Leah Carolan is a worship pastor, wife, mom of four kids and songwriter.  While she had originally planned to be an opera singer, but God got ahold of her heart in college and redirected her steps into church music for the last 20 years.  While she still writes silly love songs for her husband and lots of serious choral music, her greatest passion is putting God's Word to music so that believers of all ages can hide His Word in their hearts.  She loves coffee, lifting heavy weights, and an occasional half marathon.

You can find those songs about God's word here on her YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@MemorizeScripture
