During worship service Pastor Brant Baker would declare "Kiss toward Him, worship Him!" Some of us young guys were a bit uncomfortable with the thought of men kissing men. But the Holy spirit was so evident and present that it was a non issue of worshipping at Brant's services.

Matt Redman has composed some of the most recognizable praise and worship music in the modern era. He has been leading worship full-time since the age of 20, and this journey has taken him to countries such as South Africa, Japan, India, Australia, Germany, Uganda, Croatia and the Czech Republic. His early compositions include "The Heart of Worship," "Better is One Day," and "Once Again." More recent songs have included "Blessed Be Your Name" and "You Never Let Go." Matt is one of the pioneers of the Passion movement with Chris Tomlin and Louie Giglio. He and his family currently serve in Giglio's Atlanta-based Passion City Church.
