Christian artist Dave Donatelli has released his new single “Heaven Whispers” to Christian radio. Known for heartfelt songwriting that connects deeply with listeners, Donatelli continues to carve a unique path in Christian music with lyrics that are both relatable and rooted in timeless faith.

“Heaven Whispers” paints a vivid picture of divine love breaking through life’s trials. The song opens with imagery of angels, fields of gold, and a voice that calls the weary soul home. Listeners are invited into moments of freedom, renewal, and hope as Donatelli sings of chains breaking and mercy flowing.

The chorus echoes with the promise of a love so mighty, pure, and true, guiding hearts toward the eternal embrace of God’s golden shores. With its blend of Christian country warmth, inspirational storytelling, and soft rock textures, the single captures the beauty of redemption and the assurance of God’s presence.

Produced and written by Donatelli himself, “Heaven Whispers” is being released to Christian Country and Christian AC radio formats. The song carries the same sincerity and soul that has defined his musical journey. His influences range from The Eagles and Jackson Browne to Chris Tomlin and Matt Redman, weaving together a sound that is both classic and fresh. From his home in Orange County, California, Donatelli writes from the heart and soul, creating songs that people can connect with in the highs and lows of life.

This release follows the strong chart performance of his previous single, “By His Grace Alone,” which debuted at #2 on the CRC Weekly Chart and remained in the Top 10 for eight consecutive weeks. The song also climbed to #3 on the CRC Monthly Chart, signaling Donatelli’s growing presence and impact in the Christian radio landscape.

With “Heaven Whispers,” Dave Donatelli offers another powerful anthem of faith, inviting listeners to lift their eyes and find strength in the eternal promise of God’s love.

Every so often, a collection of songs comes along that doesn’t just entertain—it encourages you to look inward, to take inventory of your soul, and to ask the hard questions about the path you’re walking. Jeremy Parsons’ EP Life is one of those rare offerings.

Written during the pandemic—a season of isolation, uncertainty, and loss—this five-song set feels like both confession and testimony. While Parsons doesn’t market himself as a “Christian artist” per se, there’s no denying that the themes of mortality, redemption, and the value of our time echo loudly with the kind of eternal perspective believers recognize.

The opener, “Tickin’,” sets the tone with its reminder that time is fleeting. Parsons sings of the clock on the wall, its hands moving forward whether we pay attention or not. In Scripture, Psalm 90:12 reminds us to “number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Parsons’ lyric “It’s not wasted if you choose to learn” sounds like a modern echo of that ancient prayer. It challenges listeners to consider not just how they spend their time, but whether they’re investing it in things of eternal worth.

“The Garden” grows this reflection into a parable. Parsons, drawing from the imagery of seeds, growth, and withering, asks us to take a look at what’s thriving in our lives and what isn’t. Jesus Himself often used garden imagery to describe the state of the heart—most notably in the parable of the sower. Parsons’ refrain, “I hope that means you are too,” becomes a blessing, a prayer for the well-being of those who hear it. It reminds us that tending the soil of our lives is a constant process, one that requires patience, faith, and perseverance.

Perhaps the most vulnerable track, “Who Was I,” is Parsons’ honest reckoning with his past—his years of drifting, chasing empty highs, and measuring himself against others’ expectations. There’s a humility in this song that resonates with the Christian idea of repentance, of looking back on our mistakes not to glorify them, but to acknowledge how far grace has carried us.

When Parsons admits, “Sometimes I wonder who’s chasing who, me or the dream,” he voices the same restlessness that Saint Augustine described when he wrote, “Our hearts are restless until they find rest in You.”

“Humanity” steps into broader territory, addressing the brokenness of our world. Parsons calls out judgment, pride, and the loss of compassion, lamenting that humanity itself seems to be dying inside us. Yet woven through the song is the reminder that we always have a choice.

As Christians, we know that true humanity is restored in Christ, who teaches us to love our neighbors and forgive as we’ve been forgiven. Parsons’ plea for empathy and humility aligns perfectly with that Gospel truth.

Finally, the closer, “Life Worth Dyin’ For,” stands as the EP’s benediction. It’s a celebration of living with purpose, of cherishing every moment, and of leaving behind a testimony that points others toward love and hope. For believers, it resonates deeply with Paul’s words in 2 Timothy 4:7—“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

Parsons isn’t preaching here, but his message is one that any Christian can embrace: a life lived with love, laughter, and perseverance is a life that honors the Creator.

