Philippians 2:13
Pure worship can be found in many places, and Ben Fuller provided that aspect in Rocky Mount, Virginia to a fully-filled church. Ben has been on a steady rise in his music and growth as a man of God, and he does not shy away from sharing the details behind that. Whether that be through his powerful, surreal lyrics, or through his testimonials, he is drawing people into what a glimpse of forgiveness looks like when given by God. Authentic worship is something that is needed, and Ben delivered on “The Black Sheep Tour”.
Franklin Heights Church quickly filled with people of all ages and demographics, which further proved how much people are seeking Jesus in a way that resonates. This was the perfect show to find Him, through music and community. Band Reeves, a country duo composed of brothers, drew everyone in with country songs that pointed everything to the Lord, which was a wonderful surprise, as that is truly needed in the Christian music world. The sponsor of the evening, Eight Days Of Hope, was also a welcome addition to the show, as they shared insight to their mission in helping rebuild from disasters and trafficking. You can read more about them, and how to support them, HERE.
Shortly after Band Reeves gathered everyone’s attention with their fun southern drawl, and Eight Days Of Hope gathered support for relief, Ben Fuller took to the stage and immediately gave everything to God. Ben is known for songs such as “If I’ve Got Jesus”, “Deeper Still”, and “Turn”, all of which are filled with vulnerable lyrics that anyone who is struggling (everyone) can find relatability and relief in. Ben has an undesirable past that he does not try to hide, but rather shares freely, in hopes that someone listening can hear themselves in it, and realize that they too can find a new life through Christ. Ben stated “This is church, not a concert.” Everyone was taken to church this evening, and Jesus was there.
Ben played a number of collaboration songs, including “If It Was Up To Me” which features Carrie Underwood, and “Prove A Thing” which features CAIN. He also played some classic bluegrass-style songs like “You Are My Sunshine” and “Angel Band”. The latter was a special performance, as he shared a heavy story about his friendship with the late Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down. Ben spoke about how he was invited to perform this song at Brad’s celebration of life, and it was clear that played a role in his coming to know Christ. Ben shared such vulnerability, the type that makes you want to sit, cry, and embrace the goodness of God with him. He concluded the evening with a chilling acoustic version of “Black Sheep”, followed by “Who I Am”. God was present at this night of worship, for every single black sheep in attendance.
