'I feel like the Lord is so in it': Patrick Mayberry set to release full-length album this fall
Singer/songwriter and worship leader Patrick Mayberry never truly understood the power of worship music until he experienced it firsthand at a Passion conference. For many, Passion is a multi-day spiritual wake-up call to the things of God. For Mayberry, Passion was a transformational awakening to the intersection of faith and music.
"I grew up in a small conservative church that I didn't like very much at all," said Mayberry. "Instruments were not allowed. They were technically illegal, so it made me not like it even more because I loved instruments. I loved guitars, pianos and drums. And so I was super not interested in faith at all."
