“Ask yourself, am I being safe or am I being brave? The answer depends on if you think God can be trusted.” –Gary Haugen, President, International Justice Mission Jenny Youngman is a Nashville-based singer/songwriter who is making her way on the scene with her second studio album. With themes of justice-seeking, the search for significance in the mundane, intentional living, extending grace to ourselves and others, and discovering bravery, The Girl With Good Intentions takes the listener on a journey from simply having good intentions to getting our hands in the dirt and doing something good in the world. Like the little girl blowing dandelion seeds into the wind, Jenny lets this project loose in hopes that these songs inspire people to be creative, to be intentional, to be brave, and to live life on purpose—to toss out their big and small creative works into the world, adding beauty, protesting fear, and pointing to our Creator. Three years after the release of Jenny’s first album in 2005, Glimpse of Glory, she and her husband were thrilled to discover they were expecting twins, a gift that would expand their clergy family of four to six. The family expansion meant that Jenny had to take a break from all personal pursuits. But she’s back with visible growth in both her writing and her catchy piano-pop melodies. Producer and electric guitar player extraordinaire, Andrew Osenga (The Normals, Caedmon’s Call), clearly stretched Jenny to explore sounds and ideas that broke open wide the-girl-and-her-piano sound that she says she easily defaults to. The result is a collection of ten pop songs that Jenny says she, “couldn’t be more proud of.” Jenny is an artist-partner with International Justice Mission and hopes to raise awareness and support in the fight against human trafficking. “As a mom of four little people, I simply cannot accept that there are young girls trapped in brothels and families just like mine abused in factories because they have no money or power to get out.” The Girl With Good Intentions releases on iTunes on August 1, 2013. “Somewhere along the way we learn to play it safe and we forget Jesus made us to be fearless, to live in the light of the day—to be brave.” –Jenny Youngman, To Be Brave
