The depth of Sharon's messages come straight from the depth of love she has for the Creator. I was deeply moved not only by her message, but by the overall beauty of her music and skill. She is absolutely mesmerizing. I cannot wait to experience another one of her concerts.

Sharon inspires others to worship God with their whole heart, soul and being. Her beautiful Stand devotion and the accompanying soundtrack transport me to the threshold of God's throne room and beckons me come inside. Her sweet, authentic voice rends the heavens and her spirit-filled prophetic songs reflect a heart devoted in intimacy and love for her Savior. It makes me want to know and experience God more. I especially love the way the atmosphere shifts to welcome God's presence as she prays, she leads and she guides those who follow her to the feet of Jesus. Worshiping with Sharon is an invitation to experience the glory of our living God. She celebrates Christ's beautiful promises in every part of her life, faith and love for others - His light shines in everything she does.

Becky Carpenter
There are times when a song strikes me as only being possible to be birthed out of deep, intimate time with the Father. This is what Sharon’s songs repeatedly do for me. There’s an extra heart element of her LIVE performance that contagiously stirs a new intimacy in my own. She speaks about each song with simple, yet unique clarity and then gets lost in worship as she plays and sings, pulling the audience in with her. She’s a true worshiper in Spirit and in Truth - a reminder of what songs are made for. Book Sharon Tedford for your next event! You won’t be disappointed!

Have you heard Sharon Tedford pray? Her prayers, her songs, and her messages reveal the heart of a woman who knows God intimately. Sharon doesn’t live in an ivory tower. She’s in it with her listeners, always sharing profound insights along with practical applications. Sharon has a unique way of teaching that gets right to the heart of the matter, leaving her audience with a deeper connection to God. Invite Sharon to sing at your event. Or teach. Or pray. (Or perhaps all three!) You—and your group—will forever be changed by her message and her heart.
Patricia Durgin
The moment you meet Sharon Tedford, immediately you sense the passion and love of Jesus. Her timid quirkiness in her songs, writings and witness, explode with Praise & Worship that can only be inspired by the Holy Spirit! She touches the Lives of so many, and anyone Sharon comes in contact with is inspired, encouraged and strengthened with Love from Abba Daddy... Sharon Tedford, is completely and totally sold-out to Jesus! Amen & Hallelujah!
Lynette “Nettie" Patterson
Have you ever heard a beautiful song, with words that lodged in your heart and wondered, “I’d love to know the story that birthed that!” Singer/songwriter Sharon Tedford has lifted the veil and welcomed us into the process, revealing the stories behind the songs of her. The lyrics flow not from a desire simply to tell the reader about her Jesus. Instead, she discloses the intimate relationship she enjoys with the Savior, and invites us to join her there. Well-written and compelling, Tedford weaves stories that tempt the reader to set the book aside and sit for a while at the feet of the King. The companion CD is the perfect accompaniment for that time with Him. Do not miss this powerful and inspiring book.
Deborah DeArmond
The best songs are not the ones that just sound good but are lived well. Sharon takes her stories and what God is teaching her and puts it to music and it is awesome. “Stand” tells the stories of God working in her life and how each song was written because of a story. We all struggle with the same issues and challenges in life though our specific circumstances may be different. I wholeheartedly endorse and encourage you to not just hear her music but to know her stories as well. When you do that, the music will be even more powerful.
Bob Roberts Jr.
You always wonder what the stories behind the music are. Vocalist/author Sharon Tedford provides those stories, with beautiful, scriptural reflections. Her CD with the same name, Stand, would be perfect for a quiet day--reading through the companion book. When I did this, I felt as though I'd given myself a half-day retreat. I highly recommend both.
Janet McHenry
Sharon has a heart full of worship and her song writing comes from this and her lived faith experience; her concert if a fusion of well crafted songs and compelling stories which seek to glorify her Lord. Sharon connects well with the audience.
Dave Coombs
Sharon’s live show is professional, entertaining and moving. The songs and stories are bound to make you think, respond and move closer to God.
Stephen Gaukroger
A powerful time of worship and ministry. Sharon shared from her personal experiences and encounters with God, and through her amazing gifting and ability was able to bring them home through the lyrics, music and testimony.
