In a time of global uncertainty, Saddleback’s worship team was tasked to create an album. They accomplished this by being available, available to what the Holy Spirit wanted to say and do in and through them. The resulting album “Alive & Well,” touches on three themes: 1. Light in the midst of darkness. 2. Finding our home in Christ, not a physical building and 3. The idea that God is alive and well, that we are alive in Christ especially in a season of intensified loss.
