The Worship Initiative is a collective of worship leaders and songwriters based in Dallas, TX. Initially founded by Shane & Shane as an online equipping resource for worship leaders and churches, it has since grown into a thriving community of singers, musicians, songwriters, and theologians seeking to help the Church worship God with music that is artistically compelling and scripturally sound.
Shane & Shane is the combination of solo artists Shane Barnard and Shane Everett. After meeting in college, Shane & Shane began writing songs and touring the country leading worship. Over 15 years later, they're writing more music than ever, with no intention of slowing down. Their desire has always been to glorify the Lord instead of themselves and they do so by writing music that is biblically based, lyrically rich, and sonically engaging. Check out their discography!
Over the past few years, Shane & Shane have dedicated their lives to encourage and equip worship leaders and their teams through an online resource called The Worship Initiative. The Worship Initiative is an equipping ministry and a collective of worship leaders that, over the past few years, has grown into a thriving community in and of itself.
Davy Flowers was born and raised in Houston, Texas and after being away for over 15 years is back as a worship minister, songwriter, and resident artist at The Worship Initiative in Dallas, TX. She carries a passion to see lives radically impacted by experiencing the presence of God and the reality of His love. Over the years, her music has been inspired by her journey of being made whole and alive by the very intimate care and love of the Father. Flowers' music is an infusion of her story of healing and triumph through her friendship with Jesus. As a result, her heart's desire is to write music that connects broken and weary hearts with the heart of a loving and personal God.
Today, you can typically find Davy with an instrument, book, or journal in hand, on a running trail, spending time with her people, or belting down the hallways.
