There's no debate on whether social media contains negative influences, yet many kids, teens and adults still spend a good part of every day scrolling and absorbing. SPARK is dedicated to sharing the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ through our platform, including providing positive content on social media. PLEASE SHARE "WONDER" & HELP US REACH 10K VIEWS ON YOUTUBE BY JULY 1ST.  

Keith Lionel Brown, lead writer for www.MormonMusic.org shared the following: "I have seen the wonder of God in my life as I share my God-given gifts to bring joy to others. I will cite just two examples. I have always had a love for the scriptures and a passion for for teaching. Over the years, I have been blessed to combine both as I have served as a teacher in several capacities at church including serving as a gospel doctrine teacher. Nothing gives me more joy than to share my knowledge of God's word and to witness His wonder as people in the class begin to understand His word as perhaps they have never understood it before. 

I am also blessed as I listen and learn from the comments that are made about how people liken the scriptures to themselves. I have also been blessed to express my thoughts through writing. With the use of words I'm able to use a blank sheet of paper as my canvas and words as my paints to create art that people from near and far have expressed their appreciation for. One way I have been able to do this is by being the lead writer of a website called Mormon Music. I have been blessed to see the wonder of God at work in the lives of people both near and far that have expressed their gratitude for the site and share how the music that is featured touches their lives." -Keith Lionel Brown​

​​I have seen the wonder of God in my life in so many ways! I have felt His love for me so strongly, especially through some of my hardest trials. I know he's there for us and that he loves all His children! -Jaxon Moffitt

It's here!!! We're so excited to release our newest music video WONDER! The wonder of God is around us everywhere. I see it in nature, I see it in friendship, I see it in music, I see it in families. How have you seen the wonder of God in your life? -Camille Tullis​

"I see the wonder of God in my life by those simple peaceful reassurance moments that remind me I am a daughter of God & He has a plan for me. I love this video & the message it shares... How do you see the wonder of God in your life?" -Noelle Bybee

"So excited about our new music video 'Wonder!' This amazing song has such a great message and Noelle Bybee killed it! Enjoy and share this awesome message of the wonder of God." -Ryan Johnson ​

"I see the world in light. I see the world in WONDER! I see the wonder of God in His children. Every individual is so complex in their passions, gifts, and trials. Everyone has a strong likeness to their Heavenly Father and it is beautiful to see that develop as they choose lives of light. Love any human deep enough and you will learn to see the face of God." -Melissa Whitehead ​

"I have seen the wonder of God in my life as he has taken a damaged, broken, and imperfect me and molded me into someone and something that can bless others’ lives through Christ’s atonement. His love gives me hope, meaning, freedom, and purpose. I see God’s wonder all around me as I see the gospel giving people’s lives new meaning, and as I see people coming together, putting aside their differences, forgiving one another’s trespasses, and glorifying God by loving and serving one another. I see his wonder as he takes all of our pain, defects, guilt, and past experiences and makes it into something beautiful. His wonder and love are all around us. I see the world His way and I’m not ashamed to say so." -Greg Wright ​

"I’ve seen the wonder of God in every aspect of my life! I’m so grateful for his everlasting love and beauty that He bestows upon us. So excited about this new music video! I’d love it if you’d watch it and share it if the message speaks to you!" -Angelina Whitehead

"I love this group. Sharing their talents always with positive messages and centered on the teachings of Jesus Christ. It is refreshing to see young adults sharing their light." -Christine Pinkston @JordanJamesSinger 

"This [video] is proof that there is still good and beauty in this wonderful world!! So grateful that Jaxon has the opportunity to be an ambassador of hope and goodness with these beautiful people!!" -Ruth Moffitt

​"Another amazing music video by Spark. One of the many WONDER's I see in the world is the innate goodness in everyone. All are born with the Light of Christ, and deep down, everyone wants to love and be loved. Everyone."  -Doug Whitehead

"You guys are great! Thanks for being awesome role models!" -EastonShane @EastonShaneMusic

On this Father's day (and every day), we wish this kind of joy for all of our fathers and for our Father in Heaven!

​Our new music video ties into this scriptural theme and gives a bold testimony of truth and the new perspective we gain when we find Christ and begin to walk in His light.

​Throughout the song titled "Wonder," the question is asked: Have you ever seen the wonder? The song goes on to describe many of the ways that the wonder of God is manifest in our lives. Our amazing dads are among the greatest wonders/blessings in our lives and this video is dedicated to each of them: Scott Butler, Doug Wright, Destry Bybee, Rodney Moffitt, K.C. Johnson, and Doug Whitehead!

THANK YOU FOR TEACHING US TO WALK IN LIGHT & TRUTH! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
WE LOVE YOU!

Details of interest about the video:

• The soloist is group member, Noelle Bybee, who is a former contestant on NBC's The Voice, Season 8 and a returned missionary for the LDS Church. In the video you'll also see glimpses of Noelle's husband, Mason Woodward, also a returned missionary for the LDS church, and a football player for the U. They were married in March 2018. (See http://www.sparksingers.com/blog/noelle-masons-royal-wedding)

• SPARK filmed the music video in Utah in beautiful Snow Canyon and surrounding areas. While in St. George, the group performed on Tuacahn's Plaza Stage before the David Archuleta concert in April (clips of the performance are featured in the video). 

• The song in the video is called WONDER by Hillsong United. It gives a bold testimony of truth and the new perspective we gain when we find Christ and begin to walk in His light. 
• WONDER has special meaning for SPARK because we are creating a movement for all ages to rise up in faith and be a light to the world. This movement is called #BETHESPARK and details can be found on the website www.sparksingers.com.

• The #BETHESPARK movement ties in with the recent challenge given by LDS Church President Russell M. Nelson: "Stand out; be different from the world. You and I know that you are to be a light to the world." https://www.lds.org/…/worldwide-devo…/2018/06/hope-of-israel
