It’s been a long road for Charlie Hall. A path that has resulted in a lot of letting go, of discovering who he’s meant to be as a man, a musician and-most importantly-a worshipper of God.
Since 1991, Charlie has been traveling, songwriting, and sharing life with people in his home of Oklahoma City, and across the United States, and even across several oceans. He is counted among the many talented and often short-statured Passion collective of visionaries.
Over the last decade, Charlie Hall has become both a renowned worship leader and a voice for the lost, the broken, the unlovely. He’s back with a triumphant new record, The Rising, his fifth sixstepsrecords release, an album “about movement toward God and God’s movement toward us.”
This theme, he says, “encompasses my last two years—putting some difficult things behind and moving toward life and hope and faith and embracing God in every situation.” Those difficult things include “a few really rough years of marriage” that found Hall “wrestling through it and watching God heal and bring a lot of redemption to my marriage.”
“I learned so much about how to love my wife, as well as so many pictures of Christ’s love and embrace of us,” he says. “Just taking someone as they are and loving them like that, not trying to control that, but letting them bloom inside your love for them.” Echoes of his own brokenness and struggle, and the grace that’s met them, have always been a defining trait, and part of the appeal of his music.
Passion and sixstepsrecords founder Louie Giglio says, “Charlie Hall’s passion to make the journey of worship and the healing found in Christ accessible to people inside and outside the walls of the Church is beautifully displayed on The Rising. This new collection of songs is not only musically alive and fresh, it oozes from its core the timeless message of the one who raises and restores our lives.”
