During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Worship Pastor at Saddleback Church, John Cassetto, encouraged his team to use that season to hear the voice of the Lord and prioritize songwriting.
With the only agenda being to chase the heart of God, the team wrote 3-5 drafts a week, allowing themselves to truly capture what God was telling them.
In that season of darkness and isolation, the Saddleback Worship team really felt God calling them to sing about the invitation for the wanderer to come home.
To come home from the darkness and into God’s light and abundant life.
The team’s new album, Alive & Well, is a declaration of God being alive in our hearts and in our communities.
The foundation of this album rests on Romans 8:11, “And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you” (NIV).
Alive & Well has quickly become Saddleback’s anthem as it has cultivated a culture of faith among church members.
Jesus is alive at Saddleback Church. He is reviving dead hearts, restoring marriages and families, breaking the chains of addiction, and comforting the lonely, depressed, and the hurting.
And he is alive and well at your church, pastor.
Whether you are aware of it or not, there are people in your church who desperately need a resurrection… in their relationships, finances, work, or health.
They need to be reminded that the “Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead” is living in them and is capable of restoring their dead dreams and hopes.
And Saddleback Worship's new music album will encourage you, your ministry team, and your congregation with songs of hope and new life.
