Help carry Scripture farther.

The first release is Songs for the Hardest Hour, EP 1: Help Right Now — five Scripture-memory songs for people facing recovery’s hardest moments.

But the campaign is bigger than one EP.

We are looking for people who will listen, share, start a share page, introduce us to ministry leaders, and help Vanguard Verse carry Scripture into real moments of life.

A gift helps create the music. A share helps us find the right people. An introduction may open a door we could never open on our own.

This is how disciple-makers help carry Scripture farther.

The campaign has two tracks working together: Scripture-memory music is created and released, and disciple-makers help carry it into new circles.

How this campaign carries Scripture farther

In simple terms: listen, share, start a share page, introduce us to the right people, and help fund the first release.

Start a Share Page

Givebutter calls it a fundraiser page. We think of it as a share page. It gives you your own link so you can help introduce Vanguard Verse to people who may care.

Your first step can be simple:

Give $25.
Share the campaign.
Invite 10 people to look at it.
Introduce us to a pastor, recovery leader, counselor, sober-living ministry, reentry program, donor, or family affected by addiction.

Start a Share Page

Listen First

Before you give, share, or start a share page, listen.

You can also visit: https://vanguardverse.org/whats-up

The page asks what is heavy right now and plays Scripture set to music for that moment. Then, if someone comes to mind, share it with them.

Why recovery?

Help carry Scripture into recovery.

The craving hour.
The shame hour.
The sleepless hour.
The hour when a person feels alone, trapped, afraid, or ready to give up.

In those moments, the meeting may be over. The counselor may be gone. The phone may be the only companion.

And music is already there.

Vanguard Verse is creating Scripture-memory songs designed to help the Word of God be heard, remembered, and retrieved when the hardest hour comes.

When the hard hour comes, the Word is already there.

What We Are Building

We are building the first recovery-focused Vanguard Verse release:

Songs for the Hardest Hour, EP 1: Help Right Now

Songs for the Hardest Hour, EP 1: Help Right Now

Five Scripture-memory songs:

Psalm 50:15 | God Delivers in Trouble — Call Upon Him
1 Corinthians 10:13 | God Is Faithful in Temptation — The Way of Escape
James 4:7–8 | God Provides Freedom — Draw Near to Him
John 8:36 | Jesus Sets His People Free — Free Indeed
Hebrews 4:15–16 | Jesus Knows Our Weakness — Come Boldly

Give, Share, or Introduce Us to Someone

This campaign is about more than raising money.

We are looking for the people who care about carrying Scripture into real life — people who will listen, share, start a share page, introduce us to ministry leaders, and help fund the first release.

A gift helps create the music.
A share helps us find the right people.
An introduction may open a door we could never open on our own.

How Your Gift Helps

Your gift helps Vanguard Verse create, refine, produce, and release Scripture-memory songs.

That includes Scripture selection, lyric shaping, production, review, cover art, streaming release, playlist organization, and ministry partner materials.

Each song becomes a permanent resource that can be listened to freely, shared easily, and carried into real moments of need.

The vision

Imagine someone awake at 2:00 a.m.

Phone in hand, fighting the old pull.

Instead of the same old playlist, the same old trigger, the same old spiral, Scripture begins to surface.

A verse about escape.
A verse about mercy.
A verse about freedom.
A verse about peace.
A verse about a new name.

That is what this campaign is helping build.

Part of a Larger Vanguard Verse Vision

Vanguard Verse is more than a music release. It is part of a larger Scripture publishing effort focused on helping the Word of God be heard, remembered, and retrieved in real moments of life.
The ideas behind this work are being developed through writing, music, and ministry resources including It Is Written, It Is Written and Heard, and We Are Misreading AI.
The recovery EP is one practical expression of that larger vision: Scripture carried through music into the moments when people need it most.

Help carry Scripture into Recovery.

One song at a time. One EP at a time. One hard hour at a time.
