Hillsong Young & Free is the youth worship team at Hillsong Church. A team of young people, we represent the heart of a wider, global youth family filled with individuals who’ve found forgiveness, salvation, joy and hope in Jesus Christ. Our songs are the overflow of grateful hearts and express the life we’ve found in our Saviour. More than a label, Young & Free is also our message and mission, as we seek to point to others to the freedom they too can find in Jesus and encourage them to stand strong in their youth and live His love.

He talks about how he loves the vehicle of song as a non-confrontational way to evangelize, the start of Young & Free, and how his worship and mission have always been intrinsically linked. He also speaks on their latest album All Of My Best Friends (Acoustic) — in particular "As I Am" and how it’s meant to express the inclusivity of God’s love. Young & Free is marked by a youthful and wild energy, but Aodhan reminds us that you don’t have to be young to connect with their music. All you need is a youthful spirit that God says we all have through Him. Listen now on The Worship & Technology Podcast! Read More
