Songs, Audiences, Five Loaves, And Two Fish

written by paulwrock August 29, 2018

For so many of us connecting with our audience is a huge part of our lives. We pray to see our audiences the way Jesus does, and then Jesus gives us a sense of compassion for them. We desire to serve them well. To provide teaching that impacts their lives. To create experiences they will remember. To create songs where they can hear something real truth.

However, then it seems like we never have enough time to get everything done, never have enough money to put into our music, or the resources to do everything we want. It seems like our vision is always greater than our resources. We are trying to feed a crowd with five loaves of bread and a couple of fish.

If you’ve ever felt like that, please know that Jesus cares about your crowd, and understands how you feel. One of the only stories told in all four Gospels is about Jesus feeding the Five Thousand. We know that the number only references five thousand men, so it is entirely possible the number was closer to twenty thousand people. They are hungry and not just in need of truth, but also in need of food as well. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your lack of resources, remember these three things from this story.

First, Jesus already cares for your crowd more than you ever could (Matt 14:14, Mark 6:34). In the most stressful moments of event planning remember that God has divine plans and purposes for your audience and that He knows what they need. It’s not that He shares your concerns, but instead, He is letting you share in His.

Second, God has given you resources. None of us have nothing. Sometimes all you need are fives loaves and two fish for Jesus to do a miracle. Look to see how you can best use your resources and realize that God will equip you for the thing He asks of you.

Finally, place everything God has given into His hands and watch Him meet the needs of your audience. Jesus wants to bless those attending your event and multiply your resources far beyond anything you’re capable of doing. So give it to Him. The more you put in His hands now, the more you’ll have to lay at His feet one day.

We’re all trying to do big things with small resources. Whether you’re writing songs, running a business, or finding another way to change the world, don’t give up. It’s all going to work out!!

Thanks Y’all,

Paul

    About ME

    Hey Y’all,

    My name is Paul, and thank you for checking out my website. I believe we all have a story worth telling, and this website represents my attempt to empower people to engage with the narratives they want to tell, in a powerful way.
    I hope we ultimately get to know each other from the songs writes, blogs I post, and the conversations we have, but here is a little bit about me. I am 27 years old, I live in Nashville, TN, and I love the power that music and stories hold in shaping how we live and think. I spent 10 years working in politics, I then we to work in the Christian non-profit world, and now I write music in Nashville. More than ever, I believe this world needs songs that express meaning, truth, and hope.
    God has put each of us here to change the world. I believe that we tend to experience the world with a soundtrack, and I want to write songs that help contextualize life and all the emotions that come with it. Country Music is an inherently relatable genre and gives us all the opportunity to discuss every conceivable experience in an honest way.
    I believe we all share many of the same experiences, and because of that as I tell my story in songs, I hope you find your story as well. The best songs are the ones where you feel understood, known, and you know you’re not the only person who has experienced how you feel. Our shared beliefs, passions, and desires lead to us having a shared story. That is what I hope to express in my music. This website will be a place for you to engage with my songs, and hopefully, a place for you to engage with something that relates to you as well.
    The next component will be content that will either be used for speaking or writing. In this case, I will be writing blog posts that offer my thoughts one different a variety of subjects from faith to current events. I hope that my unique perspective offers you not only insight into how a songwriter interprets life, but also the chance to wrestle with these ideas and contribute your thoughts as well.
    Finally, I would love for this website to be a place for us to connect and me to be able to help you find a way to help you tell you or your organization’s story. From messaging to building online platforms, I believe you have a story worth telling, and I would love to help you tell it. Whether you’re the president of a company looking to engage your customers or an artist looking to build a fanbase, I would love to talk have a conversation with you about who you are, why you’re here, and how I can help you achieve your dreams.
    Thanks again for reading this. I can’t wait to get to know you more. Sign up for my weekly newsletter, find me on social media, message me on Facebook, Instagram, or email me here, and let’s be friends.
