Worship & Leaders
Maryanne J. George
Worship
Maryanne Joshua George is a Grammy Award-winning, multi-faceted Christian artist who makes her home in her native New York City. She writes ...
"...you might know me from Maverick City Music. We’ve written songs together, recorded a few albums, did a little touring, and won some awards. In October 2021, I recorded and released my debut EP, Not Just Stories. It was a grounding album, centered on the tenets of worship: surrender, devotion and sacrifice. It was a culmination of my spiritual journey with Jesus. It charted nationally. These were dreams I didn’t know were possible for a brown girl like me. But God made them happen.
I’m grateful you’re here. I hope you’ve been able to witness Jesus throughout my journey. My prayer is that my life would be an altar, and my songs, a sacrifice. He’s been good to me."
Stewart Sonneland
Leader
Author of The Way Home, Stewart Sonneland served for over 40 years in Young Life as both a volunteer and staff member. During that time, Stewart has spoken to, and walked alongside, thousands of young people. In that endeavor, he's worked to help them navigate the difficult waters between adolescence and adulthood, helping them find and grow in a personal relationship with Jesus.
Three years ago, Stewart launched, and now helps lead, a ministry for 18-25 year-olds called The Well in Spokane, Washington. "It's been amazing to see how the Holy Spirit has transformed hearts and lives at The Well. We're incredibly grateful for what God has done and is doing."
Stewart and his wife, Patty (married 43 years! :-), love to travel, especially if that means spending time with their children and grandchildren.
