With uplifting songs on their new album, “The Joy,” the contemporary group The Neverclaim hopes to remind worshippers about the excitement of singing praises to the Lord.
The Neverclaim is made up of Jeremiah Carlson (lead singer), Chuck Hill (bass), Mitchell Maldonado (guitar/keys) and Beji George (drums).
During concerts the group desires to emphasize a powerful message to help people remember that believers can rest in Christ’s love, reflect in their identity found in Him and rejoice in His victory.
“Almost every song on the new album is centered around the joy of the Lord as our strength, our identity in Christ and the victory that’s won in Christ,” Carlson said.
“Although we still face hardships in life and times of struggle, we have access to a greater reality that fills our hearts with joy. We believe that people are hungry for authentic joy — a joy that is not based on circumstances, but on the fact that God is for us, so nothing can be against us.”
‘Experience revival’
In 2013, The Neverclaim made an impressive debut with the release of their self-titled album, which ranked No. 34 on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers Albums chart.
Desiring to connect people to the life-changing love of Christ through music, the group spends time reading the Bible together and discussing ways to incorporate Scripture into their songs.
The Neverclaim’s goal is to provide a life-changing encounter with God no matter where they perform. This fall The Neverclaim is appearing on “The Promises Tour” with 7eventh Time Down and Manic Drive.
“During concerts our main goal is that people would experience revival in their hearts and change the world around them,” Carlson said. “Our message really is so simple: Jesus is all you need to change the world.”
In an effort to encourage people to reach out and make a difference in the lives of others, The Neverclaim is committed to helping raise awareness for One Child Matters, an organization that sponsors more than 40,000 children in 16 countries all around the world.
More than having a passion for music, the group has a calling to touch lives, Carlson noted.
“Our group name means that we never want to claim God’s glory for our own,” Carlson explained. “We want to surrender our own desires, allowing God to work and inviting people to worship Him. With these songs we want to inspire people and create opportunities for them to experience and encounter God in a real way.
“These songs come from a deep place in our hearts, from our own devotions and worship to the Lord. I believe the heart’s cry of every believer is to connect with God. I believe the songs resonate in that way — creating adoration toward Jesus, proclaiming who God is and the great story of redemption.”
