True worship results in change of your heart, of your actions, and of your mind. It is Jami's heart and desire to introduce others to experience true worship and a closer relationship to Jesus Christ.

"Worship is bigger than music, bigger than us, and when we worship together, we acknowledge our dependency, our depravity, and our need of a Savior. My idea of worship is not a concert, not entertainment, but an interaction between people and God. My hope is to encourage vulnerability before a loving God that we might plead for Him to interrupt our lives", says Jami.
