Jonathan Traylor | We Come Alive

Offering a diverse sound with his music as well as his presentation of it, Jonathan Traylor is truly a unique fresh sound for the new generation. His latest single, "We Come Alive," is about the Lord's redemption within our broken world. It speaks about God's healing presence and how freeing it is to be near the Creator. 

Travis Greene x Forward City | Tent Revival (feat. D'Nar)

Travis Greene shares: "'Tent Revival' is an uptempo, stadium-feel, party track. The lyrics turn our focus from looking outward for a tent to meet with God, to looking inward. 'My heart is a tent... I will be Your revival.'"

Josh Baldwin | Narrow Road

We’ve always been told walking with the Lord comes with its highs and lows. “Narrow Road” reminds us our walk may not always be easy, but the Lord never abandons us on the journey.
