Nathan Peterson, lead singer of Hello Industry, and his wife Heather walked through a mission-defining journey in 2015 with the birth of their daughter, Olivia. Olivia, who passed away early in 2016, survived Trisomy 18 for 13 months after her birth, teaching many who loved her lessons about how deeply our value lies in Christ and is complete even when we are born because it isn’t based on what we DO or who we ARE but who we are in HIM. You can read more about their story in Nathan’s book, “So Am I,” published in 2017. Hello Industry stopped performing before Olivia’s birth, and Nathan is currently solo-writing and performing music just as Nathan Peterson.

Last year was probably one of the toughest years I’ve been through in quite a while. In a four month time span, our beloved family dog passed away from cancer, my long-time job was eliminated and I was sent to a different division at the company, then my mother passed away suddenly, and I resigned at work. Life felt like it was spinning out of control and I could do nothing to stop it. However, through the grace of God, a lot of tears and questioning, plus a TON of prayer, I made it through the darkest moments. I am beyond grateful for WBGL and the consistent connection to prayer, worship music, and encouragement to find peace during the pain and confusion of life.
