About this project

The last four years have been very exciting and a blessing to be able to worship with many incredible people. Over the years, its been amazing to release two full length albums, and earlier this summer, release a brand new EP called Departing From Normal.

God has truly blessed our band as we have had the opportunity of playing some incredible events with bands such as Hawk Nelson, Mercy Me, and many others. Recently, we have  received some radio airplay for our song “Letting Go”. Both the airplay and feedback has been awesome!

God continues to move and open up doors and opportunities for our ministry. Our desire is to use each of these to bring Him honor and glory. We have been requested by multiple people to finish our last EP, Departing From Normal, and expand it to create a full length record. With the opportunities and platforms that God has given us, we feel that now is a better time than ever!

Now here is where you all come in. In the past, we would tour and tour and save and save and then spend our money on a recording project. God has been gracious in allowing us to do this and keep us busy! This time, we are wanting to give Kickstarter a shot and see if you might be willing to support our ministry.  Here’s how it works. We have a goal that we have to reach, and if we don’t reach this goal, we don’t receive a penny and no one who pledges gets charged anything. In return for your gift, we have created different levels of givebacks. We have put a lot of thought into these kickbacks and hope you might see something that might seem worthy of a donation. Whether it’s $5 or $500, we have a unique kickback for you! If we are able to raise more money and pass our goal, then we will be able to make an even better record!

Everybody’s love and support through these past few years has been tremendous and we thank God for each of you. We hope that you would pray and consider coming alongside us and helping us by being a partner in this journey. If you know us already, then you know our hearts and our goal in ministry. We long to write and record songs that honor and glorify Christ. Our hope is that we can sing these songs together to worship Christ and encourage each other in our walks with the Lord.

We really believe that completing this record could open up some incredible opportunities, but more importantly, it helps us share our heart as we travel and share the good news in our community and out on the road!

We would truly love and appreciate anything you can give. Every dollar counts. The goal may seem high at a quick glance, but if 1,000 people gave $10 each then we will reach our goal. Of course, feel free to give more than $10 though!

We are excited to be on this journey and so thankful that you guys are willing to come on it with us! God Bless!

Justin Warren Teseniar

Has not connected their Facebook account.

With a passion for the church and a heart for building community, Justin has spent the last few years of his life chasing what it really means to build the Kingdom of God.
“Worship has to go beyond singing songs in a sanctuary. Somehow we’ve got to move outside our four walls and be the hands and feet of Christ”, says Teseniar.
With a strong sense of urgency and a willingness to go, Justin has been faithful to walk through the doors God has opened for his ministry, which now includes a partnership with Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and a staff position at Greystone Baptist in Durham, NC. He shares this message of hope with everyone and anyone who might hear the call. This desire has left it’s mark in the form of a new project titled Departing From Normal.
