Award-Winning Former NASA Rocket Scientist & Educator, Husband & Wife Duo Alabaster Grace, Release New Single, 'You Are Faithful'

Apr 08 2024

Husband and wife duo Alabaster Grace has released their new single, "You Are Faithful," from Westar Media Group.


Brad Perry, a highly decorated former NASA rocket scientist, and his wife, Joanie Perry, a dedicated educator, are known professionally as Alabaster Grace.

“Alabaster Grace’s new single has a powerful message with a powerful beat. It is inspirational and a song everyone can relate to," says Kathryn Livingston, director of client services for Westar Media Group. "Joanie and Brad have a unique sound that adapts to all different genres and beats."

For the follow-up to their most recent single, “Traveling On,” the couple once again called on multiple Dove Award-winning producer Chris Bevins (producer and keyboards for Selah, Salvador, Jaci Velasquez, and Christine D'Clario).

"Alabaster Grace is walking into this new season with a bold embrace of God's promises," says Bevins. "He is with us and He is faithful! Joanie and Brad are singing and playing a new song of truth and of a secure faith, that we have victory in our lives thanks to the goodness of God. Turn it up, and join them as they thank Him for His promises and worship Him for His kindness and love!"

Joanie, Alabaster Grace's primary songwriter, penned the song's lyrics and melody, while Brad wrote the guitar parts, the bridge, and additional instrumental motifs. Together, Joanie and Brad further developed the song and crafted the arrangement along with Bevins.

The song is based on 2 Timothy 2:11-13 (ESV): The saying is trustworthy, for If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful-for he cannot deny himself.

“You Are Faithful,” which has a driving military-style theme and features the percussive beat of the drums throughout the song, was birthed during a time of prayer and supplication when Brad and Joanie were going through personal difficulties.

"From the beginning, we had a sense of knowing that God is faithful," Brad remembers. "Throughout our lives, we, like everyone, had experienced times of struggle, and even battles. However, we knew that because of who we are in Christ, the war had already been won."

"This song flows with a sense of God's faithfulness," says Joanie. "The lyrics point to our faith and trust in God even when we face trials and tribulations. We are to seek the protection of God by wearing His armor in spiritual warfare."

Alabaster Grace’s new single, "You Are Faithful," can be streamed on Spotify or YouTube.

The new single follows on the heels of Brad's recent appointment as associate pastor of Historic White Marsh Church, an independent Bible-believing and teaching church in Lancaster, Virginia.

"Joanie and I are excited to focus our desire to serve God and reach people for Christ on a more personal level at Historic White Marsh Church," says Brad, an ordained pastor.

"Rev. Wes Hall had been praying for more ministry support and he was pleased with this answer to prayer, along with the enthusiastic church board's recognition of God's leading," says Mrs. Brenda Hall.
