Marie Miller Elevates Music and Faith in New Single 'Woman'

Published December 10, 2023

Emerging from the vibrant music scene of Nashville, Marie Miller, a devout singer-songwriter, weaves her spiritual beliefs into her melodious craft. Her most recent musical venture comes in the form of a scripturally-inspired single titled 'Woman', a harmonious endeavor with fellow musicians Sarah Kroger and Sarah Hart.

'Woman' isn't just another song—it's a scriptural journey set to music, according to Miller. In an insightful collaboration, the three artists depict the biblical stories of transformational encounters with Jesus Christ as told through the experiences of three different women featured in the Gospels.

Miller's personal connection with one of the stories, that of the Samaritan woman at the well from John's Gospel, provides a poignant touch to the song. This tale is close to Miller's heart, as she has fostered a strong bond with her faith, particularly from her teenage years when she found solace and connection in the Eucharist and devotional practices such as adoration. The red candle near the tabernacle signifying Jesus's presence brings her a sense of home, regardless of her geographical location.

Despite her early insecurities in melding her passion for music with her religious beliefs, which she kept distinctly separate, Marie Miller's perspective shifted after reading St. John Paul II's 'Letter to Artists'. This document left a profound impact on her, enlightening her to the intrinsic connection between beauty in art and the divine. It was a turning point that helped her see her artistic pursuits as a channel to God's beauty.

Signed to a Christian music label at the young age of 16, Miller experienced the demanding life of an up-and-coming Christian artist. The pressures of her career coupled with typical teenage life led to burnout. However, after a period of reflection and rest, she returned with her independent release 'Little Dreams', emphasizing folk sounds and spiritual themes.

With 'Woman', Miller's artistry and faith have intertwined more profoundly. She shares insights from Mother Teresa on the significance of Jesus's expression of 'I thirst' and the value of human beings in God's eyes. This thematic depth is further explored in the song through stories of Mary Magdalene and the woman accused of adultery, underlining Jesus's message of unconditional love and value.

Now, as a newly married woman, Miller takes inspiration from her faith to fulfill her roles in life. She believes that focusing on Jesus and incorporating Him into her music positively impacts her endeavors.

Inspiration and Legacy

Miller's journey and her latest single 'Woman', show her commitment to creating music that is not only enjoyable but also spiritually enriching. Her story is an inspiration to artists who seek to bring together their craft and their faith. As Miller continues to express her devotion through her music, 'Woman' stands as a testament to her evolving legacy as a musician and as a believer.
