Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham traveled the country in 2023 and 2024 as part of their Summer Worship Nights Tour, featuring their award-winning music and their testimonies about Christ’s power. Fans who missed the tour or want to relive it can do with the tour documentary For the One, featuring highlights and the stories behind the music. “Yes, we want [fans] to be entertained, but we want them to walk out better than they came in," Lake said.

Lake and Wickham talk about their tour documentary "For the One," which releases in theaters on October 27th and 29th.
