Summary
Courtney Smallbone's family has followed Jesus for generations. But as a teenager, Courtney was unconvinced. Then a pivotal experience changed her from skeptic to whole-hearted believer. She saw God doing the impossible, and that marked her for life. It changed her expectations and prepared her for a day when she would need to believe for something that seemed impossible. Courtney and her husband Luke, who is half of the duo For King and Country, have four children and live in Columbia, Tennessee.
