Redeemed
Most worship songs fall into one of two categories, either ones that reflect how we as individuals feel about God with respect to our own lives, or ones that simply praise God for who He is. I love those songs. We give Him praise because His love never fails, because He is mighty to save, [...]

It’s Time Worship
The last two weekends we had our CRosSWILD spring retreats and we had an unbelievable time. Going into the camp Sarah Burke and I wanted to focus on a couple of things. First we wanted to connect bible verses to all of the songs we sang. We wanted everyone to know that the songs we [...]
