Athena Sorensen is an award-winning Christian recording artist and songwriter whose mission is to share the hope of Jesus through music. After God healed her from an incurable autoimmune disease, Athena dedicated her life and voice to ministry, writing songs that testify to Christ’s power to heal and restore. Her original song “Have You Touched Jesus” earned her the title of Best Songwriter at the 2024 International Christian Film & Music Festival, and she was a Top 5 Finalist in the You God’s Music Showcase in San Antonio, Texas.

Over the past 22 years, Athena has released multiple albums and performed across the United States at churches, gospel festivals, fairs, and major events—including singing the National Anthem at a San Francisco Giants baseball game and sharing the stage with renowned artists at the California Mid-State Fair. Her ministry has also been featured on 3ABN, TBN, and other national Christian networks, and her music is available worldwide on iTunes, Amazon, and Pandora.

Athena’s heart is to encourage people to reach out and “touch Jesus” through worship. Whether through her songs, testimony, or children’s book Abbie’s Strange Dreams (nominated for the Red Letter Awards 2025), she prays that everyone who encounters her ministry will be drawn closer to Christ. Athena is married to her husband, Shawn, and together they are raising two beautiful children