Life is not a “religious” record, but it is profoundly spiritual. It reminds us of the fragility of our days, the importance of compassion, and the joy of finding meaning in the midst of struggle. For the Christian listener, it’s a poignant reminder that our time is a gift, our trials are part of the journey, and our hope is in living a life that reflects something greater than ourselves.

“I think so many times in life we feel like we’re living in a wasteland, and we’re missing the fact that we’re actually standing in forests of green, lush life,” offers Stars Go Dim frontman Chris Cleveland. “If we just slow down, if we just take a look around, if we just say, ‘God, how can I meet You here?’ we’d see that God is moving and working all the time. That’s what Roses is about.”

While Cleveland carefully handpicked a few seasoned lyricists to help him bring Roses to life, he also intentionally chose to collaborate with a large pool of relatively unknown songwriters for the majority of the project, giving many of the writers represented in the credits their first career cut.

Mexican-American actress/producer/artist MŌRIAH debuts the official music video for “Superwoman,” which is expected to be featured on her forthcoming Latin Country LP, due out in 2025.

“I’ve always wanted to write a song to the little girl who still speaks inside each of us. This one’s for you, ladies. I hope “Superwoman” gives you a little bit of the courage you’ve given me.”

Burton wrote this song to remind the Church that everything is centered around Jesus, now and always. This anthem provides listeners with the language to declare the power of Jesus over any challenges they may face, reminding them who is in control, even when the world seems uncertain.

He adds, “I hope this song serves as a cry of surrender for the Church, encouraging us to live each day with Jesus over everything in our lives.”

This fall, he will be on tour with Matthew West on the continuation of his “Don’t Stop Praying” tour, which begins on November 6th. The release and tour coincide with Burton joining renowned agency, WME, for exclusive representation.

Award-winning singer/songwriter and author Ellie Holcomb releases the next track “Give Me Your Hand” from her forthcoming album, Far Country, coming on September 12th.

This song is my heart….no filters, no edits, full of questions, raw, grieving, struggling to believe…..and in awe that Jesus would meet me right there…once again. Sometimes you write a song looking back at the pain with the perspective from the mountaintop as you remember the shadows from the valley below…and sometimes you write a song
IN THE VALLEY and THROUGH the SOBS, WHILE SHAKING YOUR FIST AT HEAVEN,
ANGRY at GOD.
“Give Me Your Hand” is that song. I pray that it meets you right where you are and helps you feel less alone. -Holcomb

Internationally renowned worship leader and songwriter Matt Redman will release his new album, Life & Breath, on October 3rd (Integrity Music). In his storied career with 20 albums, this will be his first ‘live-studio’ album as he highlights the heart of live worship in an intimate studio setting. The first song, “Let Me See Jesus / Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus,” released from Life & Breath, features worship leader Charity Gayle (“I Speak Jesus”).

“I’ve genuinely enjoyed leading this song; I can feel the people in the room connecting with the heartfelt message of the lyrics each time we lead it,” shares Matt Redman. “It serves as a sincere prayer to see and encounter more of Christ. Having Charity Gayle as a guest on this song is particularly special for me.

I have admired her songs from a distance, but over the past year, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know both Charity and her husband, Ryan. I sincerely appreciate their passion for Jesus and have great respect for how they carry the responsibility entrusted to them in the world of worship music.”

Life & Breath represents a return to the sacred essence of worship, emphasizing the importance of honoring God with every breath we take. Rather than relying on emotional expression or cultural trends, the album’s songs focus on the core foundations of faith, creeds, prayer, repentance, and reverence. It combines a sense of reverence with joy, merging theological depth with accessibility.

These new songs showcase timeless expressions of faith, including a track based on the Nicene Creed, which celebrates its 1,700th anniversary. Featured artists on the album include Charity Gayle, Joe L Barnes, CalledOut Music, and Quintin Trotter.

Matt Redman adds, “This is my first experience with a ‘live studio’ project. Usually, recordings are either done live in front of an audience or in a more controlled studio environment.

For this album, I aimed to find a balance between the two, creating a fully studio-based recording while still capturing the heartfelt energy that we experience in a congregation. We recorded this in Nashville and invited the Lipscomb University Gospel Choir to join us in worship, which created a truly special moment.”
