Singer, songwriter, and worship leader Jaime Jamgochian knows what it means to wait, and to keep holding on when the future feels uncertain. After rising to the top of Christian radio with “Hear My Worship,” Jaime’s journey took unexpected turns: chronic illness, career setbacks, and a season of deep doubt. At one point, she found herself in her 40s, back in her childhood home, too sick to get out of bed, crying out to God: “Why is this happening?” But even in the darkest moments, she sensed God’s presence drawing near. In this episode of The Unfolding, Jaime shares how surrender, persistence, and the kindness of God have shaped her story, and how it all led to a new beginning with her album Sacred Surrender. Whether you’re waiting on healing, clarity, or hope, Jaime’s story will remind you God is still writing your story.

That moment would become the foundation of her faith when she later faced a situation that looked impossible. Courtney is married to Luke, one half of the Grammy-winning duo For King & Country.

Caleb, Jordan, and Josh Ward, the brothers who make up Consumed By Fire, first played music together in 2006. They hit the road with a heart to serve and tell people about the hope of Jesus through music. For years they played and traveled, mostly for small crowds and small pay. They were living and working by faith- A way of life they had watched their parents model in a powerful way. But it’s tough to live a life of ministry on the road. They were burning out. Despite a clear call from God, after 13 years of hard work, they decided to quit. That’s when God gave them a song called “First Things First,” that changed everything.
