Victory House Worship, the collective worship ministry of Atlanta's Victory Church, is declaring that God still heals with its new live single, "Rapha." Inspired by the biblical name Jehovah Rapha-"the Lord who heals"-the faith-filled anthem emerged from decades of prayer and remarkable testimonies involving physical healing, leukemia and freedom from suicidal thoughts. In this exclusive interview, the collective discusses how Victory Church's congregation of more than 140 nationalities shapes its Revelation 7-inspired sound, why faith must remain anchored in God's character even when healing appears delayed, and how "Rapha" launches a monthly series of releases leading to a 14-song live album in spring 2027.
Q: For readers who are just discovering Victory House Worship, who makes up the team, and how did this worship collective come together at Victory Church?
Victory House Worship is the collective worship ministry of Victory Church in Atlanta. We are worship pastors, worship leaders, songwriters, musicians, and creatives serving across the five campuses of our local church throughout the greater Atlanta area.
The collective came together as a unifying expression of our house. Before we were ever focused on releasing music, we were simply writing songs for our church and paying attention to what our people loved to sing. Victory House Worship really grew out of that - a desire to give voice to what God was already doing in our local church.
Q: Victory Church brings together people from more than 140 nations. How does that cultural diversity shape the music Victory House Worship writes and the way you approach corporate worship?
Reconciling Cultures is one of the four foundational pillars of Victory Church. Because our congregation is such a unique picture of cultural diversity, we believe our worship expression has to find its voice among and from the people themselves.
For years, before ever considering recording an album, we wrote and led songs in our local church. Over time, a pattern began to emerge around the songs that resonated most deeply with our people.
Revelation 7 became an anchor Scripture for us. John describes a great multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language gathered before the throne, crying out together in a loud voice to the Lamb. We believe we are uniquely positioned to develop a worship expression that reflects that picture.
We often say that the sound of Revelation 7 isn't found in a lead vocal or a particular instrument - it's found in the sound of God's diverse people singing together.
So our aim is to write and lead songs that help a church representing more than 140 nations lift one voice to Jesus. Ultimately, the songs our church sings loudest to the Lamb are the songs we choose to record and release.
Q: Your new single, "Rapha," centers on the biblical name Jehovah Rapha-"the God who heals." What inspired the song, and was there a particular experience or season that gave birth to its message?
Prayer for healing has been part of the fabric of Victory Church for decades. In virtually every service, we create space to pray for people and call upon Jehovah Rapha - the Lord who heals.
Over more than three decades of ministry, our church has witnessed and documented many remarkable testimonies of healing. So Rapha wasn't really born out of one isolated experience. It was born out of the ongoing story of our house - years of praying for the sick, standing with people in difficult circumstances, and witnessing God move in ways only He can.
This song simply gives language to something our church has believed and declared for a long time: He is still willing. He is still able. And nothing is impossible for Him.
Q: Healing can mean many things-physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual. When people sing "Rapha," what do you hope they understand about God as healer and restorer?
More than anything, we want people to understand what God has revealed about Himself in Scripture. God calls Himself Jehovah Rapha - "the Lord who heals." That isn't a name humanity assigned to Him; it is a name He revealed about Himself. Whenever God tells us something about who He is, we want to lean in and pay attention.
We believe God is still willing and still able to heal. Healing isn't merely something we read about in Scripture as a story of the past. We believe Jesus still heals today, and we have witnessed that reality in our own church.
We've heard testimonies connected to moments of worship and prayer involving physical healing, freedom from suicidal thoughts, leukemia, and more. At the same time, our faith isn't ultimately rooted in a particular outcome - it's rooted in the character of God.
Our prayer is that Rapha would stir faith again in people who have become afraid to ask, weary from waiting, or discouraged by what they see. We want people to bring the diagnosis, the disappointment, the unanswered question, and the impossible situation to Jesus and remember who He has revealed Himself to be: Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals.
Q: Victory House Worship describes its mission as creating a "reconciled musical expression of the Kingdom for the King." What does that mean to you, and how does it influence the songs you write and lead?
For us, that phrase is really an extension of Revelation 7. The Kingdom of God is bigger than any one culture, musical style, generation, or tradition. Scripture gives us this incredible picture of every nation, tribe, people, and language gathered around one throne, worshiping one King.
We want our music to give a glimpse of that reality here and now.
"Reconciled" means we aren't simply trying to place different musical styles next to each other. We want to be a people who have genuinely been brought together in Christ, allowing the stories, cultures, sounds, and faith of our local church to shape a shared expression of worship.
And "for the King" keeps the entire thing centered. Diversity isn't the destination; Jesus is. The beauty isn't simply that every nation is represented - it's that every nation is gathered around the same throne singing together.
That shapes everything from how we write songs to who leads them and, ultimately, which songs we choose to release. Our goal is to create music that sounds like our house while pointing beyond our house to the Kingdom and the King.
Q: With "Rapha" now released, what is next for Victory House Worship? Can listeners expect more new music or a larger project in the near future?
Rapha is really just the beginning.
In June 2026, our church gathered to record 14 new songs that have been resonating deeply in our house. Rapha is the first of those songs to be released, and we'll continue releasing new music monthly as we move toward the full live album release in spring 2027.
We're incredibly excited about these songs, but even more than the releases themselves, we're excited about what we've already watched God do through them in our church. Our hope is that what was born in our house can now serve the wider Church - giving people songs to sing to Jesus and language for what they believe about Him.
