Josh White | BEC Recordings
In 2009 Josh White took a huge leap of faith. The former
lead singer for the band Telecast became a church planter and worship leader in
Portland, Ore. His church, Door of Hope, is located in the Hawthorne District,
a bohemian part of the city.
The songs on Achor were written for the church and used
in its worship services. White explains that the music style reflects “the acoustic,
folk music of Hawthorne. It’s a mix of folk and bluegrass in worship, almost
like a Jesus movement folk worship revival.”
White’s edgy voice delivers songs with the theme of seeking
an intimate relationship with Christ. “If you forget the foundation of knowing
Christ personally, you can be super involved in a great cause but the gospel
becomes lost. Everything comes from the foundation of knowing Christ
personally; it’s about that relationship,” White says.
“This is about moving beyond just acceptance of Christ. This
is about being truly moved by the cost of discipleship and holy living. The
record is focused on the possibility of deep intimacy with Christ and the idea
that God can still surprise us.”
