Red Worship Sees Deep Hunger for God Among Fans on Tour: 'It's Been Incredible'
The members of one of Christian music’s newest collectives say they’re seeing God at work on tour, with audiences displaying a hunger for the gospel that makes sharing their faith through song all the more joyful.
Red Worship won a Dove Award for Gospel Worship Album of the Year this month for "Live at Redemption Church" and recently released its latest album," Witness." Born out of Redemption Church in San Jose, Calif., the collective features Lizzie Morgan, Trinity Anderson, Jonathan Traylor, Jonathan Stamper and Andrew Maldonado.
Red Worship is currently traveling the country with CeCe Winans alongside Charity Gayle and Terrian as part of the “Come Worship!” tour.
Anderson said some fans have even flown in from other states to attend the concerts.
“People are hungry,” she said. “They are meeting us and just telling us their story. We meet some of them in the Q&A and the meet-and-greet, and are just hearing about it. When we open up that space, we're seeing so much response. They're coming with open hearts. It has been incredible to see.”
Traylor added, “We're getting off stage, laying hands, praying for people.”
“We're in arenas full of people — different generations, young, old, different cultures, different backgrounds coming together to worship.”
The diverse crowds reflect Red Worship itself, Traylor noted, with singers of different races, backgrounds and musical tastes coming together to worship the Lord.
“That's what it should be,” he said. “It’s a laying down of your preference —and being one, and being in a group, being in the collective. There are no egos in the group. [It’s the] killing of any ego, any flesh, and saying, ‘Okay, God, be exalted.’"
“This is what the body of Christ is supposed to look like.”
Anderson added about the group, “The Lord just kind of knit us together. It's just been incredible to see how we've come from all different walks of life.”
Traylor jokingly compared the concert to a spiritual boxing match, with Terrian opening, Red Worship and Charity Gayle following, and CeCe Winans concluding — all throwing punches at Satan.
“It's just like haymakers, man,” he said, laughing. “The enemy is just getting haymakers.
“I grew up listening to CeCe Winans,” he said. “For all of us, she marked a lot of our faith journeys. So to be in close proximity with her, she calls us her kids, and she's laughing with us. And she's just so kind.
“It's just been great to learn from her.”
