“Knowing Christ & Making Him Known” was written from a simple but powerful conviction: faith was never meant to be private. It was meant to be lived, shared, and passed on.

At Catalyst Church in Bentonville, Arkansas, the phrase Knowing Christ and Making Him Known isn’t just a slogan… it’s a mission. It captures the heart of what it means to follow Jesus: first to truly know Him in a personal, life-changing way, and then to allow that relationship to naturally flow outward to others.

This song was born out of that same heartbeat.

The lyrics reflect the journey of someone whose eyes have been opened by grace, rescued, forgiven, and made new, and who can no longer keep that transformation to themselves. Knowing Christ changes everything. And once you’ve experienced that kind of mercy and freedom, sharing it becomes less of an obligation and more of a calling.

Throughout the song, there’s a sense of movement and purpose… going across the street or across the sea, wherever God leads. It’s a reminder that making Christ known doesn’t always require a microphone or a platform. Sometimes it’s found in everyday conversations, quiet obedience, and living out faith with confidence and love.

At its core, “Knowing Christ & Making Him Known” is both a declaration and a prayer:

  • A declaration of what Christ has done

  • A prayer that we would never keep it to ourselves

My hope is that this song encourages believers to reflect on their own walk with Christ… to deepen their relationship with Him, and to step boldly into the opportunities God places before them to share His love.

Whether you’re part of Catalyst Church, another local church, or listening from somewhere far away, this song is an invitation…
Know Him deeply and make Him known faithfully.
