101 | Krissy Nordhoff

Krissy Nordhoff is a professional songwriter, co-founder of the Brave songwriting community, author, and creator of The Writing Worship Course. Realizing that her dreams were shifting away from travel and performing, Krissy began to focus on songwriting. Along the way, she garnered three Dove Award nominations for her efforts and won a Dove Award for Worship Song of the Year for the beloved anthem “Your Great Name,” inspired by her own health battle and God’s healing. Her songs have been recorded by a variety of artists including Natalie Grant, Jenn Johnson (Bethel Music), Tauren Wells, Mandisa, Darlene Zschech, David and Nicole Binion, Travis Cottrell, Prestonwood Worship, Corey Voss, Dustin Smith, Phillips, Craig & Dean and many others.

Passionate about training and encouraging the next generation of worship songwriters, Krissy now mentors, teaches and creates resources, including informative podcasts and a “Songwriter Personality Test.” She has also penned a new book, Writing Worship: How To Craft Heartfelt Songs for the Church (David C Cook) that offers spiritual and practical insights for aspiring songwriters and worship teams that want to write original songs for their congregations.
