Singer, songwriter and worship leader Patrick Mayberry releases his highly anticipated, first full-length Centricity Music album, Wild Faith. The album sets a large table for everyone with untamed melodies and astute lyrics, all artfully crafted and intentionally threaded together to take listeners on a life-changing journey.
Holding the tension of both sorrow and joy, meeting listeners in the depths of their humanity, the 10-song Wild Faith also swings the doors wide open for those who are walking circles in the wilderness. With songs that can serve a Sunday worship service while also delving deeper into the human experience, the album encourages every sojourner with the truth that they're never alone.
"Anyone who has put their faith in Jesus is a son or daughter of the God of the Universe, who intimately knows them and cares about every little detail of their lives. Your biggest plans and wildest dreams for your life? God's are likely wilder, bigger and crazier," says Mayberry. "Following God can be scary, but I promise, following Him is always going to be deeper and richer and better."

Pure Passion, Gospel-Centered| Posted October 16, 2023 What You Need to Know Patrick Mayberry, signed to music label Centricity Music, experienced Christian radio success with his breakout single "Holy Spirit Come," also the title of his 2021 EP. He is following up that project by releasing his full-length studio album, Wild Faith. "Lead On Good Shepherd," a collaboration with Crowder, was released as the first single ahead of the full album and became a Christian radio hit. Wild Faith features collaborations with kalley of Bethel Music, Crowder, and David Leonard.
What It Sounds Like Wild Faith is the best of singer-songwriter storytelling influence and worship music all rolled into one. These songs can flow within the Worship ("He's Just That Good," "He Is"), Pop Contemporary ("Easy To Praise"), or Adult Contemporary genres seamlessly and appeal to fans of those styles and beyond. There are even some hints of Country/Country Rock influence here and there ("He's Just That Good," "Lead On Good Shepherd," "Wild Faith.")
Patrick's powerful vocals soar throughout this album, and you can hear the passion for God in his voice as he sings. This album has "sing at the top of your lungs" anthems and prayerful ballads. The melodies are memorable, the production feels like an extension of the worshipful passion in the lyrics, and you will find yourself singing along from the first song.
Spiritual/Lyrical Highlights
No matter what the theme of each song is, the goodness of God is front and center. I also love how rooted these songs are in the gospel message. You can't listen without your focus consistently being drawn to who Jesus is, who we are in Him because of what He's done for us, and how He works in our lives. These are songs of praise and prayer and encouragement firmly rooted in the Good News of Jesus.
The Worthy One calls me worthy/The Holy One invites me in/The God of all the universe/Has given me a name/I'll be known as this/I am His ("His")
Best Song On The Record
"His" wins best song. There's something so captivating and soul-stirring about the lyrics and Patrick's vocal performance. It's a powerful ballad about the value and identity Jesus gives us and the relationship we can have with Him, not because of our own goodness or worthiness, but because of His grace and love. This is the song to sing if you want to declare the truth that you belong to Jesus and all that means for your life.
Final Word
My goodness, I loved every moment of Wild Faith! Patrick Mayberry is a standout artist with an infectious passion for Jesus that brings his songs to life in a special way. If you need to be refreshed in your faith, encouraged by the goodness of God, and reminded who you are in Christ, listen to Wild Faith.
