The worship duo Shane & Shane is telling worship leaders to relax and ignore the pressure they’re feeling to go above and beyond on Easter Sunday.
Their suggestion: return to simplicity and reliance on the Holy Spirit.
Shane Barnard told The Christian Post, “You can let the pressure just go away because, at the end of the day, it is completely up to God.”
Adding, “At our worst, He does His best. When the power goes off, there’s nothing there but people and the Holy Spirit of God.”
For over two decades, Shane Barnard and Shane Everett have been creating music together, collaborating with other chart-topping artists, including Michael W. Smith, David Crowder and Keith and Kristyn Getty to create some of today’s most-loved worship songs.
The Dallas, Texas-based duo is passionate about creating scripturally sound, God-glorying music — and equipping the next generation to do the same.
They’re also behind The Worship Initiative, an online platform designed to support and equip worship leaders and musicians with resources that foster a deep, scriptural foundation in their ministry. The initiative seeks to counteract the issue of biblical illiteracy among worship songwriters by encouraging the creation of music deeply rooted in Scripture.
Barnard and Everett began working on the project nearly a decade ago.
