Dove Award-nominated Chris Renzema releases Let The Ground Rest – B-Sides, recorded in the famed Nashville studio The Smoakstack. The EP features five live studio performances, including three versions of songs from his widely acclaimed sophomore LP of the same name, along with two new songs thematically connected to the album: “Tear My House Down” and the American Songwriter-featured single “Mercy.” The new music is a window into how the songs were formed while on tour.

“What’s cool about working out of The Smoakstack is that we got to play together as a band. Making music as a group feels less mechanical and more human. A lot of what I wrote for the last project has taken on new meaning in the pandemic, and singing about waiting on a season to change or sitting it out through a hard time means a lot more to me now that it did then.”

Danny Gokey’s latest single, “New Day” is his 15th song to make Top 20 on the Christian Airplay chart and his 14th song Top 20 on the CAC charts. Original Master MultiTracks are now available! This song is uplifting and has a fun, modern pop groove.

“Look No Further” by Foothills Collective was written out of a desire for people to lay aside the temporary things in the world and replace them with the life that Jesus brings. "The answer to all of the problems, struggles, and questions we could ever have is simply Jesus. John 10:10 says 'The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.'"

"Christ Will Be My Hideaway" by Sovereign Grace Music is a song for a pandemic, or any time. The lyrics, based on Psalm 91, lift our eyes above our circumstances to see God’s good, wise, and powerful care.

Our Free MultiTrack of the Month is the compelling single Call To Action from Anthony Brown & group therAPy, released on their latest album Stuck in the House: The Pandemic Project. “Call to Action” a powerful song unifying all people for the betterment of the world right now and generations to follow.This song is a free permanent download.

We’re so excited to kick off Black History Month 2021 with this conversation between Chris Baker and JJ Hairston. 

Chris and JJ talk about how artists wanting to echo what’s popular is an epidemic in the music industry today, and that being excited about your unique identity yields more longevity than chasing what’s popular.

JJ also encourages all of us that even in this long season of waiting, we’re all still growing and we’ll be even more prepared for the next season because we’ve faced such a long moment of not having our typical comfort crutches to lean on. Don’t miss this episode of The Worship and Technology Podcast!

Jonathan Stockstill's musical innovation and leadership style define the best of the new generation of church leaders. During the last 10 years, he has taken the church to new heights, opening five new church campuses across Louisiana, starting Bethany College and partnering with the Surge Project to plant 3,400 new churches around the globe.

"I tend to try to figure things out in the natural world. But I went through a season where it seemed like I was facing spiritual attack after spiritual attack. Through the process of writing "You Fight My Battles", God reminded me of three key scriptures: Exodus 14:13, when Moses told the Israelites that God would fight for them; all they needed to do was remain calm, 2 Chronicles 20:21, when King Jehoshaphat sent the worshipers ahead of the Israelite army and God fought for them, and finally, Acts 16 when Paul and Silas sang to God in the prison and God shook the prison cell in the midnight hour. This song came from the inspiration that if I just focus on praising God, he can and will fight the spiritual battles for me."
