Tauren Wells Special | Joy in the Morning | June 10, 2022
- - Hey, what's up everybody?
- 00:01:29.222 --> 00:00:00.423
- It's Tauren Wells here, and I am so excited
- 00:00:00.423 --> 00:00:04.327
- to be sharing brand new music with you.
- 00:00:04.327 --> 00:00:07.430
- I have a brand new album called "Joy In The Morning,"
- 00:00:07.430 --> 00:00:11.501
- as well as several videos that we've made
- 00:00:11.501 --> 00:00:15.305
- just to inspire, and impact, and encourage you.
- 00:00:15.305 --> 00:00:18.608
- I want you to walk away from our time together
- 00:00:18.608 --> 00:00:21.411
- really feeling a great sense of hope
- 00:00:21.411 --> 00:00:24.514
- that God has something in store for you, for your life,
- 00:00:24.514 --> 00:00:28.718
- and that your story is possible.
- 00:00:28.718 --> 00:00:31.121
- There's dancing, there's singing, there's worship,
- 00:00:31.121 --> 00:00:34.624
- there's ministry, and there's a whole lot of fun
- 00:00:34.624 --> 00:00:38.027
- wrapped up in this 30 minutes of music.
- 00:00:38.027 --> 00:00:41.431
- I hope you love it as much as I do.
- 00:00:41.431 --> 00:00:44.834
- (upbeat music)
- 00:00:45.201 --> 00:00:55.645
- Everything is coming together so nicely.
- 00:00:56.513 --> 00:00:58.615
- About to be crazy.
- 00:00:58.615 --> 00:01:01.417
- When I was beginning the process of writing this album,
- 00:01:02.519 --> 00:01:05.722
- I sat down with a co-writer and a close friend,
- 00:01:05.722 --> 00:01:09.225
- Pastor Steven Furtick.
- 00:01:09.225 --> 00:01:11.027
- We were in the writing room.
- 00:01:11.027 --> 00:01:13.029
- I spent a few days in Charlotte with him and Chris Brown,
- 00:01:13.029 --> 00:01:16.799
- and we just started talking and, you know,
- 00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.402
- in these writing sessions, a lot of people wonder,
- 00:01:19.402 --> 00:01:22.005
- what's it like when you're writing a song?
- 00:01:22.005 --> 00:01:24.307
- Well, it's pretty conversational,
- 00:01:24.307 --> 00:01:26.309
- just catching up about life
- 00:01:26.309 --> 00:01:28.211
- and I was just sharing some of the things
- 00:01:28.211 --> 00:01:30.013
- that I've personally been struggling with.
- 00:01:30.013 --> 00:01:32.315
- Just trying to figure out how do I bring
- 00:01:32.315 --> 00:01:35.618
- all of myself into everything that I do.
- 00:01:35.618 --> 00:01:39.622
- Pastor Steven said something very liberating for me.
- 00:01:39.622 --> 00:01:43.526
- He said, you need to feel the freedom
- 00:01:43.526 --> 00:01:45.728
- to bring your whole self into this project.
- 00:01:45.728 --> 00:01:48.331
- At this moment, I can't think of a time
- 00:01:48.331 --> 00:01:51.501
- where a message is more important.
- 00:01:51.501 --> 00:01:54.204
- It all goes back to this scripture.
- 00:01:54.204 --> 00:01:56.206
- "Weeping may endure for a night,
- 00:01:56.206 --> 00:01:58.508
- but joy comes in the morning."
- 00:01:58.508 --> 00:02:00.610
- So if you've been walking through some dark days,
- 00:02:00.610 --> 00:02:03.313
- some dark months, some dark years,
- 00:02:03.313 --> 00:02:06.015
- I want to encourage you today
- 00:02:06.015 --> 00:02:08.017
- that there is a horizon before you,
- 00:02:08.017 --> 00:02:10.720
- that the sun is gonna rise,
- 00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:12.422
- and that there is still hope for your future.
- 00:02:12.422 --> 00:02:15.024
- Let's get into it.
- 00:02:15.024 --> 00:02:16.326

- (upbeat music)
- 00:03:20.423 --> 00:03:23.359
- - The first song that we released
- 00:03:24.027 --> 00:03:25.428
- from this new collection on this album,
- 00:03:25.428 --> 00:03:28.431
- "Joy In The Morning," is a song called "Fake It."
