Miner, where they got married on November 30, 1985 in Tyler, Texas,[9] while they would later divorce.[10] Music careerCruse began ministering at the age of six alongside her family, The Cruse Family, a well-known evangelistic musical group. The group, popular throughout much of the 1970s and early 1980s, traveled and ministered all across the world. They released 25 albums and received two Dove Awards. While Cruse said she always had a heart for music ministry, she would not become involved with worship music herself until later in life. At the age of nine, she became the youngest licensed ASCAP songwriter. Since that time, she has written for and produced more than 100 album recordings. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Cruse recorded two Christian album-oriented rock/melodic rock albums entitled The Edge and Small Town Girl. Her husband at the time, contemporary Christian Music artist, Tim Miner served as executive producer for Small Town Girl. From 1997 to 1998, she traveled with Revival Ministries International leading worship for evangelistic crusades in the United States and abroad. In late 1998, she moved to Covenant Church in Carrollton, Texas, serving as one of three worship leaders. In January 2000, she received a phone call from Lakewood Church Pastor Joel Osteen, who offered her the opportunity to become the church's worship director. She was Osteen's first hire when he became the new pastor of Lakewood.[11] While Cruse said she and her husband did not initially feel drawn to the church, they quickly fell in love with the people and moved to Houston. Today, Cruse leads weekend worship services at Lakewood Church alongside Steve Crawford and Da'dra Crawford Greathouse, former members of the Contemporary Christian music duo Anointed. In May 2010, Cruse released her first studio album in over ten years, 23. The album features 12 original songs including "Shout it Out Loud", "Living in Me", "Hurricane", and more.[12] Personal lifeCruse lives in Houston, Texas and is married to Marcus Ratcliff, whom she met while working at Covenant Church.[10] The two have a son named Windsor. On July 17, 2008, the couple adopted twins after trying to have children. After taking a leave from the church, she returned on Saturday, September 27, 2008 and told the congregation her testimony about the adoption of the twins. She also introduced "Lord Of All"—a new song she wrote with her nephew Ryan Cruse. Cruse is the daughter of Joe and Nancy Cruse, and is one of five children. Her siblings, Jane Cruse Bearden, Dr. John Cruse, Joe Cruse III and Karen Cruse Adams are all involved in full-time Christian ministry.[2] Her eldest brother, Joe Cruse III, who is married to Becky, was the only sibling not born in Texas.[2][5] Discography{{Infobox Discography| Type = studio | Name = Cruse | Released = 1984 | Format = Cassette, CD | Label = Nissi | Producer = }}{{Infobox Discography | Type = studio | Name = Cruse 2 | Released = 1984 | Format = Cassette, CD | Label = Nissi | Producer = }}{{Infobox Discography | Type = studio | Name = The Edge | Released = 1989 | Format = Cassette, CD | Label = Nissi | Producer = }}{{Infobox Discography | Type = studio | Name = Small Town Girl | Released = January 1, 1991 | Format = Cassette, CD | Label = Frontline | Producer = Tim Miner, Cindy Cruse }}{{Infobox Discography | Type = live | Name = Lakewood Live: We Speak to Nations | Released = May 28, 2002 | Format = CD | Label = Integrity | Producer = }}{{Infobox Discography | Type = live | Name = Lakewood Live: Cover the Earth | Released = February 10, 2004 | Format = CD | Label = Integrity | Producer = }}{{Infobox Discography | Type = live | Name = The Gift | Released = October 15, 2006 | Format = CD | Label = Lakewood Music | Producer = }}{{Infobox Discography | Type = live | Name = Free to Worship | Released = October 15, 2007 | Format = CD | Label = Lakewood Music | Producer = }}{{Infobox Discography | Type = live | Name = 23 | Released = May 7, 2010 | Format = CD | Label = RPM Music | Producer = }}{{Infobox Discography | Type = | Name = Heaven Raining Down | Released = April 15, 2014 | Format = CD | Label = Dream | Producer = }}{{Infobox Discography | Type = | Name = Lluvia Celestial | Released = January 20, 2015 | Format = Digital | Label = Dream | Producer = }}{{Infobox Discography | Type = | Name = Your Word | Released = November 20, 2015 | Format = Digital | Label = Impeccable Music Group | Producer = Billy Dorsey, co-producers: Ron Charlton, Paul Yuen, JD Karpicke, and Telford Birmingham II }}
