Paige Omartian

Paige Omartian is an author, speaker, and recording artist who is passionate about stirring an awakening in young people. She desires to reach teens and young adults to encourage them to find their purpose and not waste their life. Through her own struggle with cancer, she has come face to face with the reality of how precious life is, and how God has an amazing purpose for each one of us.

During her battle with cancer at 11 years old, she was granted a wish through the Make-A-Wish Foundation to travel to Nashville and make a Christian album. Her early music also found its way onto the Bath & Body Works Holiday album in 2005 alongside such notables as Jessica Simpson and Martina McBride. She appeared on programs such as “The Today Show” and “Extra” sharing her story and the new Christmas music.

She has since released her own debut rock album, “Wake Up”, as well as a DVD of “Sermonettes” on Biblical advice for teen topics. In addition, she has been the speaker for a national tour called iShine Live, and hosted a global TV show called, “iShine Knect”. Omartian has released her first book with Harvest House Publishers, titled, “Wake Up, Generation”. She has also written “A Book of Prayers for Young Women” with her mother-in-law, Stormie Omartian.

Omartian’s mission is to awaken young people to break the chains of apathy, reclaim their value and live out the incredible, God-given mission for their lives.“Ultimately”, says Omartian. “It comes down to this: My purpose is to help other people find theirs.”

Omartian was married to Chris Omartian who is a music producer, musician, and songwriter. The couple currently reside in St. Louis and have two daughters.
