Chandler Moore and Naomi Raine have announced that they’re stepping away from Maverick City Music — and I’m sitting here processing it. Two of the voices who helped define modern worship are now choosing new chapters, and there’s something bittersweet and hopeful in that.
Chandler called it a “God-led transition” after years of pouring into the collective. He said Maverick was something he poured his heart into, so saying goodbye feels like letting go of a child. But the dream hasn’t changed — he’s stepping into a season where his story, his voice, and his purpose can stand on their own.
Naomi shared her side too. After much prayer and reflection, she said it’s time to walk in the calling she feels individually. Being part of Maverick changed her life — what began with folks singing in a shed grew into something she could never have imagined. She emphasised: this is not an end, but a new beginning.
I’m thankful for all they gave through Maverick — the songs, the worship, the doors they helped open. And as they move into what’s next, I’m excited to see what each will birth. God’s not done yet.
