Ep. 27 - Daniel Hagen and Awakening Music: The Sound of a Global Movement

Release the Sound — A Podcast on Prophetic Worship

From rock N' roll to spearheading a global revival movement, the journey of my dear friend Daniel Hagen stands as a testament to the transformative power of Jesus. In our conversation, Dan and I talk about the journey of staying grounded and intimate with Jesus while leading a huge worship platform, the song that the world so desperately needs to hear, and how we worshipers are being called to the battleground. All this and so much more!

In 2003, Daniel Hagen radically surrendered his life to Jesus Christ in a powerful encounter that would shake up his world of sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. His heart was overrun with the love of God, and his songs began to overflow with his affection for the Father.

Daniel’s rock band, The Hollows, was on the verge of scoring a six-figure record deal. His love for Jesus compelled him to walk away from the life of fame and fortune and pursue knowing the Father more and making Him known to the nations.

As he fell more in love with Jesus, He began to lead teams of everyday believers out onto the streets, where they would preach the gospel and demonstrate God’s love through signs & wonders.

Daniel is the Associate Director of Awakening Australia with Ben Fitzgerald, and is the leader of Awakening Music. Awakening is now a global movement, and their events are joined by thousands from all over the world with one purpose – the nations for Jesus!

Daniel and Chelsea are happily married with four children and are the senior ministers of Fire Church ministries. Today, Daniel and Chelsea Hagen plant and oversee Fire Churches in Queensland and Victoria.
