Ryan Ellis’ debut self-titled album is a breathtaking introduction to his own redefinition of worship. Harking back to his pop and R&B influences while evoking the sunny vibes of his hometown of San Diego, he explains, ‘These songs were written in a season where I was really discovering the grace of God and His kindness, patience, and mercy. When I was a worship pastor living in Isla Vista, California, the goal behind our ministry was to show that it doesn’t matter where you are or what stage of life you’re in -- there’s always going to be the grace and love of God waiting for you. He always accepts us exactly where we’re at and walks alongside us. I feel like these songs show what it is to be a believer and how we’re called to walk and love people.’
