MultiTracks Available from Austin Stone Worship's New Kids Album - Only Jesus Friday, October 7, 2016 Only Jesus is the brand new kids worship album from Austin Stone Worship. It features 10 new songs that were created specifically for children and their families so they would have a powerful experience worshiping Jesus by singing, dancing, and exploring basic truths of the gospel. Austin Stone Creative Director of Family Ministries Jesse Reeves shares, "Our desire was more than to just make a good worship album for kids. In the end we wanted a full resource that would invite kids and parents to discover truths about God together as a family. We wanted music that families could sing along to in the car and at home, music that centered everyone’s hearts on the truths of Scripture.” With this in mind, Austin Stone Worship has released a companion devotional guide for the album that will allow families to study the meaning of each song together along with interactive dance videos that will teach them how to dance and sing along.

New MultiTracks from Reyer - Resound Tuesday, October 4, 2016 Resound is the brand new release from acclaimed Dutch worship artist Reyer, recorded live in the largest amphitheatre in the Netherlands. This new album comes two years after the release of Reyer's Dutch debut project, Eeuwig Licht (Everlasting Light), which earned him a Dutch Dove Award and it connects the sound of contemporary worship with his passion for modern music, using pop and dance influences. Reyer shares the heart behind the recording, "The word 'resound' literally means 'to echo' or 'sound loudly.' In this time where fear and terror have such a loud voice in the world we live in, I want to make a decision to speak love, hope, and compassion into our nation. And I believe it is essential, now more than ever, to make known the greatness of our God."
MultiTracks from Beautiful Surrender by Jonathan David & Melissa Helser Now Available Friday, September 30, 2016 Beautiful Surrender is Jonathan David and Melissa Helser's eighth recording and first studio release as part of the Bethel Music Artist Collective. The Helsers are well-known for their Dove Award nominated single "No Longer Slaves" and with this new album, they invite listeners to find the joy in what it truly means to surrender everything to God. "Surrender is to cease resistance, yield control and give oneself up to the power of another. When you find the One your heart loves, surrender is a beautiful, effortless fall - not a duty or a task,” the couple shares. “When Jesus said 'follow me,' they saw everything they ever wanted and joyfully surrendered all they had. What would it look like to truly surrender without reservation, without caution, and give in fully not to an idea of God, but to God himself?" We previously released the MultiTracks for the album's three pre-released singles, "Beautiful Surrender," "Find Me," and "Catch the Wind" and now we are pleased to let you know that MultiTracks for the rest of the album are now available.

This week, we are excited to feature their latest release, What We Hope For, as our Indie Showcase. This new live recording is full of congregational worship that encourages us to look ahead with hopeful anticipation of what God can do as we live lives that are full of faith. Emmanuel LIVE worship leader Mark Alan Schoolmeesters comments, “We are excited to see how God is using the music to reach people, though it’s not at all about whether or not it is successful in the eyes of the world. We never set out to make an album. We are burdened to write songs for our church, out of the journey of faith we are walking and have a strong desire to be a resource to THE local church and these recordings have been a vehicle to do just that.”