- 00:03:28.431 --> 00:03:31.701
- If you've heard it, you've probably already danced to it,
- 00:03:31.701 --> 00:03:34.604
- you've turned it up in your car,
- 00:03:34.604 --> 00:03:36.205
- you've put it on your workout playlist.
- 00:03:36.205 --> 00:03:38.608
- The thing about this song that makes it so important to me
- 00:03:38.608 --> 00:03:42.912
- is that there are layers to understand beneath these lyrics.
- 00:03:42.912 --> 00:03:47.417
- I've really learned this
- 00:03:47.417 --> 00:03:48.718
- through my relationship with my wife.
- 00:03:48.718 --> 00:03:51.521
- The more vulnerable I am, the more I put myself
- 00:03:51.521 --> 00:03:55.725
- in a place to be well loved.
- 00:03:55.725 --> 00:03:58.428
- Now, let me unpack that a little bit for you
- 00:03:58.428 --> 00:04:01.130
- because I'm a dude, and I don't really like sharing
- 00:04:01.130 --> 00:04:04.901
- a lot of my emotions, my feelings.
- 00:04:04.901 --> 00:04:08.004
- I like to make it look like I've got it all together,
- 00:04:08.004 --> 00:04:11.607
- I'm unflappable, but the truth is a lot of times
- 00:04:11.607 --> 00:04:15.211
- if we're honest, there's a lot happening
- 00:04:15.211 --> 00:04:17.814
- beneath the surface of what we project.
- 00:04:17.814 --> 00:04:21.517
- And a lot of times, if we try to bury those things,
- 00:04:21.517 --> 00:04:25.421
- we don't allow anyone access to them.
- 00:04:25.421 --> 00:04:28.524
- And if we don't allow Jesus access to the things
- 00:04:28.524 --> 00:04:32.128
- that are happening beneath the surface,
- 00:04:32.128 --> 00:04:34.731
- then we don't put ourselves in a position
- 00:04:34.731 --> 00:04:36.799
- to be loved, to be healed, or to be set free.
- 00:04:36.799 --> 00:04:41.504
- The gospel gives us permission to feel.
- 00:04:41.504 --> 00:04:45.108
- Jesus demonstrated this more than anyone else, really.
- 00:04:45.108 --> 00:04:49.612
- He went to the garden of Gethsemane.
- 00:04:49.612 --> 00:04:51.614
- He wept, he asked God if there was a way
- 00:04:51.614 --> 00:04:55.818
- that these circumstances can change, please change it.
- 00:04:55.818 --> 00:05:00.723
- He felt it.
- 00:05:00.723 --> 00:05:02.425
- When he was on the cross he said,
- 00:05:02.425 --> 00:05:04.527
- "Father, why have you forsaken me?"
- 00:05:04.527 --> 00:05:08.231
- He was expressing a feeling
- 00:05:08.231 --> 00:05:10.299
- of hopelessness and helplessness
- 00:05:10.299 --> 00:05:12.802
- that he hadn't experienced before.
- 00:05:12.802 --> 00:05:14.904
- When we look at Jesus approaching the tomb
- 00:05:14.904 --> 00:05:17.907
- of Lazarus, his friend, we see that he doesn't
- 00:05:17.907 --> 00:05:22.211
- just perform a miracle immediately.
- 00:05:22.211 --> 00:05:24.914
- He stands and he weeps with the women
- 00:05:24.914 --> 00:05:28.418
- weeping over the brother and the friend that they lost.
- 00:05:28.418 --> 00:05:32.422
- See, Jesus is big enough and powerful enough
- 00:05:32.422 --> 00:05:35.825
- to perform miracles, but he's also
- 00:05:35.825 --> 00:05:39.228
- in tune enough with humanity,
- 00:05:39.228 --> 00:05:42.031
- that he knows how to sit with us in our feelings.
- 00:05:42.031 --> 00:05:46.803
- And so this song "Fake It" talks about the fact
- 00:05:46.803 --> 00:05:50.406
- that we don't have to fake our feelings.
- 00:05:50.406 --> 00:05:53.009
- We don't have to fake our faith.
- 00:05:53.009 --> 00:05:55.711
- A lot of us put on a facade called religion,
- 00:05:55.711 --> 00:05:59.715
- and we use this facade called religion to hide the fact
- 00:05:59.715 --> 00:06:04.420
- that maybe our love for God has grown cold.
