GRAMMY nominated and Billboard #1 worship groups Elevation Worship and Maverick City are gearing up for the release of their collaborative live album, Old Church Basement, dropping April 30, 2021. The album’s highly anticipated first single, Jireh featuring Chandler Moore and Naomi Raine of Maverick City is available today! 

“Over the past year, the Mav crew has become more like family to us,” says Chris Brown from Elevation Worship. “The times we’ve spent writing and worshipping together have been very special and felt equally important to what God was doing in both of our ministries.” Out of one of their first songwriting sessions came the song “Jireh,” a powerful ballad that Elevation Worship has been singing in their church services for several months. “It was the first song Pastor Steven and I wrote with Chandler Moore and Naomi Raine and it’s the song that kickstarted the idea for the entire project, Old Church Basement," says Brown.

“Jireh” features lead vocals from Chandler Moore and Naomi Raine, who are also credited as co-writers on the track. “This song has honestly been a reminder for me that God is everything we’ll ever need. My prayer and hope is that everyone who listens to this is reminded of the Father’s heart toward us and that He loves to take care of us,” says Naomi Raine of Maverick City.

Dante Bowe | circles

circles represents reflections Dante penned as he spent time in 2020 learning and appreciating his own roots, honoring the people and the journey that have formed him.

Church of the City | Goodness of God

Their rendition of Bethel Music's transcending "Goodness of God" is dynamic, led with powerful vocals from Ileia Sharae. All my life You have been faithful / All my life You have been so, so good / With every breath that I am able / I will sing of the goodness of God.

Lion & Bear | Warrior King

"No matter how many giants we may face in this life, we have a Warrior King fighting on our behalf. If He is for us, who can be against us?"

for KING & COUNTRY | Amen (Reborn) ft. Lecrae

Amen (Reborn) [feat. Lecrae + The WRLDFMS Tony Williams] is a song about renaissance and renewal. “When we performed it last autumn at an award show with Lecrae, Tony Williams, and a gospel choir, it launched the song into another stratosphere of meaning. So, with 2020 now in the rearview mirror, we look to move past these global hardships together and start fresh with a new perspective, which is the core essence of the song. And thanks to Lecrae’s galvanizing prayer of humility along with Tony’s characteristic and purposeful voice." - Joel Smallbone

We are so excited to have CeCe Winans on our podcast today. God has trusted CeCe with success and her notoriety has only brought her closer to Him. She shares how her “why” hasn’t changed despite being named the best-selling female gospel artist of all time, and she reminds worship artists that you have to want God more than anything. “Good success means you’re still hidden in Him.”

She also talks about the process behind “Believe For It” - the transcending title track from her new live album. Chris Baker states the simple, powerful truth about CeCe: “There is something that is synonymous with CeCe Winans and that is the presence of God.” Worship leading resources for the entire Believe For It project are now available!
