The Heart of Music: Kaégan Talks Faith, Creativity, and Connection

Take A Leap Hosts interview Christian musician Kaégan about faith, songwriting, and purpose. Kaégan, raised by worship-pastor parents, says his love for God and music grew in church and that as a quiet pastor’s kid he began using songwriting to help others feel included and consider Jesus. He explains his song “Water” reflects giving his life to the Lord at six and learning that life changes suddenly while God’s promises remain, shaped by losses like his grandfather in 2018. He describes a lyrics-first creative process, finishing songs when no edits remain, and influences from Steven Curtis Chapman, for KING & COUNTRY, U2, The 1975, and Coldplay. He discusses co-writing, Bible reading, community, social-media detox, and trusting God, previews “Stronger,” and advises seekers to trust God with their lives.
