Stu Garrard

On Sunday night November 12th at 6:30pm we're excited to have Stu G come to Lifespring to perform the songs from his recent album "The Beatitudes Project" with special guests Brothers McClurg. https://www.thebeatitudesproject.com/ Stu G is a guitarist, songwriter, producer, collaborator and an author living in Nashville, TN. Stu is best known as the guitarist for the British band Delirious?, who, for nearly two decades, penned many of the best known worship songs in modern Christendom. He was also a member of the distinguished Compassion Art songwriters collective, which also boasted heavy-hitters Paul Baloche, Darlene Zschech, Steven Curtis Chapman, and Israel Houghton. On Sunday morning (that same day) he will be speaking in our Sunday morning services at Lifespring at 9 & 10:30am. He will be talking about the Beatitudes - Jesus' sermon on the mount in Matthew 5 and how his life has been transformed by Jesus' words. The “Beatitudes Project” was conceived while sitting upon the very mount Jesus gave his famous sermon in Matthew 5. Stu contemplated the paradox of Christ’s blessing of the poor, the mournful, the meek, the hungry and thirsty, which directly contrasts the world’s standard of success. Stu saw that these Gospel virtues could fuel a prophetic movement within the Church, where believers - transfigured by God’s unconditional love and radical grace - would be holy ambassadors of divine mercy, purity of heart, and peace - willingly accepting persecution (even martyrdom) for the kingdom of heaven.
