“Living in a different country, I felt overwhelmed, and there were moments I wanted to give up. I listened to Joe's song almost every day. It reminded me who God is and who He says I am, and helped me fight the lies I was believing. Thank you, Joe.”
Child
rough mixLuis's story is the why. Countless people are quietly fighting discouragement, isolation, fear, and the temptation to give up. Joe believes these songs can meet people in those honest places — reminding them who God is, who they are, and that freedom and joy are still possible.
From conviction to release
Joe Lammers
Over the past year, Joe created this project in collaboration with award-winning songwriters and producers Jason Ingram and Jonathan Smith. He felt called to release it independently — free to protect the message, move with integrity, and steward the songs as an offering to the Lord.
The music is complete, and promotion could begin within the next few months. Partnership will help build a competitive campaign through storytelling, visual content, digital marketing, publicity, and audience development.

A twelve-month independent release campaign
The music is complete. This working goal funds the professional campaign needed to carry it beyond Joe's existing relationships and place it in front of the people it was created to serve.

Become a partner

One clear goal2 × $15,000 + 4 × $10,000 + 6 × $5,000 = 12 partners / $100,000
Founding Partner
$15,000
2 spots
Underwrites a full creative area of the campaign. Founding partners are closest to the release and hear from Joe first.
Impact Partner
$10,000
4 spots
Funds a major piece of the twelve-month plan — a music video, or the paid media that carries a song past Joe's existing relationships.
Studio Partner
$5,000
6 spots
Covers a meaningful block of content, publicity or growth work. Six studio partners together fund nearly a third of the campaign.
Not at one of those levels? Most people won't be — and a monthly rhythm at any size is what carries a twelve-month campaign.
Give monthly, or any amount
The campaign runs twelve months. So does a monthly partnership — that steadiness is what lets Joe plan rather than hope.
Apple Pay, Google Pay, card — secure checkout by Stripe. Change or stop your monthly partnership any time.
What a partner receives
- Quarterly updates on the release and where the songs are reaching
- Early previews of the music before it is public
- Prayer notes from Joe as the campaign unfolds
- An invitation to a private listening
Prefer a bank transfer, check or Venmo?
Some partners prefer to give outside a card. Any of these work, and they count toward the same partnership levels.
- Bank wire, Bill Pay or ACH
- Best for the partnership levels. One time or monthly — email Joe and he will send account details directly.
- Check
- Email Joe for a mailing address.

Straight answers
Is this a tax-deductible donation?
No. Creative partnership payments are made directly to Joe Lammers and are not tax-deductible charitable contributions. Joe chose to release independently rather than through a label or a nonprofit, so partnership is exactly what it sounds like — coming alongside the project, not a charitable gift.
Do I receive ownership or royalties?
No. Partnership provides no ownership, royalties, repayment, or creative control. The songs remain Joe's to steward.
Can I give monthly instead of all at once?
Yes, and it genuinely helps. The campaign runs twelve months, and a monthly partnership runs with it — $20 a month is a real and welcome way to be part of this. Steady support is what lets Joe plan rather than hope. You can change your card or stop giving at any time from the link in the footer, without emailing anyone.
Is a small amount actually worth giving?
Yes. The three partnership levels are there because a few people can carry a large share of the goal, but they are not the whole picture. Reaching people is the entire point of this campaign, and the people who walk alongside it month by month are part of that, not a footnote to it.
What happens if the full goal is not reached?
The campaign scales to what comes in. Every line of the plan is real work that can be done at more or less depth — the music is already finished, so nothing about the record depends on hitting a number.
