our original music was birthed out of . So yeah , “ How to Start a Housefire .”
[ WM ] Good answer . So , as a collective , you all hail from different parts of the country , and therefore bring regional and family cultures with you . It must be very interesting to experience this , creating a new community .
[ Ryan ] I feel like that ’ s what makes this project and this group unique and very special for sure . The fact that we ’ re all from different regions , we all have different backgrounds , and different cultural backgrounds . I feel like this group is supposed to represent that for sure , just different regions , different ways that people do home church , different vibes , different styles , different sounds . And so , this is kind of the Avengers of the home group , the Avengers of house church music . It ’ s really cool just to come together and then for all of us just kind of share what ’ s happening in our own regions and our own cities and bring it to the table . And it all fits together , there ’ s a lot of grace and unity when we do come together . So , I really love that aspect too , for sure .
[ WM ] Let me ask you about the song , “ If I Could Have Anything ”. Please tell us about that , who wrote it , etc ?.
[ Blake ] I wrote that song with an old friend of mine and we hadn ’ t written with each other in a while . And so , we sat down , had a long conversation about leading worship after all
If I Could Have Anything these years and doing the church thing and having our own stories that kind of wove in and out of loving the journey of worship and not loving it and everything . We had a conversation about , “ Why do we do this thing in the first place ? What still brings us back ?” It was a long three-hour conversation and then we sat down at a piano and just kind of turned this song out really quick .
So , it feels really pure . It feels like just a reminder of why we started this thing in the first place . Why am I still drawn to going after Jesus and worshiping with other people ? And so , it started as that , and then as we got into the recording our friend Ahjah came in and just kind of took it to a whole different level . She came in and brought her heart into it , and it felt like it unfolded into this really beautiful song . I ’ m excited to see how it resonates with people and how it challenges even myself to internalize and make kind of the heart of that song a real thing .
