Living On Purpose | Few artists embody the intersection of faith, family, and purpose-driven artistry quite like Sean Rodriguez. A next-generation pastor-turned-singer-songwriter, Sean and his young family took a leap of faith in 2022, leaving behind the familiar landscapes of Colorado to plant new roots in Nashville, TN. The calling? To create Christ-centered music that not only inspires but ignites hope in the hearts of today’s generations as they journey toward God.
“I want this music and its message to encourage as many families as possible right now,” Sean shares earnestly. “But even more than that, it’s our prayer that the seeds planted today will lead to incredible growth tomorrow. How incredible is it to think that God could use music to play a part in someone’s greater story?”
That vision is resonating powerfully. Sean’s late 2024 single, “It Is Finished” (feat. Disciple), has spent ten non-consecutive weeks at #1 on the CMW Rock Chart through early 2025, while the title track of his WieRok Records album debut Jesus Will EP has amassed over 2M streams on Spotify and Pandora alone within its first six months of release. Compared to all of 2024, seeing Sean’s growing catalogue reach over 2.1 million streams combined on the top five global digital streaming platforms—an undeniable testament to the impact of his music and current audience expansion.
Sean’s heart for ministry extends beyond the recording studio and onto some of Christian music’s biggest stages. As a featured artist on the 2023 Winter Jam Tour Spectacular, he delivered his message of hope night after night to thousands across the country. “I don’t believe we, as artists, were taken out of ministry to make music,” Sean reflects. “I believe God grants us an extension of our ministry platform to reach more hearts through the music.”
For Sean, music is more than a profession—it’s a family mission. The Rodriguezes’ unwavering commitment to faith and togetherness is woven into every note, every lyric, every live performance. His ability to blend a pastoral heart, biblical depth, and creative passion—all within a family-first framework—is what makes his message so compelling to audiences of all ages.
This heart for family and faith is also what led to one of Sean’s most deeply personal releases in 2024, the aforementioned “Jesus Will.” The song was birthed from a moment of unexpected loss—a phone call delivering the news that his beloved aunt had passed away at just 48 years old. “It was completely unexpected,” Sean recalls. “It was this paradox of joy—knowing she was welcomed Home—and deep sorrow. I kept thinking, ‘It’s not fair. She did everything right in her life.’”
From that grief emerged lyrics that have already begun to resonate with countless listeners:
You felt hurt you never thought that you could know / Now you’ve got stories you never thought you would’ve told / But He is near the broken-hearted / He will finish what He promised / When there’s chaos all around, He’s still in control.
Even now, God is in it still / When you can’t battle, Jesus will / There’s no life that He can’t use / There’s no loss He can’t shine through.
When you can’t carry the weight of all you feel, Jesus Will.
Beyond the music, Sean’s inspiration finds deep roots in his grandfather’s enduring ministry—a legacy of faith spanning over 40 years. “He’s 70 years old, but when he preaches, he sings, praises, and delivers the Word with the energy of a young man,” Sean says of Pastor William A. Rodriguez. “His obedience to God is at the very core of my faith. His leadership in my life inspires my own walk with Christ and fuels my passion for ministry.”
That legacy is beautifully honored in Sean’s track, “House of God,” (released summer 2024). The official music video, filmed at his grandfather’s Denver-area congregation, even features “Pastor Grandpa” himself. “This song is a celebration of my upbringing in the church,” Sean explains. “I grew up seeing former gang members, ex-convicts, families from every walk of life—all worshiping together. That was church for me. That shaped who I am today.”
This sense of generational impact fuels Sean’s mission. He intimately understands that faith is not just personal—it’s meant to be passed down, cultivated, and shared. With humility, he acknowledges the weight of that responsibility: “I just hope I can make both my Heavenly Father and my grandfather proud.”
At the core of it all, Sean believes that every person who listens to his music has a unique, God-ordained purpose. Echoing the words of Ephesians 3:20, ‘Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us…’ he shares one simple but profound encouragement:
“God gave us purpose, so we have to LIVE on purpose.”
To Him be the glory throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen!
