DUPREE is a Christian contemporary mother-son duo comprised of Lauren & Dylan Dupree. Their uplifting, feel-good music has elements of heavy pop, rock, harmonies and Dylan's impressive & soulful guitar riffs. Their latest album Never Forget is now available! Here are their song backstories:

Praise Be
“This song is a reminder that Jesus will always take you out of the darkness and that you are a child of God. He is a remedy for the heartsick and the answer to all your pain. Jesus saves!”

Lean In
“This song is about leaning in to God and coming closer to Him when the world is getting you down. When people are not treating you well, draw closer to God and He will come to you and be your strength. Only He can give you peace and the ability to realize your dreams when no one else believes in you. God can open doors that no man can shut.”

Walking It (World Go By)
“We all have the responsibility of evangelizing. As Matthew 15:16 says: “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” We are called to help one another…the poor, the needy, the bullied, the lonely. Are we going to sit and watch the world go by or are we going to use our time wisely? This is what we are called to do. As we do these things for others and share God’s love, we do them for Jesus.”

Chapel Song (Old Dirt Road)
Chapel Song is about a little church off a dirt road at Cades Cove in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee. We would visit this church on the tour and dream about what it was like for people to gather, sing praise, and share fellowship in more simple times. This song is meant to inspire people today to share these wonderful moments with each other with no judgement, but a DUPREE Never Forget Album Song Stories community of fellowship and belonging for everyone to experience the joy of Jesus!

Stronger Together
We are called to love one another as God loves us. We are stronger and better together. When one of us is hurting and being torn down by others emotionally or spiritually, this is not what God asks of us. Let’s help our brothers and sisters that feel they do not belong. We are all perfectly and wonderfully made in the image of God! Let them know they are valuable!

Open Heaven is a contemporary worship collective based out of Faith Life Church in Columbus, OH, with music rooted in pop and rock sounds, mixed with the power of worship. Their album Triumph is now available!

“In the very beginning of this year we sat down as a songwriting team and felt that God was telling us to write about resurrection and breakthrough. Little did we know that we would need to hold on to that promise so tightly in the coming weeks and months. He leads us in triumph. Always. Every single time. Without fail. In all confidence.

When all hell breaks loose, it’s a setup for a triumph. When it feels like there is a barrier, and we are held in bondage, it’s a setup for a breakthrough! When it looks like there’s been a death, it’s a setup for a resurrection! Based on 2 Corinthians 2:14, we pray this entire project brings the power of God unto your everyday life and reminds you of who you are and Whose you are.”

This week we are honored to have 11x Grammy-nominated Gospel powerhouse Marvin Sapp on the podcast! He shares the responsibility he feels as an artist to deliver “horizontal” messaging that causes people to have a vertical relationship with God, why he always prioritizes singing classic hymns, and most importantly, how he keeps it “churchy and funky.”

He also talks about how he balances ministry and family and how there are some “foundational things we should simply never leave” when it comes to congregational classics. Marvin is considered to be one of the most influential voices in Gospel music. We're honored to share this conversation we believe will leave a mark on your life.

“IYKYK” is a play on the popular online acronym, meaning “if you know you know." The lyrics are meant to inspire listeners to find their identity in their relationship with Christ. “This song is not just for young people; we’re all faced with what culture celebrates – whether it’s status, wealth, or relationships. We’ve found that all of those things are temporary, but God’s promises are eternal,” says Davide Mutendji of ELEVATION RHYTHM.

ELEVATION RHYTHM is the sound of Elevation YTH, the youth ministry of Elevation Church. Formed in 2019, ELEVATION RHYTHM believes in writing and recording songs to engage hearts and bring a new cadence of hope to the current generation. Their song Never Walk Away claimed the #1 spot on Billboard's Christian Music Hot AC/CHR chart. 

Their latest single IYKYK is about trusting in the big picture that the Lord is at work in your life right now, even if you can't see the details. "It is not HOW you know. It is not WHAT you know. It is WHO you know."

Producers Peter James & Greg Burkin have teamed up to bring you an amazing bundle of Rhodes and Atmospheric Pads! The 1980s MKII Fender Rhodes has a sound unlike any other. Now it's available in MainStage, Logic, and StageReady.

The MKII was sampled at 8 velocity layers through a Shadow Hills Equinox preamp, then processed Peter’s favorite Strymon BigSky presets as well as other reverbs. The end result was an incredibly detailed dry Rhodes tone, unique and deep ambient pads, and amazing effected Rhodes tones combining the two. Check out the Ultimate Rhodes Collection today!

"This Ensemble Project from is special because it gave us the opportunity to reimagine some of our favorite songs from our album Altars.  This project is stripped back in instrumentation and production but filled with passion and energy!  We wanted to bring a new sound, a new perspective, a new reflection of our church to this project while keeping the powerful message of these songs.  In many ways, the truth of these songs is clearer than ever!"

This new version of North Point Worship’s Anchor of Peace features Atlanta-based artist Desi Raines. North Point Worship writes with the hope that every person who hears their music will be encouraged to follow Jesus more wholeheartedly, and that those who feel far from God will personally experience the nearness of His grace.

“Anchor of Peace” reminds us that we need not look further than our savior to find everything we need. Original Master MultiTracks are now available!
