terrifying neurological condition, Sensory Processing Disorder. In these times of turmoil and grief, Jennifer had to decide if her faith was a nice accent to her life, or the true basis for it. Thrust into a crisis of faith she would never have chosen, Jennifer discovered God’s faithfulness in the real darkness and pain of loss and letting go. And when she saw the miracles of healing for her son, and beauty in the midst of her father’s death, she knew her life and her faith would never be the same. Jennifer’s new single "Your Great Name" is her thankful cry to God for his faithfulness.
Jennifer has a stubborn determination to tell the world about the powerful Name of Jesus that she has called on frequently along her journey. And whether she is leading worship in a Sunday morning church service, teaching at a women’s retreat, or doing a concert for the local Christ followers in Kenya, Africa, Jennifer’s commitment is obvious and her enthusiasm is infectious. "Your Great Name" is a powerful expression of a worshiping heart that listeners will instantly be requesting over and over again!
