Alive & Refresh Events
An Alive & Refresh event is a special time of intimate prophetic worship that I’d love to share with you and your friends. Picture gathering in your living room, on your deck, or in your garden, with just me, my keyboard, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. I absolutely love sharing the songs He gives me in these cozy, personal settings—it creates a unique atmosphere where people can hear directly from the Father and experience His love in a very intimate way.
You might be wondering, “How can I host an Alive & Refresh event?” Well, it’s easier than you think! Hosting an event like this is simple, fun, and a wonderful way to support independent musicians and ministries. I’ve put together a few handy tips below to help you bring this time of prophetic worship to your home!
How do I plan this thing?
One of the things I love most about events like this is how low-stress they are! All you need to do is reach out to me and ask if I can come to your city. Chances are, it’s a place I’ve always wanted to visit but haven’t had the opportunity to—until now! Once we agree on a date, we’ll finalize the details, like start time and a few simple logistics. Then, you can spread the word by creating a Facebook event or sending out emails to your friends and network.
You don’t need to worry about providing food for these gatherings. The focus is on creating a space for people to connect with God and hear from the Holy Spirit. If you'd like, you can provide bottles of water for your guests, but that’s entirely up to you. It’s all about making room for ministry and allowing God to move in a peaceful, distraction-free environment.
I don't have a big house.
Can I still host an Alive and Refresh?
Absolutely! You don’t need a big house to host an Alive & Refresh event. Any space where you feel comfortable gathering a few friends will work perfectly. In fact, a smaller group is often ideal for these intimate, prophetic worship times. It’s all about creating a space where people can connect with God and each other, so don’t worry about the size of your home—your heart and hospitality are what matter most!
What can I expect for the evening?
Casual Arrival and Fellowship: People have time to arrive and settle in without feeling rushed. Those first 30 minutes give space for people to connect, greet each other, and ease into the environment.
Unstructured Worship Time: The worship itself will be open-ended, allowing for a natural flow based on how people feel led. Prophetic worship often emphasizes responding to the moment rather than sticking to a strict plan, so musicians might linger on certain songs or lyrics that feel impactful.
Spontaneity and Freedom: Expect some improvisation, whether in the music, prayers, or spoken words, as people feel led by the Spirit. This creates a unique experience, where each gathering may have a different focus or flow.
Extended Worship (One Hour or More): Because it’s about responding to the movement of the Spirit, the length can vary. The music may go on as long as it feels genuine and uplifting to the participants.
Personal and Communal Engagement: People will likely feel encouraged to engage in worship as they feel moved, whether that’s singing, praying, or simply soaking in the atmosphere.
The overall tone should be peaceful and open, focused on fostering a sense of community and connection with God. It sounds like it will be a memorable and refreshing experience for everyone involved!
I really don't want strangers in my house.
This can be a homeowner’s primary concern.
You are interested in hosting something but don’t want it to be listed as a public event. No problem! Simply keep the Facebook invite private. Usually, we’ll post it as a “Private Alive & Refresh Event” listing on our calendar page. Sometimes someone will ask if they can attend the event. We will always ask you first if it is ok to pass your address on to this interested person. If you’d rather keep it a closed event, then no problem. It’s your house and we totally respect and honor that wish.
Does it cost money to host an Alive and Refresh event?
There is no set fee to host an Alive and Refresh! This is a ministry, and while there’s no required cost, donations are always appreciated to help cover any expenses and keep the ministry going. Giving is also a wonderful way to support artists like myself in making music and ministry sustainable.
Typically, the host will set out a basket or a designated spot for contributions, allowing anyone who feels led to bless the ministry with a gift. Every bit makes a difference, and I’m truly grateful for the support!
