Hello friends,
Sometimes you plant seeds and wonder if they'll ever grow.
A year before the last election, we stood on the Kennedy Center stage with a full choir, orchestra, and fellow artists Jim Caviezel. That night we debuted Under The Tree of Life—our album of sacred music that puts ancient prayers and holy Scripture into beautiful musical settings. The arrangements are the magnum opus of our father, Bill Wolaver, and the power is palpable.
Jim's voice filled that grand hall as he spoke religious poetry and sacred readings. The evening wasn't just a concert. It was a prayer lifted up for our nation and world, both caught in deep turmoil.
Now, over a year later, something feels different.
The new administration announced the Kennedy Center will no longer host drag shows but will instead celebrate Jesus at Christmas. Podcasts buzz with stories of young people returning to church. Even prominent atheists like Ayaan Hirsi Ali are finding faith.
For the first time in years, it feels like the wind might be at our backs. Under The Tree of Life releases later this year, but first we're heading to Scotland this August to promote the album. Historic venues. The renowned Edinburgh Festival. Places where our sacred music will find its voice.
While we're there, we'll film the visual companion to this album—videos set in beautiful churches that will carry these words to audiences around the world. The Lord's Prayer set to music. The Prayer of St. Francis. St. Paul's writings on love from 1 Corinthians 13.
Timeless truths for a world that desperately needs them.
Generous partners have brought us halfway to our Scotland goal. We need the other half to make this vision reality.
Will you help us complete what we started on that Kennedy Center stage?
Faithfully,
Annie
