"Album Review"

Guide Review - Fred Thomas - I See You
Let's start out by mentioning the noteworthy tracks on this release. That would include tracks 1, 2, 3, 4 ... you get the picture, right? I've listened to this CD several times now and I've yet to find a bad song. This album is filled with some genuine gems. There aren't a ton of deep, life-changing lyrics (if you're already a Christian), but as with all modern worship songs, that simply isn't the point. Modern worship songs are simple, easy to remember and all about God. The difference between Fred Thomas' modern worship and most of what you'll hear coming from other camps is that ...
· It's not the same tunes you're hearing everywhere else
· There are some pretty deep, "make you think" moments in the verses mixed with choruses that are familiar in their sentiment, making them easy to sing along with during the very first listen.
Lest you think that this is just another pop flash in the pan, Fred throws in some musical surprises that will keep you guessing. Take "Thank You" for example - there is a really nice a cappella break in there that shows just how strong Fred's voice really is. "Hallowed" starts out with an old-school, urban church feel. "Rejoice" has a little touch of blues in the opening strains and "Holy And Acceptable" reminded me of a bit of Kenny Loggins, back in the old days.
Fred Thomas has one of those voices that you could listen to all day and not get tired. He is one of those "indie gems" that is making a real impact on the industry.

"Worship Experience"

“I’ve spoken all around the country and have been a part of all kinds of worship experiences, but coming before the Throne of Christ through Fred’s worship is like none that I’ve experienced. The worship quality is amazing and he truly takes you into the presence of God.”

"Pastoral Review"

“As was said of David, the shepherd boy King of Israel, when he would play his music, relief would come to the distressed King Saul. In the same manner, when Fred ministers, peace and breakthrough comes.”
Pastor Glenn Hubbart, Sr. Pastor, River in the Hills Church
- Pastor Glenn Hubbart


"Pastoral Review"

“Fred Thomas and his band has truly blessed me personally, and they have been used by God to touch the audience, every time they have played an event for us. I love his heart, his passion, and his sensitivity to God's leading! We have used him (at least) four times for events. They do not merely play notes; they perform at an incredible level - extremely tight sound, great guys, great vocals, great band! What more can I say? God willing, we'll use him again and again!”
Pastor Tim Clayton, Sr. Pastor, First Baptist Giddings, TX

""a true worshiper...""

“As I enter my tenth year in full-time Ministry, I can reflect back over the years and think of all the men I have come in contact with and many have come through the Ministry of Teen Challenge. When God sent Fred Thomas through Teen Challenge, there was a sudden change in the program’s music department. Fred brought life to this Ministry and everyone that listened to him. When Fred is ministering, he brings life to that atmosphere. Fred is one of the few, true worshiper's that I have met in my ten years of Ministry. He creates an atmosphere that causes even the most skeptical person to enter in and experience a supernatural encounter with God. I've seen him minister to young, old, Black, White, Hispanic, Pentecostal, Baptist, Methodist, Country folk, City folk, rich and poor alike. All have all been knocked of their feet by Fred Thomas’ powerful worship. He is truly one of God's most emphatic musicians I've ever seen and heard.

Bio

Fred is currently the Worship Pastor at River in the Hills Church located in the Lake Travis area, just outside of Austin, Texas. Ministering in the city he was born and raised in is a great reward for Fred. Fred has a powerful testimony of how God has taken a life filled with abuse, drug addiction and tragedy and has turned it into triumph. He is truly a trophy of God’s grace; he
has overcome the odds and is a voice for the broken, down trodden and hopeless. Fred has the amazing ability to speak transparently to the hearts of people. He leads people from a place of despair to a place of hope
and redemption through a dynamic and powerful worship experience. When Fred leads worship his passion, love for the Lord and people is the driving force. He encourages us to move from being mere spectators to participants in worship.

Fred came to know the Lord in a small Baptist Church. It was there that he was mentored and discipled. He later went on to serve in an Assembly’s of God church as a Worship Leader. For the past six years, Fred has been on staff at a Non Denominational church and has many distinct musical influences that have contributed to his worship style. Because of Fred’s unique musical background, he is able to carefully intertwine his own original material, and contemporary along with the traditional hymns we all hold dear to our hearts. To keep from compromising the rich heritage we have in worship, Fred creatively weaves a tapestry suitable for any specific setting. His energetic and enthusiastic spirit is both refreshing and contagious for all ages. He isn’t just a Worship Leader, he is a passionate follower of the Lord and participant in the whole worship experience. The characteristic most referred to as Fred’s best quality is his ability to be real and transparent with people. He has an anointing that truly comes from the Lord. People who know him have come to treasure that special quality about Fred.

In addition to serving as the Worship Leader for his congregation, Fred and his wife Amy served as the Youth Pastors in their church for five years. They planted seeds of inspiration into today’s generation. Students were challenged in powerful teaching, higher standards to live by and intimate prayer, praise and worship. Together, Fred and Amy have hosted numerous youth events, retreats community-wide outreach events and more. Today, they serve in the Worship ministry in their church and lead worship for various events outside the four walls of their church. They reside in Austin with their four children.
