By some miracle they squeezed us into their packed schedule and facilitated an impromptu interview. After the concert, Plumb and her road manager went above and beyond the call of duty. You might be wondering what happened with that interview. The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. That they may be called trees of righteousness, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness We are beautiful and precious to Him, not because of our good deeds, but because of His perfection that He gives to us as a gift–an eternally valuable prize that He won for us on the cross and in the tomb.įor some reason it reminded me of Isaiah 61:3: It doesn’t matter what anyone says about us. When He looks at each one of us, He only sees stunning beauty. the church) through the vantage point of redemption. It went something like this: because of what Christ has done for us, He sees His Bride (i.e. We were the Body of Christ caring for each other.Īnd Mike Weaver of Big Daddy Weave had an encouraging message, which appeared to be a spontaneous word that came to him just in this particular concert. In those moments, we were no longer an audience at a concert. They organized it into an impromptu prayer meeting, and suddenly Christians who had never met each other were praying for each other and receiving prayer. Yes, exactly like that.)Īnd then a preacher came on stage and did some powerful preaching and ministering–with Big Daddy Weave supplying atmospheric instrumental music in the background–and he got the entire audience involved. (Sort of like how Major League Baseball has an all-star game, and players from different teams play together, but they still wear their team’s helmets. All three artists shared the stage through this entire section, and they essentially melded into a worship team. The second part of the concert was–to my astonishment–nothing short of a full-blown church service. (My apologies to everyone who was waiting in line behind me.) I’m pretty sure I spent about 10 minutes at the church’s drinking fountain in the foyer. This was much appreciated as I was dehydrated from that Los-Angeles-is-trying-to-kill-me traffic apocalypse. It almost felt like a magic show: one moment Big Daddy Weave is on stage, then ten seconds later Jordan Feliz appears and we’re whisked away into “The River,” and then after his abbreviated set, Plumb magically materializes, and suddenly we’re at a Plumb concert.Īnd then the concert halted for an intermission. The transitions between artists were seamless. Big Daddy Weave took the stage first, and then the band (minus lead singer Mike Weaver) stayed on stage for the rest of the night and provided the backup band for Jordan Feliz, who played second, and then Plumb, who played last. It was an amazingly smooth experience–like a party where the host has every little transition between activities pre-planned, and the evening just flows along with happy fluidity. It was not the usual routine where one artist plays and breaks down their stuff, then the next artist sets up and plays and breaks down their stuff, etc. It was a concert unlike anything I’ve experienced. We settled into our seats as the show started. I was just thankful we made it to the concert. I missed my interview with Plumb (or so I thought–more on what happened with that situation below). I had checked the traffic report before we left, but somehow missed that crucial tidbit. Unfortunately, I did not know that my beloved City o’ Angels had decided to close the 101 freeway that morning, one of the major arteries of that region, which then diverted the entire population of the United States onto the 210 freeway, where my extremely patient friend and photographer Gérald Pierre and I were driving. Get there a couple hours early and do some work at a nearby Starbucks while I wait.” Normally, that drive would take two-and-a-half hours.īut it was Friday. I was scheduled to interview Plumb before the concert and attend the meet-and-greet. They were playing at Packinghouse Christian Fellowship in Redlands, California. There we were, driving through Los Angeles on our way to see Big Daddy Weave, Plumb, and Jordan Feliz on their Beautiful Offerings Tour. ( Concert photo gallery at bottom of article.
