Benjamin Kandt is enlivened by the vision of seeing people follow Jesus in the “double love” of God and neighbor. Toward this aim, he pastors at NewCity Church near downtown Orlando. He also works as a psychotherapist at The Kardia Center, where he helps clients to open up, be present, and do what matters on their path toward healing and wholeness. He enjoys Jesus; his lovely wife, Alana; his clinically wild son, Augustine of Orlando; and his delightful daughter, Selah Mercy. You can find him reading, writing, surfing, playing soccer, gardening, and praying the Psalms.

Seven Rivers Worship aims to combine timeless truths through liturgy, lyrics, creeds, and confessions with the beauty of God’s creativity and character through music and art that is relatable today. We believe the foundations of worship should consist of Spirit and Truth, and, in response, it should engage both the affections of our hearts and the attentions of our minds as we seek to glorify our Creator and make His Name known to our community. Our hope is that anything we offer would aid in bringing the healing love of Jesus to broken people and broken places.
