Since 1991, Charlie has been traveling, songwriting, and sharing life with people in his home of Oklahoma City, and across the United States, and even across several oceans. He is counted among the many talented and often short-statured Passion collective of visionaries (1). Known to some as "Poppa," (2) and known to many in Delhi, and McLeod Ganj, India, as "the strange bearded man with the tall bodyguard..." (3), Charlie has created several albums of diverse music throughout his pilgrimage as a singer-songwriter/worship leader. The latest collection of songs is called Flying Into Daybreak, and it captures many personal, and communal themes that Charlie, and the fellows in the band are trying to espouse and live out, among their local communities, the Church, and with one another. Renewing and encouraging local churches, engaging young and old with social justice action, widening hearts to see God at work in the whole world, spurring local artists on to imaginative and creative expression, and offering songs of rest to those who are simply tired are some of the hopes of Charlie, and his band of gypsies (4). As many of the Passion collegiate gatherings were recorded live, Hall was quickly dubbed "a voice" for the Passion movement, performing on all eight Passion albums, which have sold well over one million units. While this accomplishment is a welcome honor, Charlie hopes to work beyond the old models of success, without spurning the community who has embraced him and his songs (5). Charlie expresses the desire to be "honed into God, where I'm not part of a culture where I'm trying to make the people around me think, 'Hey, that's a good Christian.' I'm just trying to pursue God and not pursue being accepted into a club...I'm more honed into my pursuit of God in Christ and how he's forming me and changing and helping me love him and know him." For those who have grown up with his antics in Oklahoma City (6), whether playing dodgeball with a violent vigor, or witnessing his interpretative dancing, they know his heart to see the Church loved from without and within, and to simply love those who may feel burned out, abandoned, disowned, or orphaned. With imagination, the grace of God, and a desire to have heart-level conversation and interaction, Charlie is on a pilgrimage to the heart of the Father. He welcomes you into the music of that journey.
