I wish you could've been at my most recent birthday party, tripping back through time, my life in pictures on the screen. That blonde little tom-girl looking out at the camera, so unsure of herself. That young woman in love with the man of her dreams, holding tight to his arm, happiness oozing out every pore of her body. The tears that fell, seeing all those pictures of my strong, unforgettable Trent, who now lives in heaven. The young widow on stage in front of thousands, learning to breathe, beginning to dance again. The world-travels of a goofball, laughing her way across the world, mugging for the camera on planes and trains, drenched in the ocean, standing on top of mountains.
The seasons of my life flashed before my eyes?the joy, the pain, the mourning, the morning?I wish you could've seen it. Because if you could, you'd see how far I've come. You'd see how strong I've become. You'd know it's only by God's grace and power that I stand here. That I do anything at all.
But even before this birthday milestone, I knew I was ready to go there. I knew I was strong enough to lay it all out on the table for the world to hear, to express myself artistically in a whole new way, and to spill open my heart like never before.
Produced by Bernie Herms, Doug Beiden, Stephen Marshall and Brian Steckler, Stronger is nothing short of my testimony. It's my story. It's both a peek into my personal journal, as well as a response to what women and girls all over the world have shared with me. Women who are in seemingly impossible situations?adultery, divorce, abuse, trying to start over, trying to conceive, trying to hold on to faith when God seems silent. Stronger is my way of speaking life, saying, 'Hold on to the truth that God will see you through this circumstance. Embrace all the possibilities of tomorrow, today. I've lived through the darkest of hours. I know what the other side looks like. And you can take me at my word. It's not perfect, but it can still be glorious.
Tammy (Grand Rapids, Michigan native, self taught drummer and high school Basketball Star who still holds records to this day - you go girl!) signed her first major CCM record deal in 1995 working with amazing producers; Fred Hammond, Bernie Herms, Doug Beiden, Tim Miner, Tedd T, Mark Hammond, Todd Collins and others through the years. She has followed that calling on her life with great passion ever since. With the national release of 4 CD's that have garnered three number 1 hits ("My Irreplaceable" "Your love is 4 Always" & "It's all about You") and a handful of top ten hits, including her signature songs "Welcome Home" & "Run to the Cross", Tammy continues to sing her way through to the hearts of thousands.
Her life is real. Her music is real. Her words are real and her God is real. You see it in everything she does. Why? How? Because she knows what it's like to have the wind knocked out of you and yet to feel the very breath of God bringing you back to life again. An evening spent with Tammy is like one big living room, just hanging out with your friends. That is her gift to the world. Letting you in, making you feel comfortable and then sharing her God, her faith and her hope in one of the most authentic, tender and humorous ways. Tammy has remained single to this day by choice. Infact, she has chosen not to date at all. She says she has been a woman who knew love deeply and at this time in her life, because of that deep love, she doesn't feel a void in that area of her life. Tammy has spent the last 4 years on the platform allowing others to see how the Lord is putting her life back together again. You might say, she has now married adventure and is sooo complete.
You'll find Singer/Songwriter/Author and Speaker Tammy Trent, with a full touring schedule as she had been heavily involved with the Women of Faith conferences across the country and their teen ministry REVOLVE for the past two years and was featured on the Focus On The Family program with Dr. Dobson. June 2005 also marked the National release of her second book, "Beyond The Sorrow", published by J Countryman, which follows in the footsteps of her best-selling book "Learning to Breathe Again" by W Publishing. You can purchase any of Tammy's books or music at a Christian Bookstore near you or by going to her website today.
I cannot believe it's October already. It actually doesn't feel like it at all here in Nashville. I played out in the yard all week end. Pruning trees, fertilizing grass, watering shrubs, cutting back vines, feeding the birds and even raking up s...

This is something I sooo take for granted and quite honestly forget often about and wonder if you might, too. What a privilege it is to be called an ambassador of Christ! What a tremendous privilege of representing Jesus on this earth. But I wond...

Hi Tammy!
Just saying 'hi' from Our Savior Lutheran in Arcadia, CA where you did the Mother/Daughter/Friends luncheon. Folks are still talking about it.
I would love to have you open an incredible youth program on Feb. 7th,2009 ... any chance you are on the West Coast?
Tammy, "You Have My Heart" was a staple for me back in college. I'll have to find those old songs for my little girl to listen to. :)
I saw on Facebook that you are also friends with Patricia (Ivey). I am looking forward to reading your book soon. I saw it at the bookstore not long ago.
Hey TT,
Have a fun trip but most importantly have a very spiritual filled trip where many lives are touched and maybe someone will touch you where needed. Blessing girl!!!!!
I saw you online and decided to visit your beautiful page to say that you are relly special to me and that you are in my prayers. I loved all of your videos. Did you find the fly? lololo That was cute and so real. Also the song Pray was amazing! You are so full of energy. I am in real life like that too but you are amazing! I wish so much that I could meet you in person and spend one day with you. You are a blessing to me. Be blessed! Please, would you keep in touch somehow?
Sincerely: yout friend in Jesus forever, Raquel.
hugs...xoxo
Hey Tammy! I just wanted to tell you that you was just a blessing. I was at the WOW Woman's Conference in Spartanburg on Oct.25. I love your story that touced me. You have showed me to let God have control and he will never let you down. I just wish that you can do a concert in Greenville, SC. May God bless you.
I hope you and Anita have a fun and very spiritual filled trip. I pray God moves wonders through you. I know He will!!!!
I asked Anita to send a box to me so I could ship myself to Singapore...but no box...I even told her I had my own bubble wrap for protection...I figure she's waiting on the Austrailia trip instead. LOL
Many sweet blessings to you!!!
