In Murphy's pursuit to experience God in a fresh way, a way that had yet to manifest in the circle that he had grown up in, he began exploring other forms and expressions of Christian Music.

"I stumbled upon many recordings by brothers and sisters that did not look like me, didn't sound like me and did not come from my culture. They were white, black, hispanic, asian, baptist, charismatic pentecostal and from corners and circles that I hadn't even heard of, but yet they were operating in a realm of worship that I so longed for and to be perfectly honest, I needed!"

Murphy explains that God spoke to him clearly and said, "...I've given different gifts and talents to certain ethnic groups and cultures that compliment one another, so that one group can never suggest that they don't need the other. I've purposely given gifts that are only pieces to a Kingdom puzzle. Your assignment now is to act as a bridge."

"Denominations have been used to provide us with the time and opputunity to heal, to become and to discover that we are not the whole," says Murphy. "Denominationalism has allowed us to grow strong individually, only for the purpose of uniting, but the season to be seperate has expired and we are now living in 'the Kingdom' hour."

Murphy continues to explain that "synergy and unity are necessary to the success of the Gospel crossing the globe and the Body of Christ being all that God has ordained and purposed her to be."
