Origin stories S3EP15 Incoming Rush

On today's show I talk with  Stephen Michael Niewind AKA Incoming Rush. 

Stephen Michael Niewind is a musician on a mission. For 16 years he has been writing, arranging, and performing music. That is over half of his life. He calls the process, “listening to God.”

“It’s not about me, “he says, “especially at a concert or an outreach. It is about making Jesus Christ more famous.”

Stephen calls his ministry, “Incoming Rush,” remembering the account of the coming of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2. The Spirit came like the sound of a mighty rushing wind.

In 16 years, Niewind has composed over 500 songs. He is not sure how it happens. He just asks God to take his pen. When the song is written, he performs it acoustically. He performs anywhere and everywhere.

He describes his genres as Christian, Gospel, Christian Based Acoustic Praise and Worship, and Contemporary. He sings with a heartfelt, soulful, gentle manner that is easy to follow and understand. He often tells stories in his songs. He puts it this way: “Bringing Spirit of message to meet the emotions of the heart.”
