Sixsteprecords is the label that Christ Tomlin, Matt Redman, David Crowder band and Charlie Hall are on which Loui and Shelley Giglio pretty much run...this is from an article that I red this morning that is really resonating with my soul...the whole concept of how they came up with the name for the label is truly the way to build a business, a worship team, a church, your life...very inspiring...to read the whole article go here.
Let's start this story in 1,000 B.C., when the Israelites finally figured out how to return the Ark to Jerusalem. Shelley Giglio, Director of Label Operations, recounts the tale from 2 Samuel 6:13: "It says that they went six steps, laid the Ark of the Covenant down, and then they built an altar and worshiped. Some scholars think they did that every six steps for the several miles to Jerusalem. They were so grateful they were alive—that they'd figured it out, that the glory of God was going to be back with the people of God—all that made them so worshipful that they couldn't go very far without stopping, building an altar, and worshiping." Thus the name, sixstepsrecords.
That name is a reminder to everyone associated with the label of the importance of worship. Shelley Giglio continues, "It's a reminder to me of the purpose for which we were created—that it's really wise for us to worship often, that if we're really going in life much more than about six steps before we figure out how to worship, then we've probably gone a bit too far." The label avoids capitalizing their name as a reminder that it's not about the company, but about God. And they spell their name as one word to show that they operate as a close-knit family.

Brandi, I had just gotten on to Louie's home page and read his Bio, so I had just read about this record label............for me, it confirms further, what I had commented earlier on your blog.......HE'S DOING A NEW THING!!! And, it's all about the WORSHIP!!! I think Christian music had taken a wrong turn, a turn away from the worship side of things and gone mainstream, and I think that's why it was going down hill. This team seems to understand it's, ALL ABOUT THE WORSHIP!! I can't say it enough......Thank you Lord for counting me worthy to worship you!! I'm a baby in Christ when it comes to this, but he is guiding me more and more in to his presence through my worship daily, and I understand it now!!!
I LOVE IT!!!
Thank you Lord for guiding us back to you!!!