- 00:06:04.420 --> 00:06:09.125
- We go through the motions, we go through the rituals,
- 00:06:09.125 --> 00:06:11.327
- but we wonder what's the point of it all.
- 00:06:11.327 --> 00:06:14.831
- The truth is, Jesus is not afraid of you
- 00:06:14.831 --> 00:06:18.201
- bringing that place to him, those feelings to him,
- 00:06:18.201 --> 00:06:23.606
- those experiences to him, and he meets us there.
- 00:06:24.607 --> 00:06:27.510
- We don't have to fake it.
- 00:06:27.510 --> 00:06:29.512
- I've spent a lot of my life trying to keep up appearances,
- 00:06:29.512 --> 00:06:33.416
- trying to put on the facade, keep the show going.
- 00:06:33.416 --> 00:06:36.719
- Well, the gospel lets me know the show is over.
- 00:06:36.719 --> 00:06:39.922
- That I am loved, that I am accepted,
- 00:06:39.922 --> 00:06:42.325
- and that Jesus died and paid the price
- 00:06:42.325 --> 00:06:45.328
- for me to be authentic.
- 00:06:45.328 --> 00:06:47.330
- And that's why I don't have to fake it,
- 00:06:47.330 --> 00:06:50.299
- and you don't have to fake it either.
- 00:06:50.299 --> 00:06:53.035

- 00:09:35.831 --> 00:09:57.353
- (upbeat music)
- 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:02.692
- - Woo! I told ya!
- 00:10:03.125 --> 00:10:05.728
- We was gonna get it just a little bit today.
- 00:10:05.728 --> 00:10:09.131
- That Fake It video was so much fun to make.
- 00:10:09.131 --> 00:10:12.401
- We actually shot that in Los Angeles, California.
- 00:10:12.401 --> 00:10:15.705
- I worked with an amazing choreographer, Alexander Chung,
- 00:10:15.705 --> 00:10:20.309
- who has an amazing story of faith actually,
- 00:10:20.309 --> 00:10:23.212
- and I worked with an incredible producer on it, Raj Kapoor.
- 00:10:23.212 --> 00:10:27.316
- He produces the Grammys and all of these types of things.
- 00:10:27.316 --> 00:10:30.419
- Just an amazing time of coming together.
- 00:10:30.419 --> 00:10:34.490
- The next song we're gonna talk
- 00:10:35.124 --> 00:10:36.425
- about is a song called, Come Home.
- 00:10:36.425 --> 00:10:39.829
- This is probably one of the most important songs
- 00:10:39.829 --> 00:10:43.999
- on the album, Joy in the Morning.
- 00:10:43.999 --> 00:10:45.901
- I think as believers, we have to take an honest look
- 00:10:45.901 --> 00:10:49.905
- at where we're at in the world.
- 00:10:49.905 --> 00:10:52.608
- How the church is doing in the culture.
- 00:10:52.608 --> 00:10:54.610
- How we are relating to God and relating to one another.
- 00:10:54.610 --> 00:10:59.515
- When I set out to create this particular body of work,
- 00:10:59.515 --> 00:11:04.754
- I thought if music is such
- 00:11:05.321 --> 00:11:06.622
- a powerful vehicle to move people,
- 00:11:06.622 --> 00:11:09.024
- I wanna move people toward God
- 00:11:09.024 --> 00:11:11.026
- and I wanna move people toward each other.
- 00:11:11.026 --> 00:11:14.130
- We can't forget that when Jesus summed
- 00:11:14.130 --> 00:11:16.999
- up all of the commandments of the old Testament.
- 00:11:16.999 --> 00:11:20.903
- He said this,
- 00:11:20.903 --> 00:11:22.404
- "Love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, mind
- 00:11:22.404 --> 00:11:24.707
- and strength and love your neighbor as yourself."
- 00:11:24.707 --> 00:11:29.912
- Everything that we do as believers revolves around love.
- 00:11:31.013 --> 00:11:35.084
- Now, if you were to step back
- 00:11:35.718 --> 00:11:37.219
- and evaluate the church as a whole from its inception.
- 00:11:37.219 --> 00:11:41.624
- We would have to honestly look at it
- 00:11:41.624 --> 00:11:44.226
- and say some really terrible things
- 00:11:44.226 --> 00:11:47.530
- have been done in the name of God.
