Nashville based worship collective We The Kingdom features long time worship leader and writer , Ed Cash and members of his family including daughter , Fanny , his brother , Scott , son Martin and good friend Andrew Bergthold . Their third project , Live At Ocean Way Nashville , features a few WTK favorites alongside some newly written anthems .
Known for their 70 ’ s California rock vibe with southern stylings and tight harmonies , WTK has been increasing in popularity since their 2019 debut album , Live At The Wheelhouse and churches around the world have adopted such worship favorites as “ Holy Water ” and “ God So Loved ” into their regular Sunday setlists .
While the above mentioned songs get some airplay on this release , there are plenty of fresh offerings that you and your congregation will love . Some of the standout tracks include the opener , “ Take Me On A Ride ” which is a peppy rocker about allowing ourselves to truly be free
“ No Doubt About It ” speaks of the never-ending faithfulness of God while we navigate the ups and downs of this life . The song encourages believers to keep their focus on our future reward in Heaven that Jesus won for us on the cross .
The instrumental foundation of piano and violins sets the tone beautifully on the stripped down “ Peace ” as Fannie Cash describes how the peace of Christ gives us rest when we are broken , and it is here that we find our hope in the promises of Jesus .
“ Don ’ t Tread On Me ” wraps up the little seven song album and reminded this reviewer of Bethel ’ s “ Ain ’ t No Grave ” from a few years ago . Ed Cash and family boldly declare the power of God over every evil that tries to bring us down . It is an important message of encouragement for the church to stand firm in the midst of persecution while at the same time declaring the power and majesty of God over all things .
The songs contained in this project are flawlessly performed and are pristinely written . At first listen it is easy to see that this family has been playing and singing together for a long time . I only wish they had added two or three new songs instead of retreading some of their favorites . I am a huge fan of WTK and I know God has big things in store for this talented family .

" House Of God " is a driving rocker proclaiming the power of God ' s presence that fosters encounter with Him . This song could be a great service opener while reminding the body of
