Karen: Who is Will Reagan and the United Pursuit? Id love to share: Well, to me, they are a group that write and sing worship songs whos lyrics and sound penetrated a dark, disturbed, lost, and trapped man. In my addiction, a friend introduced me to it and I believe God used his music to reach me. I cried to his songs as I sang and listened to his words...all the while having some dope in both hands, figuring out how Im going to use and preserve as much as I can to better my high and make it last longer and a drink ready at will before me. United Pursuit gave me a song that I sang that became my prayer which I cried over and over again to...and which ultimately proved to be a prayer that The Lord answered with grace. They sing the songs that I rejoiced to as God began pulling me from the pit of despair. They sing the song that I cried out to when the pain yet still remained even after giving up such a huge part of my life. They sing the song that I cried to when my world turned upside down when I found out about the pregnancy of a girl I had hooked up with yet had no interest in and only threated the worst to me and my family after pregnancy was discovered, songs I cried to God out of repentance for my sins. They hold a song I blasted in my room, volume turned all the way up through surround system, curled up in a fetal position, a pool of tears as my bed; a song that I must have played over 500 times in my 5 days of straight isolation in my room at the onset of this life-changing news; they hold the songs that give me hope and strength and reason not to give up and toss the towel in for good, whether in straight relapse or straight suicide. They hold the songs that I held on to to remind me that God was good, that He would make everything new, that He was making something beautiful out of me, that He would fill me up again if I gave it all to Him, that I could trust Him even when nothing made since to me. They hold the songs in which the Lord spoke to me when I heard them and gave me hope and reminded me of all the truths for my eyes could not read Gods Word through the blurriness of the waterfall of tears that were flowing from my eyes and I could not remember any scripture because I was so weak and new in the Word and my mind, being so bleak, could do nothing but think of the unimaginable, straight horror. United Pursuit holds the songs I listened to the moment I heard of Claudes death and allowed me to rejoice in my King when all of earth and purpose of going on seem to give way; in the moment of unspeakable pain, United Pursuits songs allowed me to keep my eyes fixed on Jesus, not giving into my own desires and into temptation. They hold the songs that I go time and time again to remind me of the misery I once was in and remind me of the reality of the truth of what God has done and how He has answered prayers. They are the group that played the song I played in memory of Claude at Tanners Beach this past year and are the group whos album I played on the back porch of Tanners Beach and listened, rejoiced, and wept to as Jordan sat next to me and Todd sat on the other side. They are the group that if I had to pick anyone I could visit or talk with, it would be them simply because of the impact theyve made in my life, by Gods grace. Will Reagan and the United Pursuit, awesomely enough, is the group that I go to worship with every Tuesday night because God has purposefully put them here in Knoxville, 30 minutes away from where God has brought me. They are the group that I have invited Moriah to come to each and every week because I get so much out of it and I want others to experience it as well. Will Reagan and the United Pursuit are a worship group who are all about worshipping Jesus and Gods glory and devoting themselves every Tuesday night to provide a place of worship for the people around Knoxville to go to free of charge. They are a group that travels less than 4x the average of what other worship groups do simply so they can provide for the Knoxville people. They are group that arent about them but about God. Will Reagan and The United Pursuit are a worship group who, without them (unless God of course would have willed it another way and used another means to reach me), I would not be here today. They are my favorite group of people who make music. They are a group that, Lord willing, will play at my funeral. This is just a Little bit of who Will Reagan and The United Pursuit group are...to me at least. We, as a group of people, can have different taste in music I suppose but hopefully, you and everyone else I know can know a little bit about them for they have meant so much to me and impacted me more than any. Heres a song that was my prayer that starting in my act of addiction:
