I’m sure many of us have been to concert or stadium events before. Maybe you found some of them inspiring – or maybe you left in disgust because the sound was just not that great, or the band could not actually perform well live – even though their albums were great.

I’ve been to some amazing shows with bands like Kings of Leon, Coldplay, Passion, Israel Houghton and New Breed, Hillsong United, Justin Bieber, Usher Raymond, and Alicia Keys.

One thing with a lot of these shows is that they end up being “just a show”. However, in some cases, the artists didn’t choose the art – you could say the art chose them, and they’re using that art to point to the greatest of all artists: Jesus.

This is what comes to mind when you think about a tour like Outcry, currently playing throughout the US. This tour brings names like Bethel, Jesus Culture, Hillsong Worship, Elevation Worship, Kari Jobe, Martin Smith, and Passion together in one arena – and you also get to hear an amazing message by Brian Houston.

Here is a recap of the 2015 tour to give you a sense of the event:
