For the One – Rewind #1

This time on Biblical Rewind, I’m diving into something a little different—a documentary-meets-worship experience that’s less “concert footage” and more “spiritual fire starter.” For the One, now streaming on Amazon Prime, captures the 2024 Summer of Worship tour with Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham. But don’t expect a typical concert movie. This isn’t just lights, music, and crowd shots—it’s a front-row seat to the heartbeat behind the songs, the mission behind the tour, and the Savior behind it all.

From the title alone, you know what this film is about: Jesus. Every lyric, every prayer, every mile traveled—it’s all For the One. And that’s not just a catchy phrase. It’s the theme that echoes throughout the movie: “For the one who saved us and the one who is lost out there.” That’s the fuel behind Brandon and Phil’s ministry, and it’s what makes this film more than entertainment—it’s a call to worship and a call to action.

I’ll be breaking this documentary down into a few posts, each with reflection questions you can use for personal devotion, family time, or group study. Whether you watch the movie solo or with your church crew, there’s plenty here to spark conversation and deepen your walk with Christ.

Now, I didn’t get to attend the 2024 tour (still kicking myself), but I did catch the 2025 show in Cincinnati—and wow. Just wow. The energy, the worship, the unity between these two artists—it was like stepping into a praise party that heaven itself was hosting. What sets their concerts apart is how they perform together. No one headliner—just two worship leaders sharing the stage, singing each other’s songs, and lifting up the name of Jesus in harmony. It’s electric. It’s joyful. It’s unforgettable.

Let’s talk about the movie itself. It kicks off with prayer—because of course it does. What better way to begin than by inviting God in? We get a behind-the-scenes look at the crew and artists before the lights go up. Phil and Brandon gather everyone to pray, confess, and even take communion together. It’s not just a team—it’s a brotherhood. The kind of fellowship that reminds you what church is supposed to feel like.

One moment that really stuck with me: Phil Wickham opens up about how he’d been distracted by numbers—followers, ticket sales, crowd sizes. It’s a vulnerable confession, and it’s powerful to see how he used that conviction to refocus on Jesus. It’s a reminder that even worship leaders aren’t immune to the pull of performance over purpose. But grace steps in, and the spotlight shifts back to the One who deserves it.

Brandon Lake shares how Christian concerts changed his life as a kid—and now he’s out there doing the same for the next generation. You can’t help but imagine the ripple effect. How many young hearts are being stirred toward Jesus because of these nights of worship?

The first few songs in the movie set the tone: Brandon’s “Praise You Anywhere” kicks things off with high-octane joy, followed by Phil’s “Joy in the House of the Lord,” which keeps the celebration rolling. Then comes “Graves into Gardens” by Brandon and Elevation Worship—a powerful anthem that had the crowd’s hands raised and voices soaring.

Want to go deeper? I’ve got you covered. I’ll be posting a series of devotionals that pair with the songs from the movie. Each one includes reflection questions, prayer prompts, and space to process what God might be saying through the music. Whether you’re watching the film or just listening to the playlist, these devotionals are designed to help you connect with Jesus in a fresh way.

So grab your Bible, queue up For the One, and let’s worship—not just with our voices, but with our hearts, our questions, and our conversations. Because this isn’t just a movie. It’s a movement. And it’s all For the One.
