SO DIVINE - OUT NOW

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

thank you God for such an incredible release day 🌻

this song is so special to us. like many songs from our community, this one was written in the isla vista house-of-prayer (aka the garage behind the @jesusburgers house). after that, we got to bring it to life on tour this spring, and then finish it in the studio (aka @danithelyra ‘s living room) this summer.

thank you to the village that helped make “Melodies Over Me” what it is. as @jlomelino says: all fruit is family fruit 🍊

10 years ago today I moved to Lynchburg, VA. And a week later in my home the start of @breakthrough.church as a ministry. I can hardly believe it’s been an entire decade! I could’ve never known the plans God had for my life as a 18 year old kid moving here just off of complete faith and obedience. I’m blown away by the beauty, the relationships, the places the Lord’s taken me all over since coming here, and all I’ve seen him do in our lives + the church. I’m in awe and so grateful. 🥹 I love you, Lynchburg.

LOOKING FOR WATER (my 3rd album) IS OUT EVERYWHERE.
an exposé on our union with God, 16 songs designed to remind you that Jesus is with you.
this record was such a joy filled mission. they say “it takes a village,” and it really has!!
i’m so grateful for the friends & family who helped me make this happen. we’ve been writing these songs since 2020 and producing it since April of 2024. like a slow-cooked croc pot meal is good for the body, i hope this slow-cooked album is nutritious for your soul. 💛

My thoughts...
The friendships made are a treasure and are worth more than gold. A treasure to behold. Having come back home, I brought with me everything I've learned and will help the community I'm in now. To grow in creating music WITH God, to steward my ship He entrusted to me, and to navigate the hallway - trusting God will reveal everything in His time.
I know God led me to this school for a reason. Forever grateful and blessed to have learned from the teachers and students from IVW School 2026. Love you all! 🫶🤍

How can i condense a life changing experience into a single post? I cant. @islavistaworship SCHOOL was amazing. I went thinking i was going to just learn how to be a better artist and writer which i definitely did but the biggest lesson was in the quiet time with God. Highways were opened and God spoke in a way that has changed my outlook on life. No more striving or reaching. The new me is just enjoying every moment with God
