“Life is hard and worship will not always or even usually be our default setting,” shares Chris Llewellyn of Rend Collective about new album Choose to Worship. “It’s not initially natural to respond to a cancer diagnosis, or the death of a loved one or a major career setback with a song of praise and trust. This album is an invitation into the spiritual discipline that we have been living as a community of building altars of praise in the darkness, trusting that whether or not the dawn comes, worship is still our sacred duty—and privilege. We hope this album gives you a vocabulary so that you can sing from the shackles, lift an anthem of defiance against your circumstances and raise a shout of joy that demoralizes the enemy in his attempts to silence you."
