Hi,
I’M RAY
I’m here to help worship songwriters flourish in their gifting.
For years I was caught up in the joy of honing the craft, and humbled by the kindness of God in seeing my songs sung by congregations all over the world.
Now I get to see the fruit in raising up the next generation of writers, whose songs are reaching further than mine ever did. I’m all in to help writers build a practice and life they can flourish in, writing songs that reach more people, until the earth is filled with the glory and gospel of God!

“I’ve really been impacted by Ray Badham, not just by his songwriting, but by who he is. There’s a sincerity and depth in the way he writes that comes from a real walk with God, and you can feel that in every song. His songs aren’t just well-crafted, they carry something that helps people genuinely encounter the presence of God.
What I appreciate even more is his heart to equip others. As a teacher, Ray has a special grace to make songwriting both accessible and meaningful. He doesn’t just teach technique, he draws out purpose, helping songwriters write from a place of authenticity and faith.
