She is all heart, loyal to the core, a friend you can count on, a fiercely proud mom and devoted wife, a Godly example to those around her, and a sold-out-on-fire-110%-follower of her Lord and Savior. And if that isn’t enough, the girl can write a great song!” – Dale Mathews, Senior Vice President, Word Music & Church Resources

“As a Worship Pastor, there is a burden of responsibility that I carry daily to encourage, challenge, and take people deeper in their worship. It is more than a song or a moment in a service that has life changing impact. Instead, it’s messages that are authentic and relative that are shared from the heart, that meet people where they are, and help them take the next steps toward the person God has created them to be. I have found all of these attributes in my friend, Kenna Turner West. She is not a stage performer who presents her catalog of material to fill a morning slot for local churches. Instead, she is a worshiper who genuinely lowers her life’s veil, allowing the world to see the full picture of all God has done and is doing in her life. She connects in a unique way that makes every person in a crowd feel like they’re the only person in the room. She is the type of ministry partner that I trust to represent me, my people, and our God in such a way that can only be described as, Kenna.” – Jeff Bumgardner, Worship Pastor, First Baptist Church, North Augusta, GA

“If someone were to ask me to describe Kenna Turner West, I’d have to say she’s the zaniest sister I never had. Her fun-loving personality quickly dominates the room—and that’s said as a compliment. Behind her always-present smile and quick wit, however, is a level of understanding that most people never achieve. Rooted deeply in Bible beliefs, Kenna is an observer of life and how each of the day’s moments can give birth to a new song. She relishes the little nuisances; she can grasp the big picture. And, at the end of the day, she can wrap all of that together so that the world can rejoice with her. That, my friend, is a gift that God chose to send Kenna’s way. And one for which she is most thankful. Prepare to be amazed at what Kenna does with what God has given her. Because you will be.” – Danny Jones, Editor-in-Chief, Singing News Magazine
