As a teenager, Kristin found herself struck in the midst of tragedy. Her life was turned
upside down with news that her father was diagnosed with Cancer. A short three
weeks after his diagnosis, he was taken to be with the Lord. Before he left her
however, he imparted wisdom that will forever be engraved in her heart. “No matter
what happens to me, God Is Still God.” After this tragedy, Kristin's mother went
through a period of deep dark depression. Not only was she left with the emptiness
of losing her father, she now had to deal with the after effects of her mother’s
struggles.
Attempting to cope with the devastation of her father’s death and mothers trials, she
had no other place to turn other than God. Through the wisdom of her father, and
the strength of her Heavenly Father, Kristin was able to use this tragedy to strengthen
her faith and hope in the Lord.
Through these trials, Kristin was given an amazing opportunity. She now has the
ability to use her story as a means of expression to show triumph and victory over
dark circumstances. With every great story, creates an opportunity to eloquently
express how struggles change a person’s life. Kristin Rader is a true testament of God
using the struggles of one individual to encourage others.
With life focused on music, she had one dream, to use her gifts to reach believers
and unbelievers. “I want my music to be an outlet of encouragement to everyone

median we can use to reach others.” Knowing this, she recorded her debut album
“Undeniably You.” Each song leaves you wanting to hear more, while inductively
sending a message to all listeners.

the gap between knowing oneself, and expressing oneself for God in such a way as
Kristin. With her mind geared toward people, her music effortlessly shines the light
of Christ. Each new adventure is a new opportunity for her to share her amazing
testimony with others.
“My prayer is to be a voice of encouragement that reaches beyond my music. I hope
that each individual that hears these songs will be blessed. Life is full of uncertainty,
but with God, everything that seems unclear will eventually become evident of His
