Giving fans a taste of their new record live, the band recently returned from Australia and New Zealand, where they headlined capacity shows in five different cities, concluding their time down under with a sold-out concert in Brisbane. When We Are Messengers resumes their global “Where The Joy Is Tour” next week, the spring leg will visit 27 U.S. markets with direct support from both Fuller and Jonathan Traylor. Additional international dates are expected to be announced.

“This USA tour is going to be the most joyful, wonderful tour we’ve ever done,” Mulligan says of the band’s next run of shows. “Something shifted for us a couple of years ago, and the Lord turned all our mourning to dancing and all our sorrow to joy. It’s transformed our lives, and we can’t wait to share it with you all. Make sure you grab your tickets today, and we’ll see you soon.”

Today (Mar 29), powerhouse vocalist Anna Golden share Church (Deluxe).

“I remember reading a quote that said, ‘When you’re healed you remember things differently,’” says Golden. “Through the Holy Spirit, healthy community, and pastors who just love Jesus, I saw this start to takeplace in my own heart.

I have always loved God’s house since I was a little girl, but there were moments over working in full time ministry for 10 years that can break your heart. For this record, the Lord took me all the way back to the beginning with the church I grew up in, remembering how that was the first place I ever saw Christ personified through imperfect people, trying to look like Jesus. I remembered where I fell in love with God’s house, and why.”

The cinematic and compelling story of the Book of Revelation has been put to music, courtesy of David and Nicole Binion. As we lead into the celebration of Easter, the timely release of their EP The Revelation Of Jesus (Integrity Music) is available today, the first of three Revelation projects to be released from the Binions this year. Listen to The Revelation of Jesus.

The seven songs found on The Revelation of Jesus bring the Book of Revelation to life, illuminating the glory, mystery, and encounters between God and man. The inspiration to create the project began one day in May 2020 during the throes of the global pandemic when David was awakened by God’s voice to write the Revelation of Jesus. David explains, “I was stunned by the invitation, uncertain if I was even qualified to take on such an endeavor. But I told the Lord yes immediately.”

All of the songs were recorded live at the Huckabee Theater in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Joining David and Nicole Binion are featured artists including Danny Gokey, Rita Springer, and Mitch Wong, among others. The three projects were produced by David Binion and Daniel Lopez.

Leading up to today’s release, TBN is set to air the live recording of The Revelation Of Jesus on Tuesday, April 16. Check local listings for airtime.

David Binion, who co-penned the track “I Was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day” with Krissy Nordoff, reflects on Revelation 1:10, connecting the narrative of John’s experience to his own and to listeners. Track two “Patmos” written by David Binion with Mitch Wong, is a favorite of Nicole’s, a raw and melodic piece that reminds listeners of God’s promise “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”

“It is our desire to bring illumination to a new generation of worshipers about the glory and mystery of this beautiful, poetic book of the Bible,” the Binion’s share collectively. “John shows us the kind of encounters that are possible with God and man. This encounter isn’t only for John, it’s for all of us.”

With the hope that these songs bless the listeners, they add, “In the first few verses of Revelation, John writes, ‘Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it…’ We want those who hear it, and those who sing it, to receive the blessing of Revelation that was promised.”

In the original liner notes, Amy said, “This collection of songs brings countless pictures to mind. Memories made over years in the top of an old red barn…Jammed up in the loft with the dust and sweat, the raw nerves, and the truth…The hope is that these simple songs will always remind us…we believe in God.”

Grant is currently touring throughout the spring in 33 cities across the U.S., including Mother’s Day weekend for her first solo headline shows at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. Grant and husband Vince Gill celebrated their 100th show at The Ryman as part of a sold-out 2023 “Christmas at the Ryman” residency this past December, making them the first artists to headline 100 show at the iconic venue.

Grammy-nominated stand-up comedian and Nashville native Nate Bargatze surprised the duo on stage with a Hatch Show Print commemorating the 12-show run and centennial milestone.

Bethel Music announces the release of its highly anticipated live album, “MOMENTS: WAIT.”

Available today with focus track “The Blood (Live)” and corresponding music video, the 13-track project is a compilation of spontaneous corporate worship moments from the internationally renowned collective, with special features including Upperroom’s Abbie Gamboa, and Elevation Worship’s Tiffany Hudson, and more. Listen to “MOMENTS: WAIT” and watch “The Blood (Live)” music video.

