After spending a week in contemplative silence at a retreat, Jennifer Klein decided to leave her job as an associate at Strasburger & Price in Austin, Texas, give up the trappings of a lawyer lifestyle and devote her life to a music ministry. "I decided to share the Word [of God] through song," she says. Klein says she took pride in her work as a lawyer but came to realize law isn't her passion. And she says other lawyers considering a career change shouldn't be fearful of giving up a lawyer's income.

“I decided to share the Word [of God] through song,” she says.
