At a time when many Christian Music Artists are pulled away from ministry and pushed toward “industry” obligations, Jilleen has maintained focus on her life’s mission; to be a conduit through her words and songs bringing the message of God’s love to a hurting world. Jilleen’s ministry is best exemplified through her life verse Mark 12:30 - “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.”
Whether performing before a crowd of hundreds (The Crystal Cathedral, Saddleback Church, Union Church, The American Cancer Society) or in a small country church, Jilleen’s message of hope and healing is both positive and inspirational. She is considered to be one of the major defining voices in Christian Music today. “Jilleen’s music touches the hearts of many. She was a very important part of our music ministry here at Saddleback Church. I admire her servant heart and ambition to serve God in full time music ministry,” says Rick Muchow, Magnification Pastor, Saddleback Church, Lake Forest, CA.
“People can relate to the pertinent message in my music. Sometimes we have good days. Sometimes we have bad days. It all depends upon the day! My goal is to enable the listener to experience God in their everyday circumstances, especially in the small stuff.”
Jilleen’s latest groundbreaking release The Hymns Experience is a new look at the traditional hymns of the faith. With a fresh respectful approach, Jilleen weaves a tapestry of history and faith together bringing the listener to a point of reflection. She breathes new life into the age old classics like “This Is My Father’s World” and “Fairest Lord Jesus” and other familiar songs. The classic lyrics, rearranged into a modern day musical setting, blend the old and the new into something truly unique and ear catching.
“I was actually inspired to do this hymns project after listening to a favorite CD of mine called Hymns From The Ryman by Gary Chapman. Every time I listen to this album it draws me closer to the heart of God and enriches my spiritual relationship with Him. I wanted to do the same for my listeners. To inspire them with new renditions of their all time favori
