Lives Depend On It.

LIVES DEPEND ON IT

written by Trinity Anderson

Imagine this: glancing from the stage, the first person you see is a wife in the front row. She’s kind of tucked off in the corner doing her best to just have a moment with God. Most people don’t know it, but her marriage is in shambles. A look to the other side, this guy is laid prostrate at the altar, but service hasn’t even started yet. It definitely resembles the woman with the issue of blood pressing in to get to Jesus. There’s a young adult in the back corner. He’s completely new to the faith, totally lost in how to do life right, but he’s a total music junkie and keeps coming only because there’s a cute girl inviting him. Lastly, you can’t forget about Pastor. He just called during soundcheck to say that a couple flew in from another country to-day on their absolute last dime. They sold everything to get here and they’re believing God to be healed in our atmosphere, so we must posture ourselves in worship accordingly. No pressure at all... Meet Lives Depend On It. ®️!

My name is Trinity Anderson. I’m a singer, songwriter, entrepreneur, and most importantly, worship leader for quite a few years now. I’ve been privileged to lead others in worship from the platform. From that place, I get the most unique and vulnerable perspective of seeing into a tiny scope of the lives of others that the congregation doesn’t get to see.

Lives Depend On It. ®️ was actually not planned at all. Smack in the middle of the above scenarios, add an engagement break up to the list. I could’ve folded, but worship was still my first priority and will always be. Therefore, the original phrase “Lead Worship Like Lives Depend On It.” became an anthem of encouragement for me personally to continue going forth in worship. Little did I know, God was planning to echo it to the world.

The design started with a Word Art app on my phone, then became my screensaver. I decided to make it a phrase on a coffee mug for my voice students as an incentive, but that idea fell through because there wasn’t enough funding to invest. While randomly walking through the mall one day, the Lord led me to a T-shirt print shop and honestly, the rest is history... these tees have even out-traveled me!! God loves to do cool things.

The bottom line and heart of this organization is stemmed from one word: COMPASSION.

Jesus walked the Earth and no matter what trials He faced, even up to the Cross, He always put the needs of others before His own. We can never be more like Him than when we live and lead from that perspective. So, that’s what this entire organization is about— ministering life to others through all that we say and do.

My prayer is that this organization serves as a consistent reminder for every person, and especially Believers, to show the love of Jesus by living and leading like “Lives Depend On It.” ®️
