Big Daddy Weave, Jason Gray, Citizen Way and Lauren Daigle!  We got VIP tickets mostly for the seating they come with but Wow!  The VIP session was so good.  A group of humble, thankful musicians!  Just so down to Earth! 

Then came to the VIP session and the artists sat right with us and hadn't even gotten ready for the concert.  I reminded Jason Gray of our previous meeting and told him I didn't get to ask him about the motivation behind, It's Good To Be Alive.  I wish I could I repeat word for word what he said.  He didn't write the song but had strong feelings about it.  He talked about watching his children play and how the joy that brings him is joyful to God and it actually is like worshiping God.  Soaking in God's gifts to you every minute is worship and brings God happiness.  Toward the end of what he was saying he said even drinking a good cup of coffee and enjoy it can honor God.  " Do you know what I mean" he asked.  Oh yes I said.  I know exactly what you mean.  I did not do justice to what he said.  Makes me love that song even more!!!

 The big daddy of Big Daddy Weave.

After the VIP I went to look at shirts and look what I found.  I bracelet with this on it.  I bought it and a shirt.  

Here we go! Big Daddy Weave!  They "weaved" all the artists together in this concert.  It wasn't just one at a time.  These musicians had one mission, to spread the word of God!  It was so clear from the very beginning. It was not about them.  Not a bit!  They were using their gifts to be disciples!

 Love that smile!

Lauren, I was not familiar with her music but she had a powerful voice!  See the head in the picture???  You will see it a lot.  This man was a couple rows in front of me and never sat down.  I tried to work around him as much as possible.

 Citizen Way!

During the VIP session this young girl shared her story.  Religion wasn't her thing.  Actually, one of the artists said, GOOD!  This is not about religion.  Anyway, she shared that she finally gave into someone who had been asking her to come to church for a long time.  It was Easter Sunday and she gave herself to God that very day!  Just last Easter.  She was brought on stage during the concert so that we could celebrate her decision with her.

 Scripture reading!

First song Jason Gray sang was...It's Good to be Alive! Lots of Jason Gray pictures I know.  I kind of like him. Even Mike said he really has an anointing for sharing stories of faith, stories of being a human.  He is funny too.

We had a short break and then all the artists were together on stage!  Amazing!  They played together but took turns singing.

Ballads! So moving!  We all sang the songs throughout most of the concert and it was more than amazing.  There are a lot of concerts out there.  Christian concerts have an added extra.  The Holy Spirit filled the room and you could feel it, the power, the love, the community!

At the end of the concert all the artists stood on the edge of the stage.  The director of the show (I think that is who it was) prayed over us for at least 15 minutes.  All the artists had their hands raised up over us.  It was so, so something I can't explain.  He asked God to remove our doubt, anxiety, stress, and so much more.  It was a moment to remember!

 One last Jason Gray.  Signing and taking pictures afterwards.

Big Daddy Weave said he would be there after the concert to give anyone that wanted it a big 0' Big Daddy hug.  I took advantage of that.  Then a picture!
