Her album “He Is” was recently named “Christian Contemporary Album of the Year” , Peoples Choice in the Independent Music Awards. Bridget says her deepest moments with God have occurred while leading others into worship. “I know what it is like to press in and enter into that Holy place of worship. Once you have been there, nothing else satisfies. I try to lead people to where I have been and when I see others experience that place, I know true freedom is coming. To be a part of that for someone else is an honor.”
