On this episode we take you live to the All About Worship Retreat for a little glimpse of the experience.

Wisdom and Ben open up a Q&A time with the retreat artists: Michael Farren (of Pocket Full of Rocks), Brenton Brown, Dave Fitzgerald, and Sarah Reeves. We opened up the mic for attendees to ask them whatever questions they’d like. As you can tell from the recording, we had a blast!

Live Streaming – Night of Worship w/ Brenton Brown, Pocket Full of Rocks, & More

We are so excited about the All About Worship Retreat coming up next week: May 19-21! As a part of the retreat we are hosting a free Night of Worship open to the public with Pocket Full of Rocks, Brenton Brown, Sarah Reeves, and Dave Fitzgerald (in conjunction with KLOVE, Air-1, and 93.7 The Fountain).

This will also be the big launch event for our new nonprofit ministry, Sounds of Redemption, which will be the parent organization of All About Worship. AAW will just be one of many ministries that Sounds of Redemption provides. To find out more about Sounds of Redemption, visit the website.

The free Night of Worship will be held at Grace Church in Overland Park, KS, but we know there are tons of you in our community who do not live near Kansas City, so we’ve worked it out with all the artists to be able to stream the event live online FOR FREE! You can join us live on this Livestream channel at 7:30pm CST next Friday night (5/20). Please help us spread the word to your friends, family, and social media network!

Putting on the All About Worship Retreat and this free Night of Worship is a pretty significant financial undertaking for us. If you’re able to support what we’re doing financially, that would be much appreciated! You can donate online by going to the “Give Now” page on SoundsofRedemption.com.

Thank you in advance for your prayer and financial support! It will enable us to continue to provide training events and online resources to thousands of worship leaders around the globe.
