Passion 2016 Uncut Version 2021 Direct

In 2016, the "Uncut" footage and audio existed only as internal hard drives at sixstepsrecords. In 2021, following the rise of long-form content on YouTube and the demand for immersive worship experiences during lockdowns, sixsteps officially licensed the full raw audio to a new archive series.

But the defining moment of Passion 2016—the moment that would lead to the demand for an "uncut" version—was the impromptu, extended rendition of "What a Beautiful Name." When the official Passion 2016 Live Album was released later that year, it was a polished masterpiece. Mixed by industry veterans, the album captured the sonic energy of the event but condensed three-to-four-hour worship sets into digestible, radio-ready tracks. Songs faded in and out. Between-song prayers were edited down. Spontaneous moments of prophecy or extended instrumental jams were trimmed for time. passion 2016 uncut version 2021
