Q: Bellarive isn’t just a band but a community of like-minded believers. How does this personal camaraderie help shape the songs you write?

God has the uncanny ability of reveling Himself the most in those moments of vulnerability. In those moments, it’s not about hiding from reality or keeping up the façade, it’s about recognizing your position towards God and surrendering to Him.
