About Us
As the leaders of the Unshackled Network began to pray and gather dreaming up ways to reach people in the shadows of Lake County with the freeing message of the Gospel, God was building the groundwork for an outreach to the Hip-Hop community. Pastor Fury, the leader of Beats, Bars, & Bible, had been making music for years and grew increasingly serious about it in 2017. With his first official single’s release in 2017, and debut album “Everything to Me“ in 2018, Unshackled Records was born. It didn’t take long before God connected the musical passions of Pastor Fury with his brother in Christ, Jonathan Lozada. The two began collaborating on track after track and Jonathan’s much anticipated EP “It’s Time,” was released in March 2019.
As the Spring went on, Pastor Fury found himself in several conversations with different young men who were passionate about Hip-hop. Then it hit him, “Why not start an expression of church that deals with Hip-hop?” So on July 9th, 2019 in Round Lake at the Unshackled Studios located in the home of Pastor Fury, began the first gathering of Beats, Bars, & Bible. we discuss the challenges of life and faith in jesus, the impact of music, and collaborate on creating beats and bars. NOW LEADER JONATHAN LOZADA hosts the twice a month gathering where fellowship is the secret sauce. COME AND FIND YOUR PEOPLE.
