This release is Matt's first Christmas project and it features 11 new seasonal anthems, including collaborations with Natasha Bedingfield, Chris Tomlin, and Tasha Cobbs.

Thinking a lot about Him coming as a little newborn baby," he shares. “We worked very hard on this record. I’m so grateful and aware of the collaboration, the team effort. Lots of people just digging deep, bringing their creativity, time and gifting their experience on this record. There’s definitely a sense of family, collaboration and friendship.” We invite you to check out these new songs as you're starting to prepare for your Christmas services, including the album's title track, "These Christmas Lights," which revisits the night of Jesus' birth and "His Name Shall Be," which proclaims the peace and hope He brought to the world.

These Christmas Lights truly brings the Christmas story alive with great joy and reverence and is now available on iTunes.

He has traveled all over the world to preach and lead worship and is currently serving as a worship pastor at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. His new EP, In God We Trust, was sparked by the current events and issues that people are facing today in the United States. “Our nation is in a crazy season right now, and I wanted to put together a collection of songs that would encourage people through the turbulence," Stephen states. "To fill people’s minds, mouths, and memories with the truth of God’s word and encourage them that He is still sovereign, kind, wise, just, and completely in control. No matter what is going on in our nation and in our world, God hasn’t changed. His character remains the same. We can trust Him.” Through songs such as "Our God Majestic" which rejoices in God's unfailing promises and the album's title track, "King of All (In God We Trust)" which emphasizes His perfect plan and crowns Him King over all, we are reminded that our hope rests in the One who is greater than any circumstance. In God We Trust is now available on iTunes. We hope you'll check out all of the songs on this brand new release and consider adding them to your setlist.
