Early Access to New Music!

Hello from the Cageless Birds!

At the time of this update, it is late-April and we are nearly halfway through this years’ 18 Inch Journey—our school of the heart that we lead in North Carolina. This is the 17th year of leading our school, and after a year of pausing from our normal rhythms, we are deeply grateful to walk out discipleship with these precious men and women from all over the world.

In the midst of leading schools, our team is continuing to work on our upcoming Cageless Birds Live Album, set to release this fall! To honor your partnership and help bringing this dream to fruition, we want to give you early access to the first acoustic single from the album.

Last year, while leading worship overseas, we visited the stunning Wells Cathedral in the UK and were able to capture a beautiful acoustic version of the new song “Cathedral.” The song has been an anthem for our schools and community for the last two years and we are so excited to share this song with the world. On May 30th, we will be releasing this acoustic take, as well as a live version that was recorded here on the campus, an extended version, and beautiful live videos of each of these. We are excited for to you to be the first people to see this video! We pray this song ministers to your heart today. We cherish all of your support!

Help us reach our goal!

Friends, we are nearly 40% of the way to our $70,000 goal to fully fund our new live worship album! We desire to continue growing a support team who know the financial and prayerful needs of capturing, processing, and releasing an album of this kind. We greatly value your covering and want to invite you to continue partnering with our ministry to help bring this project across the finish line!
