~ The songs found on When the Light Comes all encompass a deep and personal faith in Jesus. Yet while it’s one thing to sing about trusting God in the midst of trials, the five members of Big Daddy Weave – Mike Weaver, Jay Weaver, Jeremy Redmon, Joe Shirk, and Brian Beihl – have each learned what it means to truly live by faith and to trust in a God who makes all things new.
As a band well-known for honest songs that tell personal stories of freedom in Christ, fans have long admired the group for their honesty and openness, such as “My Story,” “The Lion and the Lamb,” and “Redeemed,” cementing them as one of the most beloved bands in Christian music. But while creating the project, the group was working from an unfamiliar place, as the inspirational and uplifting themes found in the group’s music were desperately needed by the members themselves.