Bethel Music’s second moments album, “MOMENTS: WAIT” follows the collective’s 2018 release, “Moments: Mighty Sound” and draws inspiration from the book of Psalms. The theme of this latest project focuses on waiting on the Lord, as evident all throughout Scripture––to sit and wait patiently for Him to come and reveal Himself in all of His beauty.

The album’s focus track, “The Blood (Live),” led by Bethel Music’s David Funk, is a song of declaration leading people into a deeper revelation of the transformative and redemptive blood of Jesus while “MOMENTS: WAIT” serves as an invitation to find peace in the moments of waiting, knowing that there is profound beauty and purpose in the stillness.

“The beauty of this album and the concept of waiting is the patience of not knowing or getting the desired outcome right away,” says Funk. “Waiting is an expression that we Love Him and we are here for His purposes, plans and desires… all in His timing.”

Says Bethel Music Co-Founder Jenn Johnson, “This album is so special… there’s nothing like being in the presence of God––to sit and wait on Him with no agenda, not rushing to the next thing, but just simply to come rest and encounter the Lord. My prayer is that this album would help cultivate a beautiful space for people listening to wait on Him and to minister to the heart of Jesus.”

Since forming in 2001, Bethel Music has released 18 worship albums with each carrying a unique theme and featuring some of the most well-recognized artists in the genre. The music collective has broken records, ranking in CCLI’s top 25 songs since 2013. Most recently, “Reckless Love” has appeared in the top 25 since 2018, and “Living Hope” in the top 10 since 2019. Hitting a new stride over the last few years, Bethel Music has continually ranked at #6 in the top 10 radio market share.

Today (Mar 15), dynamic singer / songwriter Chris Renzema debuts a new album titled Manna.

Been a long time in the works and I’m so glad to have this album finally out in the world. Couldn’t be more excited to share it with everyone. -Renzema

Tedashii releases “Dead Or Alive Pt.2” the 2nd EP in his series “Dead Or Alive” that came to life following a traumatic accident backstage on tour that eventually led him to the crossroads of choosing life or choosing death, Tedashii explains on an interview he posted Featuring 5 new tracks, following the release of two singles this year, “IYKYK” and “Pray For Me” ft. Dkg Kie, the EP includes features from Alano Adan, Childlike CiCi, Joey Vantes, 678NATH and many more. Listen to “Dead Or Alive Pt. 2″

September 2023 marked the beginning of a new chapter in Tedashii’s story — a time to tell of the fight for his life as he was faced with the decision to live or to die. In the fight of his life, Tedashii’s project “Dead or Alive Pt. 1” begins to recount the pain and trials he’s battled, leaving a highly-anticipated end of the story. Now, in March of 2023, Tedashii has come through the fire and is singing a different song. One of victory, hope and authenticity. Following the fight for his life, Tedashii is now truly living in the present with the plan to be exactly who he feels called to be.

In the focus track, “Pop Up”, Tedashii vulnerably delivers raps over a peaceful piano melody saying, “I thought nobody cared if Crae and Trip weren’t at the show, but no matter who is with me, He’s the reason that I go.” This is a declaration that Tedashii is no longer doubting his purpose and that there is a reason for him being where he is. “Dead Or Alive Pt. 2” in its entirety displays the fruit of Tedashii’s endurance through the fight for his life and finalizes that his decision has been made. There is no question now: He chooses life.

“This series for me was truly about claiming victory over the enemy. I can recount a handful of times in my life where the devil literally attempted to take my life. By God’s grace I’ve survived and in many cases outside of my own strength been saved. But outside of this, God has shown me that in my day to day I even have the same choice. To live and not to die,” says Tedashii. “I choose abundant life, and I hope the stories I share through this music remind other people that they can make that same choice. I believe that if you wake up and you have breath in your lungs, God is not done with you. What He has for you is good. So chase after it.”

Surpassing four million streams to date, “Dead Or Alive Pt.1” has captivated fans with Tedashii’s storytelling and topical explorations of mental health, struggles with injustice and very real warfare with the enemy as he goes through his healing journey and Pt. 2 is here to tell the rest of the story.

Tedashii explains, “At several points in my own life, I’ve felt crushed under the weight of so many hardships and I’ve even attempted to end it all. It was in that moment I was faced with a choice, to live or die. Dead Or Alive is my journey of choosing to live, while saying to the listener what I said to myself: dead or alive, you decide.”

Now that he has shared his darkest life experiences, Tedashii is motivated knowing he’s still here and God still has a purpose for him. He’s also hopeful that his story will resonate with people who have had a similar experience and encourage them to choose life abundantly as he has.
