History

By

Far Beyond Rescue started as an exchange of ideas between two impassioned and musically inclined believers. After a couple of conversations exploring a unifying and relevant worship platform, the concept became a nagging itch in the back of Aaron Robert's mind despite years of other varied musical endeavors. Finally, he came back to the idea and began to contemplate.

Aaron called on a diverse and motley group of local musicians with equally different backgrounds. Because the hymn texts have already been written, the focus of his efforts is the musical depth of the project. Though the overarching genre is rock, the arrangements feature a large palette of sounds, ranging from intimate to epic.

Without the foundational work of artists such as Kevin Twit, Derek Webb, Sandra McCracken, Greg Thompson, Brian T. Murphy, et al., Far Beyond Rescue would not be a reality. Borrowing inspiration from these and other sources, Aaron's goal is to engage, invite, and challenge the worshiper to present a rich offering to the Lord.

The job offer, and most importantly of all 5. An opportunity to trust in Grace. My attitude initially was very poor. I did not expect to be offered employment, and as a matter of fact, I had actually planned on such a contingency, so as not to be disappointed. Thus far, I had chosen to disregard the Savior's provision and lovingkindness in favor of another attempt at control. Having not interviewed for several years, my skills were quite rusty. Thankfully, the hiring manager was not overly seasoned, and God brought me favor during the interview process. In what seemed like a dizzying blur, the int

Keep it to Yourself

Once upon a time, I heard that if I didn't have anything nice to say, then I shouldn't say anything at all. It seemed logical enough. I certainly appreciated, I thought, living in a realm of silence rather than negativity. What I couldn't see, however, was the seeping, wispy black cloud sneaking steadily through a crack in the door. I bought into the idea and it allowed a slow yet constant stream of grossness to flow into my space. With silent darkness as their incubator, the lies began to take shape and grow. Though their development was subtle, there were several points along the way when I was startled by the inundation. Spores gave way to ground cover, which gave way to small foliage, which eventually became a forest so thick that I could barely distinguish what was right in front of me. The problem, you see, was not that I wasn't saying anything nice. Rather, it was that I had become confused as to what nice was. That word had gotten thrown into a tumultuous sp