- 00:11:47.530 --> 00:11:50.299
- There have been some religious
- 00:11:50.299 --> 00:11:53.102
- abuses of power...
- 00:11:53.102 --> 00:11:55.604
- in the name of God.
- 00:11:55.604 --> 00:11:57.907
- And I think it's important for us as believers
- 00:11:57.907 --> 00:12:00.609
- to own the fact that sometimes church people,
- 00:12:00.609 --> 00:12:05.214
- hurt people.
- 00:12:05.214 --> 00:12:06.415
- I know I love the church.
- 00:12:06.415 --> 00:12:08.717
- I'm a product of the local church.
- 00:12:08.717 --> 00:12:10.619
- I started in the local church,
- 00:12:10.619 --> 00:12:12.721
- sang my first solo at nine years old.
- 00:12:12.721 --> 00:12:15.424
- It's the place that I discovered my gifts and my talents.
- 00:12:15.424 --> 00:12:19.829
- I'm so grateful for it
- 00:12:19.829 --> 00:12:21.931
- but I also know what it's like to be hurt by church people.
- 00:12:21.931 --> 00:12:25.601
- We cannot evaluate the heart of God based on
- 00:12:25.601 --> 00:12:30.005
- some of the shortcomings of his people.
- 00:12:30.005 --> 00:12:34.009
- Jesus knew this better than anyone.
- 00:12:34.009 --> 00:12:37.112
- He was crucified by the people he came to save.
- 00:12:37.112 --> 00:12:40.616
- He came to save the house of Israel
- 00:12:40.616 --> 00:12:43.619
- and it was the house of Israel that voted for him
- 00:12:43.619 --> 00:12:47.223
- to be hung on a cross.
- 00:12:47.223 --> 00:12:49.692
- So Jesus knows what it means to
- 00:12:50.326 --> 00:12:52.228
- be left for dead by church folks.
- 00:12:52.228 --> 00:12:55.231
- But he also gives us an amazing example
- 00:12:55.231 --> 00:12:58.400
- that we all have to get to in our hearts.
- 00:12:58.400 --> 00:13:01.904
- At the pinnacle of betrayal,
- 00:13:01.904 --> 00:13:04.506
- at the height of what it means to be
- 00:13:04.506 --> 00:13:07.710
- rejected by people in his crucifixion,
- 00:13:07.710 --> 00:13:12.047
- Jesus speaks these words,
- 00:13:12.615 --> 00:13:14.516
- "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."
- 00:13:14.516 --> 00:13:19.788
- Well, what if the people who are hurting people
- 00:13:20.723 --> 00:13:24.727
- had been hurt?
- 00:13:24.727 --> 00:13:26.195
- What if the people who were responsible
- 00:13:27.029 --> 00:13:30.099
- for some of these wounds in the body of Christ were wounded.
- 00:13:30.099 --> 00:13:34.603
- The same thing that it takes to heal my wounds
- 00:13:35.504 --> 00:13:38.307
- is the same thing that it takes to heal theirs.
- 00:13:38.307 --> 00:13:41.710
- And that is grace and forgiveness.
- 00:13:41.710 --> 00:13:44.313
- So whether you are on the fringes of faith,
- 00:13:44.313 --> 00:13:49.118
- wondering how you get back home,
- 00:13:49.118 --> 00:13:51.820
- or perhaps you're doing some heart evaluation right now
- 00:13:51.820 --> 00:13:55.524
- in realizing maybe there are some things
- 00:13:55.524 --> 00:13:57.726
- in your life that you need to bring to Jesus.
- 00:13:57.726 --> 00:14:00.729
- There's good news.
- 00:14:00.729 --> 00:14:03.032
- The father stands with open arms running toward us,
- 00:14:03.032 --> 00:14:07.202
- waiting for the moment that our hearts turn toward him.
- 00:14:07.202 --> 00:14:11.206

- - [Tauren] I'm pumped about this next one.
- 00:18:30.899 --> 00:18:32.801
- This is really the crux of the entire album,
- 00:18:32.801 --> 00:18:36.605
- Joy in the Morning when you're an artist
- 00:18:36.605 --> 00:18:38.807
- and you're putting together a body of work,
- 00:18:38.807 --> 00:18:41.210
- you're deciding what you want to talk about
- 00:18:41.210 --> 00:18:43.212
- for the next two years.
