Musical Guest
GUNGOR

A lot has changed in the past few years for Michael Gungor and his bandmates: new band name, new location, new church, a stellar new sound, and most importantly a new understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus.

"The story of God has gotten bigger to me," relates Gungor, who is perhaps best known for co-writing distinguished songs like "Friend of God" and the Dove Award-winning "Say So." "We had become 'professional' Christians. We got to the point where we needed to figure out how to be the church in a more honest way for us."

This bigger story of God shows up on Beautiful Things in songs born of an honest journey of faith and a struggle with what should result from worship.

"If leading worship is just about bringing a group of people into a room so we can get goosebumps and sing songs together, there's not much value in that. But if leading worship is a means to an end, that we leave this place as a different kind of people, as part of a new humanity that God wants to create – the people that are caring for the widows and orphans, that aren't bound by the systems of this world but becoming free, becoming fully engaged in our world – then that matters."
