it was the atmosphere. Her father, a professional singer and choir leader, and her mother filled the house with prayer and praise. It was there that Rae began her personal walk with Jesus, laying the foundation for everything she would become.<\/p>\r\n    <\/li>\r\n    <li>\r\n      <h2>The voice awakens<\/h2>\r\n      <p>From a young age, Rae was leading worship in the sanctuary, her voice strong and unmistakable. Along with it came a desire to take gospel music beyond the choir stand and into the world.<\/p>\r\n    <\/li>\r\n    <li>\r\n      <h2>The revelation of \u201cDWELL\u201d<\/h2>\r\n      <p>For Rae, every melody is an invitation, and her creativity flows from intimacy with the Father.<\/p>\r\n      <blockquote class=\"dwell-quote\">Some songs are written. Some are composed. But \u201cDWELL\u201d was received during a moment of deep fellowship with God.<\/blockquote>\r\n    <\/li>\r\n    <li>\r\n      <h2>Beyond performance: a ministry of presence<\/h2>\r\n      <p>Rae\u2019s dream is not fame and it is not applause. Her heart is to help young people discover their purpose and to show them that life with Christ is full. Through every season, joyful or difficult, her music points people to Jesus.<\/p>\r\n    <\/li>\r\n  <\/ol>\r\n\r\n  <footer class=\"dwell-closing\">\r\n    <p>This is only the beginning.
