November 2023 - Interview with NEwreleaseToday for Restoration album release

Stories of resilience and faith often take center stage in music and worship, and Cristabelle Braden’s journey is no exception. Hailing from Allentown, Pennsylvania, this singer-songwriter and worship leader has risen from the depths of a traumatic brain injury to inspire us with her unyielding spirit. In a remarkable tale of determination and grace, she has defied medical expectations and attained a master's degree in theological studies. 
Today, she stands as a testament to God's unwavering faithfulness. While her life took a different path than initially envisioned, Cristabelle now finds herself on staff at a local church, leading the worship team and pursuing music ministry opportunities wherever her faith leads her. 
This exclusive interview delves into her incredible journey, marked by challenges, triumphs, and an unwavering trust in the Good Shepherd's guidance.

Album Review on NewReleaseToday.com

"The lyrics in the seven songs on Hope Survives are powerful enough on their own, but coupled with Cristabelle's inspirational story of surviving a tragedy and coming out the other side stronger, they become powerful anthems of faith and hope for anyone walking through a difficult situation. Cristabelle's passion to encourage others with her life shines through in every track as her voice beautifully carries melodies that will get stuck in your head while reminding you of Scriptural truth. A musical journey that has the potential to impact many hearts, Hope Survives is an album filled with the promise of redemption." CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL REVIEW
