About Cory Asbury

Cory Asbury is a worship leader and singer-songwriter from Tulsa, Oklahoma, best known for his breakthrough hit 'Reckless Love,' which became a staple in contemporary Christian worship settings worldwide. The song's central metaphor—God's love as reckless and boundless—resonated deeply with listeners seeking authentic spiritual expression beyond polished production. Asbury's songwriting often grapples with themes of grace, identity, and belonging, informed by his background in the Bethel Church movement. His approach to worship leans introspective and conversational rather than grandiose, drawing comparisons to other thoughtful worship writers. Beyond 'Reckless Love,' tracks like 'The Father's House' and 'No Longer Slaves' showcase his ability to craft songs that work both as personal devotions and congregational anthems. Asbury has built a modest but devoted following among worship musicians and church communities, particularly in evangelical and charismatic circles, while maintaining a relatively low profile in mainstream music.

Asbury's shows are intimate despite the crowd size. Audiences sing along with genuine participation rather than passive consumption. He creates space for silence and reflection between songs. The energy is devotional but not performative—people are there to connect, not watch a spectacle.

Known for Reckless Love, The Father's House, No Longer Slaves, Jesus Paid It All, I Speak Jesus

St. Louis has a deep well of gospel and faith-based music rooted in its African American communities and church traditions.

Asbury's introspective, emotionally direct approach to modern worship fits naturally into that landscape — it's the kind of music that finds real resonance in a city with St. Louis's musical DNA.

St. Louis road trip to see Cory Asbury?

Base yourself in the Central West End, where the tree-lined streets and converted lofts give the neighborhood a genuinely livable vibe. Hit Broadway Oyster Bar for something with actual character, or Park Avenue Coffee if you need to ease in. Spend an afternoon at the City Museum—it's genuinely weird and worth your time, not a tourist trap. The Pulitzer Arts Foundation is also worth an hour if contemporary art is your thing. St. Louis takes itself less seriously than most cities, which makes it easy to move around and find decent food without overthinking it.
