The Getty’s – Christmas Heard Round The World

“So many people today learn their faith through the words they sing. Deep songs create deep believers,” says Keith. “We live in the most exciting generation in history for Christians. In twenty years, the Bible could be in every single language in the world. It’s really a phenomenal state of transformation, but it’s imperative that we take our faith into our communities. So much of that takes place in the local church. I heard someone say once that they stopped going to church because it didn’t do anything for them. We don’t go to church because it does something for us. We go because we are called. I need 21-year olds and 61-year olds and 13-year olds to ask questions. I need 2-year olds with kind eyes. We need each other. It’s part of our privilege and calling to be part of that family.”

And just as they do within their own family, the Getty’s are bringing Christmas family-style, global-style to the rest of us, embracing the rich heritage of those who have come before and celebrating the impact they have on us today.

“The performance numbers on this tour are just masterpieces,” says Keith. “These great Christmas hymns are the absolute masterworks of the church. In the same way modern Western civilization holds up impressionist art, so too are these great songs. Like great art, they have transported themselves seamlessly throughout generations and cultures. They have become classics and have infiltrated every part of society. You’re privileged in this life to get to sing them.”
