Kristen Bearfield of High Road underwent myomectomy surgery on Tuesday and is now recovering at home.

Bearfield had been dealing with health problems for several months before seeking medical help. In the fall of last year, she experienced symptoms that she initially hoped would improve on their own. However, the symptoms persisted and could no longer be ignored.

The week before Christmas, Bearfield met with a specialist and surgeon in Nashville. She received a diagnosis that was more serious than she had anticipated. The doctor told her she needed surgery that could not be delayed in order to preserve her future health. She also had a biopsy on New Year’s Eve.

In a Facebook post before the surgery, Bearfield asked for prayers and explained what she had been going through.
“I’ve been pretty silent recently, because I’ve been walking through a very unexpected and overwhelming season… but I wanted to share this now to ask for prayer,” Bearfield wrote. “For several months during the fall of last year… I was dealing with health symptoms that could no longer be pushed aside, hoping they would simply get better.”
She continued: “I am scheduled for a myomectomy surgery this Tuesday, February 10th. I would truly cherish prayers for the surgery to completely take care of these issues with no complications, and for a smooth recovery as I take some time off.”

Bearfield acknowledged that the situation had been difficult but expressed her faith throughout the process.

“The last several weeks have been very unsettling, to say the least, but God has been in every detail of this journey, from allowing me to get to a top specialized surgeon, to the support that has surrounded me every step of the way,” she wrote.

She added: “I can’t say I understand the ‘why’ of all this, but I KNOW I trust that God has me, and the future, right in the palm of His hand.”

The surgery took place on Tuesday morning, and Bearfield was able to go home that same afternoon. On Wednesday, The High Road’s official Facebook page shared an update with fans.

“Thank you ALL for praying for Kristen as she had surgery yesterday morning. She went home yesterday afternoon and is recovering there and we are so thankful everything went great. Your prayers are appreciated a ton as she heals up!” the group posted.

Bearfield is now taking time off to focus on her recovery.

Discover High Road’s Heartfelt Gospel Album: ‘Straight From The Heart’

HighRoad’s latest album, Straight From The Heart, brings together a collection of heartfelt songs and special collaborations. One of the standout tracks is “There’s A River,” a song that features guest artist Jaley Roberts. Sarah Jaylee Roberts of High Road spoke about the experience of recording this song with her friend.

“We got to sing this one with my friend Jaley Roberts. She’s also in a bluegrass group called Sister Sadie and I love Jaley singing and I love her heart for the old songs. So bringing her in on this project and especially this song is very special. She’s a dear friend and we loved singing it in the studio. Of course Ben Isaacs producing it so it has a little bit of flair to it that you would hear with bluegrass-y gospel music. So we hope you like it. It’s called There’s a River.”

The song is a moving invitation for people to come to the river, a symbol of healing and renewal. The lyrics describe a place where living water flows freely, calling people to leave their burdens behind and find peace.

“Come to the river, oh my sister
If you want to be clean
Run to the water, oh my brother
If ya wanna wade into the healing stream.”

This idea reflects the message of baptism, but also of John 7:38, where Jesus says, “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” The song reminds listeners that faith can bring refreshment to their spirits, just like water brings life to a dry land.

The song continues with an image of leaving behind struggles and stepping into a new beginning.

“We don’t have to stay here dying in the desert
Kick your shoes off, leave your burdens on the banks
Take my hand now, friend, and we’ll go in together
Let the water wash our troubles all away.”

The bridge makes it clear that the invitation is open to everyone.

“Welcome saints, welcome sinners
Welcome pros and I-can’t-swimmers
All ya really need to know
Is all ya need is faith to float.”

This message of inclusion and grace is at the heart of the song. Whether someone feels strong in their faith or unsure of where they stand, the river is a place where all are welcome.

With Jaley Roberts’ beautiful voice and Ben Isaacs’ skilled production, the song blends the traditional sounds of bluegrass with gospel, creating a piece that is both classic and refreshing. “There’s A River” is more than just a song; it is an invitation to find healing, peace, and hope through faith.

In an exciting collaboration that bridges some of gospel music’s finest talents, High Road’s latest track “There’s A River” brings together songwriting powerhouses Kenna Turner West and the Isaacs sisters, Sonya and Becky.

Sarah Davison, excited to share the story behind the song, recounts the moment she first learned about the collaboration. “Everyone knows that the Isaacs are some of the most talented people in the whole gospel world,” Davison explains. “I love their songwriting and I love their singing so much.”

The opportunity came when songwriter Kenna Turner West approached Davison with an intriguing proposition. “When Kenna Turner West came to me and said, ‘I have this song that I wrote with Sonya and Becky,’ I said, ‘Sonya and Becky, Isaacs?'” Davison recalls. Upon confirmation, she knew she had to hear the song.

The result didn’t disappoint. “There’s A River” has emerged as one of the most dynamic tracks on High Road’s latest album. “It’s probably one of the fastest, most upbeat songs on the album and it’s so much fun to sing,” Davison shares enthusiastically.

The collaboration brings together some of Gospel Music’s most respected talents in one spirited recording.
