This weekend we were able to As both introduce the fantastic song, Reckless Love, to our church community and continue our “More Than Happy” theme by telling an amazing story of redemption and wrapping it within the lyrics of this powerful song.

This highlights a couple techniques we employ often to maximize impact.

1. Introduce a new worship chorus by using it in special way that allows people to just experience and absorb. This gives us the ability to even highlight the lyrics of the song and even weigh response before it becomes part of our regular rotation.
2. We call this “The Weave”. In this case, we bookended the video story of Krista with the song. It prepared people for what they were about to hear and then put an appropriate period on her story.

Krista’s story also encompassed one of our close local partners Refuge for Women, which serves as a transition home/program for ladies escaping the horror of human trafficking. Located right in Las Vegas, we are humbled to stand alongside their work providing resources and volunteers. This was an extra subtle bonus of presenting her story.
