With only their luggage, a love for music, and unbreakable faith, they set out to rebuild their lives.
In the rebuilding Rebecca lands a record deal at 16, paving the way for her brothers, Joel and Luke, to later form For King & Country.

Rebecca St James
Among the most defining artists in Christian music history, GRAMMY®-winning singer/songwriter, best-selling author, speaker, and actress Rebecca St. James rocketed into the global spotlight following the release of her self-titled Forefront Records debut in 1994. The Australian native's modern pop sensibilities and uncompromising lyrics set a benchmark in Christian music, leading a new generation of artistry in the genre. Rebecca has earned multiple Dove Awards, nine #1 Christian radio singles and two GOLD®-certified recordings, and her discography includes such iconic albums as Pray, God, and Transform.
Following a hiatus from recording and touring—during which time she married and started a family—Rebecca returned to the stage in 2018 to perform with her brothers, multi-GRAMMY® and Dove Award-winning duo for KING + COUNTRY, and co-wrote several selections on their blockbuster 2019 recording, Burn the Ships. Rebecca is also the host of the podcast "Rebecca St James: Friends and Family.

Shawna Beyer
Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