- 00:18:43.212 --> 00:18:45.314
- So it was important for me to land on something
- 00:18:45.314 --> 00:18:48.016
- that I knew would bring life, hope and inspiration.
- 00:18:48.016 --> 00:18:51.119
- And that was Joy in the Morning.
- 00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:53.722
- There has been so much trauma
- 00:18:53.722 --> 00:18:56.625
- that we have all experienced collectively.
- 00:18:57.526 --> 00:19:00.028
- We've experienced it all together,
- 00:19:00.028 --> 00:19:02.931
- but there's also been trauma
- 00:19:02.931 --> 00:19:04.199
- that we've experienced individually.
- 00:19:04.199 --> 00:19:07.002
- And sometimes we use what's happening
- 00:19:07.002 --> 00:19:10.806
- in our circumstances right now
- 00:19:10.806 --> 00:19:13.408
- to shape what we believe about forever.
- 00:19:13.408 --> 00:19:16.712
- If we're hurting now, we'll hurt forever.
- 00:19:16.712 --> 00:19:20.315
- But because of the grace of Jesus Christ,
- 00:19:20.315 --> 00:19:22.117
- because of the gospel,
- 00:19:22.117 --> 00:19:23.619
- we actually get to flip this whole script.
- 00:19:23.619 --> 00:19:27.723
- We get to change our perspective.
- 00:19:27.723 --> 00:19:30.125
- We get to use what we know about forever,
- 00:19:30.125 --> 00:19:34.029
- to inform
- 00:19:34.029 --> 00:19:35.631
- how we feel about right now.
- 00:19:35.631 --> 00:19:38.367
- I know that my forever is an eternity with Jesus,
- 00:19:39.401 --> 00:19:43.572
- because my forever is with Jesus.
- 00:19:44.306 --> 00:19:46.908
- That means I'm going to experience overwhelming peace.
- 00:19:46.908 --> 00:19:50.712
- I'm going to experience unconditional love.
- 00:19:50.712 --> 00:19:54.116
- I'm going to experience the joy and the goodness
- 00:19:54.116 --> 00:19:57.619
- that flows from the glory of God forever.
- 00:19:57.619 --> 00:20:02.124
- Paul understood this.
- 00:20:02.624 --> 00:20:04.326
- He was wrestling with something in the here and now.
- 00:20:04.326 --> 00:20:07.529
- He said he had this thorn in his flesh.
- 00:20:07.529 --> 00:20:10.899
- He prayed over and over again for it to be removed.
- 00:20:10.899 --> 00:20:14.503
- And yet it was never removed.
- 00:20:14.503 --> 00:20:16.605
- And then Paul gives us the key
- 00:20:16.605 --> 00:20:19.608
- to living a life fulfilled here
- 00:20:19.608 --> 00:20:22.511
- and fulfilled eternally.
- 00:20:22.511 --> 00:20:24.513
- And it's this.
- 00:20:24.513 --> 00:20:26.014
- He said, "I consider that my present suffering
- 00:20:26.014 --> 00:20:30.018
- is not worthy to be compared to the glory
- 00:20:30.018 --> 00:20:34.022
- that is to be revealed."
- 00:20:34.022 --> 00:20:36.024
- He was saying that what I am missing in the here and now
- 00:20:36.024 --> 00:20:40.962
- what I am struggling with in the here and now
- 00:20:41.830 --> 00:20:45.100
- can't even compare to what I am going to enjoy
- 00:20:45.100 --> 00:20:49.504
- forever with Jesus.
- 00:20:49.504 --> 00:20:52.607
- The same is true for us.
- 00:20:53.108 --> 00:20:55.410
- One day we will step
- 00:20:55.410 --> 00:20:57.012
- across the threshold of time, into eternity.
- 00:20:57.012 --> 00:21:01.216
- We will step out of suffering, into healing.
- 00:21:01.216 --> 00:21:05.220
- We will step out of brokenness, into wholeness.
- 00:21:06.221 --> 00:21:09.825
- We will step out of disappointment,
- 00:21:09.825 --> 00:21:12.027
- into the fulfillment of everything our soul has longed for.
- 00:21:12.027 --> 00:21:17.232
