Kari Jobe was born in 1981, in Waco, Texas,[1] to parents Mark and Caroline "Sandy" (née Bragg) Jobe. She was raised in Watauga and Hurst, Texas, both suburbs of Fort Worth. She has two siblings, Kristen and Caleb. Jobe began singing at the age of three[2] and became a Christian at the age of five. She attended Oral Roberts University, Christ for the Nations Institute and Dallas Baptist University and obtained her degree in pastoral studies and psychology.[3]

She became known with the successes "Revelation Song" and "Holy Spirit" released in 2009.[4]

After graduation, Jobe accepted an invitation to serve as associate worship pastor at Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, which she had been attending for six years. She worked alongside her father, Mark, who serves as campus pastor of Gateway's flagship campus in Southlake.[5] She has traveled internationally on mission trips to lead worship.[6] Jobe was also a member of Gateway Worship, a Christian worship band associated with Gateway Church. The group's live album, Wake Up the World, debuted at No. 2 on Billboard's Christian Albums chart in 2008.

In addition to acting as a worship leader and pastor, Jobe released her first major-label album in February 2009 on the Integrity Music/Columbia Records/Gateway Create label.

A Spanish-language version of the album was released under the name Le Canto.

Personal life

In August 2014, Jobe confirmed via Instagram that she became engaged to fellow Gateway Worship artist Cody Carnes.[29] The two married on November 21, 2014.[30]

In December 2019, the couple visited the White House and prayed for President Donald Trump. They also appeared in a video praising the Trump administration.[34] In response to criticism about the visit, the pair said, "We didn't know that we were going to take a picture in the Oval Office or know they were going to post it. I didn't know they were going to use a video interview that we did talking about how amazing it was to be in a White House leading worship."[35]
