There is great joy in being a Christian – are you celebrating God’s love for you today? Listen to Susie’s conversation with Ali Gilkeson of Rend Collective. They talk about laughter, peace, and the pursuit of joy in our faith.

“Rend Collective started as a church movement… we often felt that when you grow up in church, and went to college or university, there wasn’t much for you until you were a young married couple. We started Rend… we didn’t write our own songs, people brought their own bit of carpet to sit on… we just spent time praying and seeking God. It was an incredible time of seeking after Him and journeying through that together.”

Ali’s husband Gareth felt called to start writing and turned the group into a worship project, complete with hymns, praying, and a Jangle Stick.

Ali points out that worship is ultimately about celebration – celebrating that we are free from condemnation because of what Christ has done. “Choose celebration over condemnation!”
