Kari Jobe is a Christian worship artist known for songs including The Blessing (with Cody Carnes and Elevation Worship), Heal Our Land, Forever, and I Am Not Alone. She is married to Cody Carnes (also a worship artist) and is one of the most respected voices in contemporary Christian worship.
Kari Jobe began her worship ministry at Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, and has maintained a consistent commitment to Christ-centered worship throughout her career. Her songs engage biblical themes — the character of God, the power of His presence, healing, and the proclamation of His name — with unusual depth and authenticity.
The Blessing — written by Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes, and Elevation Worship's Chris Brown and Steven Furtick, and recorded with Cody Carnes and Elevation Worship — became one of the most significant worship moments of the COVID-19 pandemic. The song is a direct proclamation of Aaron's blessing from Numbers 6:24-26, set to music. Its widespread adoption by churches globally during crisis reflects the genuine spiritual resonance of its content.
Kari Jobe's collaboration with Elevation Worship (see our Elevation Worship guide) and her Gateway Church background are worth noting. Gateway is a large charismatic church and Elevation Worship brings Steven Furtick's theological concerns. These collaborations don't disqualify Kari Jobe's music but are worth awareness. Her solo catalog is theologically sound. See the full Kari Jobe website.
Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes model a Christian marriage built around shared ministry. Their public conduct and personal statements consistently reflect genuine faith rather than performative Christianity. They are among the most recommended worship artists for Christian families.
