When it came to naming their new album, the five men who comprise Big Daddy Weave hardly had a choice. The new album all but named itself: Every Time I Breathe.

More than a call to worship, their latest project is a call to life. With Every Time I Breathe, Big Daddy Weave surrenders all that they have, and joyfully admit it is not enough. “We finally realized it is not the greatness of our offering, but it is the greatness of the God we are offering to that makes the difference,” says singer/guitarist and primary songwriter Mike Weaver. “It is not the greatness of our songs, but it is the greatness of the God behind the songs. When the little boy showed up with two fish and five loaves, it was so not enough; but that is exactly what Jesus used to feed everyone. The reason our offering seems insignificant is because it is. But God is not looking for our significance. He is looking for our availability.”

Heartfelt words from one of the most popular bands in Christian music. Indeed, “One and Only,” the group’s 2002 debut release quickly cracked SoundScan’s Christian Top 5 and Big Daddy Weave was rewarded with a Dove Award nomination for New Artist of the Year. “Fields of Grace,” Weave’s follow-up, was a stunning display of pure power pop from a band chomping at the bit to get their new songs down on tape. On their third outing, “What I Was Made For,” the group battled the elements as Hurricane Ivan ravaged their homes. But even in the midst of the storm Mike Weaver says he experienced a fresh outpouring of God’s grace and presence. It wasn’t until it came time to write for Big Daddy Weave’s fourth album that the inspiration dried up.
