Trent's fifth studio album to date, Stronger, released last year. Produced by Dove Award-winner Bernie Herms, as well as Doug Bieden, Stephen Marshall and Brian Steckler, the album is a celebration of Trent's hope and trust in Christ and an acknowledgment of His sovereignty through seasons of sorrow and joy. Her latest single, "You've Already Shown Me", is currently impacting Christian AC radio, while "I'm Letting Go" has been serviced to Inspirational formats.
Since 1995, Trent has been a familiar voice on Christian radio with a string of hits, including "My Irreplaceable" and "Welcome Home." She stepped away from the spotlight in 2001 after the tragic death of her husband in a diving accident, returning as a featured speaker and performer at Women of Faith conferences in 2003.
Trent spent four years with Women of Faith and has also been a featured speaker and performer on the organization's Revolve Tour for teen girls. She is the author of Learning To Breathe Again: Choosing Life and Finding Hope After A Shattering Loss (W Publishing), and Beyond The Sorrow: There's Hope in the Promises of God (J. Countryman).
