Amanda Cook shares openly about the riskiness of hope, how grief is proof of love, how it’s human to feel disappointment, and how God shows up for us when we are at the end of ourselves. She also shares how music was a personal way to self-regulate and meet with God and the difficulty of such a private practice becoming a stage-oriented career.
Amanda Cook is a Canadian writer and musician based in LA. She is best known for writing worship songs such as “You Make Me Brave” and “Extravagant.” Her recent solo albums, House on a Hill and State of Union, explore themes of grief, doubt and faith, while her 2023 EP, Survey: Part 1, delves into her journey of discovering what remains when everything is stripped away.
