You can get a glimpse into Patti’s life by listening to Source of Strength, her latest release. It takes you on a journey through her prayer life, and unveils an intimate relationship with God, which has sustained her since childhood.

When she was learning to sing and play the piano as a child, her mother, a music teacher, would not allow her to use the words, “I can’t”. She had to at least try. That’s probably why her favorite Bible verse is the theme of her life. “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:13)

Patti has tested this truth over the past thirty-one years of ministry as a pastor’s wife and mother of three sons. She has depended on God for strength to face life’s most difficult situations and has found the presence of God to be the greatest source of inspiration for her music. While meditating on the Word of God each day, the “melodies of truth” within her heart take shape and become songs.

The inspiration for this album came as a result of a remarkable healing. She writes, “I struggled for the last ten years fighting the lure of depression. During this time, I remained active in my church, reaching out to women and children who needed encouragement. However, as a songwriter and recording artist, I was unable to write new songs or even remember the songs I had previously written. On January 1, 2004 as a direct answer to prayer, God marvelously and instantaneously restored my mind and my ability to write music. Most of the songs on this album were written in the weeks that followed.”

Movin’in Me was written in January, and expresses her testimony as well as her thankfulness to God. The song was arranged by Roger Grenier, and produced in time to be sung in Latvia at a series of women’s conferences in March. The women of Latvia opened their hearts to the work of the Holy Spirit each time she sang;

“Anoint me with oil from Your never-ending supply.

Pour it out on my head, covering my mind.

Let it run down on my face and seep into my heart

With a love that will never let me go…”

Upon returning from Latvia, she and her husband began making plans to produce a devotional album that draws on the valuable insights that sustained her during those difficult times. Roger Grenier, Leilani Montagne, Chris Glanister and Daniel Heredia all contributed to arrange her songs, matching the various moods of the human soul. Patti explains, “I wanted this album to bring encouragement by artfully arranging music and Scripture in a way that will heal the heart and calm the soul. The first words you hear are from Isaiah 30:15, where God gives Israel the secret to receive His strength: repentance, rest, quietness, and trust.”

Though it has taken months of hard work to restore her vocal ability to this point, Patti is not a newcomer to the field of music.
