Grammy-nominated Jesus Culture released the brand-new live album “Church Volume One (Live),” on Friday 24th April. Kim Walker-Smith, Bryan and Katie Torwalt, Chris McClarney, Chris Quilala, Mack Brock and Derek Johnson were among the worship leaders featured during the session.

Newreleasetoday said, “ ‘Church Volume One (Live)’ returns to who Jesus Culture was from the start: a family with a collection of songs that reflect who God is and what he is doing in their church and their lives. They captured lyrics and melodies that carry a new sound for a new season.”

“Jesus Culture started as a youth conference and evolved into a movement,” co-founder Walker-Smith said. “The music was a byproduct of the movement and what God was doing in and through us. As the music grew, we were labeled ‘Jesus Culture Band,’ and it became an identity that we were trying to fit into, and it never felt quite right. We were always a movement and a church. When we started talking about this album, we felt an overwhelming sense that we didn’t want to create another album just because. We wanted to, again, give birth to something that is just a byproduct of what God is doing in our church and in our lives. With this record, we wanted to be intentional about it and go back to what we know, our history, and our identity.”

This project is the first of two volumes that will be released in the next two months featuring 18 songs that were recorded live at Jesus Culture Sacramento over a period of four Sundays. “Church Volume One (Live)” includes the first nine songs to be released.

“It felt like a return to simplicity,” worship leader Derek Johnson said. “Capturing moments with our church family over the course of a few Sundays and singing songs we all needed to sing. It’s one of the reasons there are two volumes. Every song had something special, and we knew we had to release them all. How do you cut a moment with God? It just didn’t feel possible.”

These songs have become anthems for Jesus Culture, and they are excited to share them with the world during a time that hope is needed and fear is defeated. Songs such as “Still In Control” is a powerful reminder and a strong declaration, and “I Will Not Fear” feels like it was written for this moment in time.

“With all the world is facing right now, I think we all need to remember that ‘everything will change, so I will not fear,’ ” Johnson said. “Fear is such a familiar feeling for humans, so we need to constantly remind our spirits that God is the source of peace and courage, fear is not what God has to offer, it’s what the world offers. Something we always need is hope and especially now more than ever. These songs will release faith, hope, courage and trust that Jesus is with us and for us and will lead us into breakthrough. We are clinging to so much information and news and statistics, but those things always fail us. When we cling to hope, we are never disappointed.”

“Our prayer is that these songs would serve as a weapon for the Church in this time,” Walker-Smith said. “Our praise and our worship is powerful and it is a weapon to dispel lies and fear. We pray that these songs become the backdrop for many encounters with Jesus and put words to the prayers and cries of hearts.”

Jesus Culture is a church community of revivalists whose heart is to see a generation impacted through encounters with the presence of God. The Jesus Culture movement began 20 years ago and continues today at their local church in Sacramento, California.

Jesus Culture is focused on equipping young and old to transform society by living in community, growing in the word of God, discipleship, and living lives surrendered to Jesus in passionate worship.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Found in Your name the power to save
With only a whisper mountains shake
Jesus, our hope and strength
You made a way, unlocked these chains
Here in Your presence strongholds break
Freed by the love You gave

Chorus
We give You the highest praise
You deserve it all, You deserve it all

Verse 2
There on a tree merciful King
Broken and shamed for all to see
The Father laid down His Son
From darkness to light
Death lost to life
Heaven and earth will join and sing
Jesus has overcome

Bridge
With every breath that’s in my lungs
My heart cries out to You belongs
The glory
Through every loss or victory
My soul will rise to only bring
You glory

GRAMMY-nominated multi-Stellar Award winner, author and philanthropist Jonathan McReynolds makes strides with the latest endeavor, PEOPLE (EP). People poses for an excellent full-length visual album-the first for the gospel music genre.

People prides in amazing partnerships with Mali Music, The Walls Group and Pastor Mike Todd and is now available at all major digital outlets everywhere music is sold and downloaded.

PEOPLE EP presents an unusual approach to the people of God trying to live a better life. The core concept of the album is to concentrate on the word of God and the self-control of oneself in order to achieve enternal life. Proof of this can be found on the EP’s second single “Movin’ On” with Mali Music (RCA Inspiration) in which the two sing, “I am forgetting what’s behind me, I have decided I’ll be moving on.” People also contents fan favorites “Grace” and “He Knows.” On “He Knows” he reminds his audience “there is nothing that we can hide from God,” On “Grace” he inks, “I needed your grace more than I thought I ever would.” The track urges listeners to lean on God to deliver us from the self-righteous people that surround us.

Jonathan McReynolds – People (THE VISUAL ALBUM)

McReynolds released 3 full-length studio albums and 1 EP. His last full-length album, Make Room, debuted # 1 on the Billboard Gospel Chart, gaining a record 1.3 million stream in the first week, while McReynold’s first # 1 single, “Not Lucky, I’m Loved.” was also born in the EP.

“Our message with Jonathan has always been to help people experience Gospel music in a different way. This has probably been one of the most different projects we’ve had and one of the most rewarding. People is a record that shares Gospel music but can reach people wherever they are. We began the year knowing we would have to approach music differently and even our delivery to consumers. I’m glad to see that it’s translating well and given us the opportunity to connect with people universally and in unorthodox ways.” Jonathan McReynolds’ manager, Walter Thomas (A22 Entertainment) expounds.

Contemporary Christian Band, Elevation Worship released her brand new project, At Midnight on friday, August 30. This project consists of five songs, including their already-released single, “See A Victory.” The songs on At Midnight tell a timeless message: God is in control even when we aren’t.

“I think my favorite part about this project is its versatility,” says Chris Brown of Elevation Worship. “It has uplifting anthems like ‘See A Victory’ and slow ballads like ‘With You.’ One reminds us that God will fight our battles if we invite Him in, and the other reminds us to lean into Him in the stillness. I just feel like this project has a song for every season and a mantra for every mindset.”

At Midnight was recorded at Elevation Church Matthews and includes songs like “See A Victory,” “It Is So,” and a live version of “With You,” which originally appeared on their last project, Paradoxology.

“For this album, we drew a lot of inspiration from Acts 16 where Paul and Silas are thrown into prison,” says Chris Brown. “As they worshiped God, verse 25 tells us that the prison doors swung open at midnight and their chains were loosed. With this project, we asked the question: What if our praise was the kind of praise that broke chains?”
