Staci’s Unpathed Waters, Undreamed Shores and Flourish are available on Amazon.com
Staci’s latest CD, Unpathed Waters, Undreamed Shores is a collection of songs about navigating the messy, unpredictable waters of change. Her most vulnerable and honest songwriting to date, the album reflects a season of big life changes including deep personal losses and the ever-shifting roles of career and parenting.
Held together loosely by the imagery of moving waters, the songs as a whole convey both an unflinching honesty about the inevitability of suffering and a hopeful optimism about the transformation it brings.
Staci’s creativity and passion for encouraging others led her to write Flourish, a conversational, inspiring collection of stories and insights about how to cultivate a life in which our unique gifts find their full expression. Staci shares her journey of discovering her God-designed purpose, and also that of people across the creative spectrum—from homemakers to professional artists—who use their talents in generous and life-giving ways.
Intricate, authentic and hopeful, Staci Frenes continues to cultivate truth that resonates in every aspect of life…through music, speaking and writing… she is confident that the process can be as beautiful as the finish.
