the brighter CD giveaway!

// November 12th, 2009 // 7 Comments » // creative, video, worship

Everybody likes free stuff right? Well today, I’m giving away a free download of The Brighter’s (our youth worship band) new album “To The City.” Couple of things… first, this album is truly amazing. My faves are How He Loves, Completely, & Your Name High, trust me, you’re gonna wanna hear it. Secondly, the guys have 3 original songs on the album, and I think every worship leader should check them out, all 3 are great worship tunes (Brighter, To the City, & Completely).

So here’s the deal, I want to give a copy away… today! So, lets keep it simple, leave a comment if you want to be entered in the drawing. Be sure to enter your email address. At 5:00p (central) today, I will throw the names in a hat and see who gets lucky.

Also, check the vid below, its from the night of the recording and its the first track off the album. I had the privilege of editing this little bad boy and I think it turned out pretty awesome. Its also available for free download at the bands website, as well as an option to purchase the album (if you don’t win it here of course).

Last Wednesday night was an incredible night of worship with our youth worship band The Brighter which we recorded for both a CD & DVD release. Our Creative Team is crack-a-lackin’ on this project hoping to get it out soon. As promised, I plan to post a few rough cuts here during the process as well as a few surprises along the way. Until then, I wanted to wet your appetites with a few killer photos that my boy Casey Lee took of the night! (Marcus Neto I’d slap yours up too if I had’em:)  Enjoy.

the Brighter live recording

Check it out… next Wednesday, we will be recording our first live album for both a CD & DVD release of our youth worship band, The Brighter. These guys are incredible, I can’t wait for you worship pastors/leaders to get your hands on some of their songs. Trust me, its really great stuff!

We’ve been prepping this concert for a couple of weeks now getting everything ready and of course we aren’t there yet, but we are close. Next week I’ll post some stills of the show as well as rough cuts throughout the post process. If you’re local or even semi-local you need to be here, next Wednesday at 7p! Also, you can follow The Brighter on Twitter.

Here’s the spot Will put together for the concert:

sing

// December 17th, 2008 // 3 Comments » // faith, worship

I love the lyrics of this Sanctus Real song. Its called Sing. It’s been playing over and over in my head lately, so I thought I’d share’m with ya. (also, I think this would make a killer “theme song” for next years One Prayer series)

Can we get back to where we started
When creation lived peacefully in Your hands
Before the wars began

And all these years we have been divided
Jesus’ voice has been gently calling us home
And we can’t wait anymore

Lord we feel You now
Wanting to come down and teach us how to

Sing oh sing
With one voice how sweet it will be
When we sing oh sing
One church under one King and we will sing

Pride has no purpose in God’s kingdom
Now’s the time for His church to join hands again
Oh together we must stand

Lord we need You now
Send Your Spirit down and free us as we

Sing oh sing
With one voice how sweet it will be
When we sing oh sing
One church under one King and we will sing

Hear the voices ringing out (You are King)
We will stand together now (You are Lord)
Hear the voices singing loud (You are King)
Live in peace
Live in peace and

Let the church of God ring out (You are King)
We will stand together now (You are Lord)
Hear the voices singing loud (You are King)
There is only one King

So what do you think?

Get the song (or the whole album) on iTunes.

I’m extremely late on this post (thanks to the hiatus), but its just too good not to share.

Stop what your doing and watch this right now.

Check this out if you want to see the video content that was used on the screens during the song.

august agape

Our next Agape is right around the corner, and this one is going to be amazing.

For those of you who don’t know, Agape is a worship concert we have about every quarter. It’s a creative worship environment with different elements, videos, communion, readings, etc.

So this next one (August 3rd) is going to be very cool because we’ve got the worship band from Gateway Church (Dallas) coming in for it. If you haven’t heard these guys you need to, they are amazing. They’ve just released their second live album and its smokin.’

Here’s the art Jeff worked up for the night. I’m diggin’ the pink.

This is my creative chaos.
