Big Daddy Weave and their ‘Beautiful Offerings’
By Jessica Morris

Big Daddy Weave’s upcoming album Beautiful Offerings is more than just the ninth studio release for the Pensacola locals, it is a reflection of their journey as a band and where God has taken them.
“It really has been the last three years of our lives in the making,” shares front man Mike Weaver. “God has just had such just an amazing last season with the last record, some of these songs just really resonated with people in such a way, and the Holy Spirit just did an amazing work in peoples’ lives.”
Finding success with their previous album Love Come To Life, where they achieved 4 back-to-back No. 1 singles, Beautiful Offerings became a continuation of the journey. Weaver

In fact, as I talk to Weaver, it is clear that the subject matter, while close to his heart, is down right challenging as he seeks to live out this authentic faith in his own life. “The Kingdom of Heaven is not a maybe, the Kingdom of Heaven is certainty. Jesus says that His Kingdom is within us, and His Kingdom is at hand. The Kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.”
“What does that look like as we step out? To begin to confess not only am I saved from what I was, but then say, "I am a beautiful offering," because of you, your love changes everything. I am a beautiful offering and that changes the way that you look at what can happen today, because everything is possible to him who believes, is what Jesus says.”
Weaver is continually challenged by this notion. “I love when He makes those kind of statements, but it also terrifies me. I'm like dude, I am not living up to potential that is living right here inside of me, and it's Him! The God of the universe wants to do through me exceedingly, abundantly more than I can ask or think. That's just incredible. We feel like we are only scratching the tip of the iceberg. I know it because there is no end to the depth that has been afforded

    The reoccurring theme that can be seem in almost off the reading throughout the course is that of religion and its importance to people. People from different cultural backgrounds and circumstances used religion to survive harsh conditions, cope with changes around them, and even justify their actions. Although religion became the way many people during the time period lived their life, it was also a barrier because of the different ways people interpreted the religion. Each community shared their own beliefs and defended themselves with their own religious practices. Religion for many years has been a force that has continued to bring people together but also caused groups of people who share the same beliefs to branch out and create their…

    Louis Zamperini had the incredible drive and resilience to never give up no matter what he faced. He endured through giving up his Olympic dreams to be a part of the military where his life would never be the same again. He experienced and suffered through a plane crash, lack of food and water, predator attacks, and most of all, Japanese imprisonment (Hillenbrand 125, 162, 197). At these camps, he was tortured, beaten, verbally afflicted, and starved worse than anything a person could ever dream of (Hillenbrand 300). However, Zamperini stood tall and knew that all of the pain and suffering was temporary and would soon come to an end.…

    Top Ten Christian band Twenty One Pilots declared its musical manifesto three years ago in the song “Car Radio,” “I will try with every rhyme to come across like I am dying to let you know you need to try to think.” Twenty One Pilots’ hit “Stressed Out” is currently played on secular radio stations across the country and in Europe, and the duo is selling out concerts at every venue. Even though they are open about their faith, the band continues to sneak like a hacker through the world’s default gospel-rejection mechanism. While the dialectic voice confuses secular reporters, the message of salvation carries through to their listeners. “When I first listened to their music I was like, I’m not alone.…

    A few years ago, one of my good friends sent me some songs to listen to by a band that I had never heard of called Twenty One Pilots. Their sound was completely different from anything I had ever heard before, containing some rap, a ukulele, and a piano all in one album. No one song sounded like the other, but they all contained one common element: some type of deep message hidden in the lyrics. At first, I rejected the band, not liking the way the music sounded, but when I listened again, really paying attention to the lyrics this time, I fell in love immediately. Somehow, these short 3 minute songs by this almost totally unknown duo had utterly changed my entire perspective on life, and on the effects of music in particular.…

The author recounts how God, who could swear by nothing higher, swore upon Himself as He, the Lord, issued a promise to Abraham. Abraham's promise was certainly fulfilled. By the same token God demonstrates to us, the heirs of His current promise, that His purpose for us is unchangeable by sending the Lord Jesus.…

    Philippians 2:14-18 Do all things without grumbling and arguing in order that you may become blameless and guileless, God’s children who are unblemished amid a crooked and warped generation, among whom you shine like stars in the world by holding on to the word of life—a fact resulting in my boast in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain, nor did I toil in vain. But—even though I am being poured out upon the sacrifice and service rendered by your faith—I rejoice and share my joy with you all. Now you, too, in the same way, rejoice, and share your joy with me. •…

    The Wesley Understand of Human Salvation What is salvation? The salvation which is here spoken of is not what is frequently understood by the word, the going to heaven, eternal happiness. …… It is not a blessing which lies on the other side of death….it is a present thing….[it] might be extended to the entire work of God , from the first dawning of grace in the soul till it is consummated in glory (Maddox 143). Albert C. Outler noted that this sermon has the most extensive history of oral preaching behind it of any of the written sermons; therefore, he recommended it as the best single essay by which to judge Wesley’s soteriology (Maddox 323). Wesley denied here that human salvation is only a future hope; Wesley was also denying that it is…
