We honestly couldn’t be more excited to get this record out and everyone is working feverishly to waste no time.

John Thomas Price is mixing as we speak, and engineered/produced/mixed our first two records.
Brad Davis (Action Hero Design) is working on album art, and did the art for our first 2 releases as well.
The one and only Andy Reale is brainstorming some fun and creative video elements leading up to the release and not only did he produce the hymns DVD, but also the New Zealand Documentary.

Words cannot express how grateful we are to have these guys in our corner. For us, it is more than getting the best product, it is about building & strengthening relationships with the people God has put in our lives to partner with us in accomplishing his plans. John Thomas, Brad and Andy are partners…along with so many others. Please check out their work and hire them for your projects…they really are the best!!

Without your financial support and prayers we really wouldn’t be here.

We’ve got about 95% of the drums done and actually tracked 3 songs live today and I have to be honest with you, You know that moment when God breathes life into your process, and all of a sudden every bit of work, and writing, and late nights, and fund raising and effort all of a sudden make sense? Yeah.

Here’s our first update from the studio. We’re having a blast and can’t wait to get these songs out to you.

We believe that God is once again breathing life, a fresh creativity, into our hearts, minds & spirits – a compilation of songs being birthed out of joy, pain, love, hurt, brokenness, strength, weakness, success and failure. Songs that express a genuine response of love and worship to a God that is sovereign – who has redeemed, delivered, ransomed, saved and freed us – a God who is deserving of everything that we have to give, an offering of worship that is our best.

This is our heart for this new record, that regardless of style, flow, reason or rhyme…that God would be glorified and honored above anything else.

Again, we have chosen to not go about this process in the traditional manner of a record label, borrowing money, and being indebted to someone who might not have same heart of generosity or ministry that we do. This means that we are free to be radically generous with the songs and ministry that have been entrusted to us, by giving our music 100% free as a gift in partnership with Come&Live!

This is where we need your help! When you choose donate, youʼre actually making it possible for us to accomplish what God has called us to as a ministry, partnering with us to continue to give the gift of our music for free.

Youʼll be helping to cover the entire cost of this record, including:

1. Tracking, engineering & producing the full length record 2. Shooting, editing & producing the live DVD 3. Mixing & mastering the entire project 4. Pressing the first round of the CD/DVD double disc set 5. Making our record available for free digitally

We appreciate your prayerful consideration in helping us further the work God has called us to. Words cannot express just how grateful we are to God for you who join with us in modeling radical generosity to a world that needs the life changing gospel of Jesus Christ.

love,

Joel, Hayden, Jonathan & Seth & Team Come&Live!

We’re so stoked to have begun the writing process!! Thursday night we got together at the rehearsal space  our UO buddies are so graciously sharing with us, and started writing some music.

We’re all very excited about this season of our lives, being home with our friends and families, and really for the first time in the history of our band sitting down to write a record together, completely from scratch.

You’re prayers are very much appreciated as we enter into this process. Our desire is not to do something different, just for the sake of being different, or to write a corporate worship record just to appeal to the mainstream…our desire is to write a genuine worship album that reflects our hearts to honor the Father with the best of who we are and what he’s given us.

We’ll be launching a fundraising campaign soon and we’ll keep you informed about how you can help us get this music out!

Blessings, Joel, Hayden, Seth & Jonathan

It’s been an unbelievable year of touring and we’re really looking forward to time off at home to get Hayden hitched and write a new record. We appreciate your prayers and support in the months to come as we begin fund raising and planning the next year or so of our lives as individuals and as a ministry. Can’t begin to tell you just how excited we are to being the writing process together…and to get back in the studio. There’s a real sense of urgency to what God has laid on our hearts for this 3rd record. We want to be obedient to the call and yield to the process of allowing God to breathe on us and our music.

Thank you all for your love and support.

Blessings,

ATH
