Hope Darst is a worship leader who desires to see people encounter the love of Jesus and be restored and set free in His presence. Her desire to write songs that capture real life experiences while remaining anchored in God’s word and about the real journey of faith – the struggles, victories, mountaintops and valleys, has led her to pen songs like Peace Be Still, Promise Keeper, If the Lord Builds the House, and more. Hope tackles the reality that when we try to build a name for ourselves, it usually ends up falling apart, but when we choose to allow God to build our lives, nothing can tear it down.
Hope lives in Nashville, TN with her husband, David, and their two daughters, where she serves as a worship leader at The Belonging Company Church. Whether it’s crafting songs for artful expression or corporate praise, Hope’s goal is the same – to worship God in everything
