With their new album, “Beautiful Offerings,” Big Daddy Weave hopes to encourage and equip worshippers as they tour across the country this fall.
“We want people to know that they are precious to God and that their identity is sealed in what Jesus has done for them on the cross,” lead singer Mike Weaver said. “In the last couple of years, the Lord has done a huge work in my life by reminding me of His great love for His children.”
These five musical talents met while attending the University of Mobile and began leading worship for events. From the start, the group felt led to share the message of Christ’s love with songs of praise for God’s glory.
Their previous album, “Love Come to Life,” garnered four consecutive No. 1 singles. The album featured the hit song, “Redeemed,” which was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.
“The song ‘Redeemed’ impacted people in ways we never could have imagined,” Weaver said. “As people around the world received the message of being redeemed, we began hearing powerful stories about the freedom and forgiveness they were experiencing while discovering their new identity in Christ. It’s been incredible.”
Wherever the Dove Award-winning band performs, their focus remains directed toward Christ, who they consider their “audience of one.”
“We are followers of Christ and His goodness is captivating,” Weaver said. “We’ve seen the value of sharing the reality of personal struggles and being vulnerable about hard times. Everyone struggles, but the good news is that we have a Savior who walks with us and never leaves us. Our desire is to connect with people by sharing these experiences and leading them to Christ. The encouragement comes from hearing stories about lives being changed, people worshipping God and praying that God’s will be done and His kingdom come.
“We’ve had some times where we were certain in our minds that we were totally messing up, and no one was getting it,” Weaver said. “Then, at the end, all these people come up and share all these different experiences. They have said things like, ‘I was having a rough time, and the Lord really spoke to me through this.’ That’s so cool to see and reminds us that God is not nearly as interested in our ability as much as He is in our availability. We are ready, willing and able to be used for His glory.”
While performing around the country, band members desire to see lives changed.
“Our spiritual act of worship is to offer our lives to God and honor Him through our words and actions,” Weaver said. “We not only have to look at what we are saved from, but we have to look at what we have been saved for. As believers that is the high calling placed on all of our lives and we can respond by taking action and leading people to Christ.
“We want people to experience God’s love in a very real way, and we want them to realize that God wants to fill them up with His Spirit and use them for His glory. It’s about laying ourselves down and letting Jesus live through us. The truth of God’s Word will be seen, not just heard, by a move of God’s Spirit in our lives.”
