Pop singer/songwriter and recording artist Sean BE stands poised to enter a fresh season of music and ministry with the autobiographical new track “Step Into My Story,” available now from WieRok Entertainment/Syntax Creative. The hope-fueled anthem—penned by Sean BE and multi Dove Award-winning hit songwriter Tony Wood—chronicles the artist’s own journey of surrender, offering encouragement for all who struggle.
“’Step Into My Story’ is a prayer against pride,” Sean BE shares. “Pride can lead us to believe we can make it on our own; it will make us keep trying until we’ve made a huge mess and end up in places we never wanted to be. This song is my prayer asking God to prevail over pride. I hope people who have been there—like I’ve been—will pray this with me. Once we give our story to God, He gives purpose to everything we’ve been through, showing us that ‘we didn’t come this far, just to come this far.’”
A former children’s pastor and youth leader whose high-energy live performances have captivated audiences around the country, Sean BE’s mission is to inspire a new generation to find their identity in Christ.
“I want my music to create an environment of joy, inspiration, and encouragement everywhere I go, and I want my life to be proof that God can give direction to a wandering heart, humility to a prideful spirit, and forgiveness to a broken past,” he adds. “My desire is to be an example to the next generation, letting the world know that God has a purpose for all our lives. He can use every situation—good or bad, past or present—if we follow where He’s called us.”
Three-time GMA Dove Award-winning worship leader, singer-songwriter, author and podcaster Christy Nockels releases “Abide” today (June10) on Keeper’s Branch Records with global distribution via The Fuel Music. Available now at digital and streaming outlets worldwide via https://slinky.to/AbideCN, “Abide” marks the first single from this acclaimed worship artist’s new album slated to release this fall (title to be announced).
Prior to recording the song, Christy led “Abide” at the recent IF:Gathering women’s event. After hearing stories of how the song ministered to those attending, inspiring them to live with a posture of complete surrender to God, she was encouraged to release the song herself with her producer and husband, Nathan Nockels (Passion, Matt Redman, Laura Story).
“I hope ‘Abide’ rises up in you like an anthem in these days,” says Christy. “I believe that our yielded and surrendered lives—even our complete dependency upon Jesus for everything—is the posture of our hearts that He loves the most!
“I am so very honored and excited to get to release ‘Abide’—a song that I’ve come to love over the past few months!” continues Christy. “It’s very rare for me as a songwriter to connect with and release a song that I didn’t write. That’s how much I believe in it and the message it carries!”
Written by Aaron Williams and Aaron Keyes, Christy first heard “Abide” during a Dwell Songwriting Retreat where she met Williams and his wife. Invited to lead and teach at the retreat with her husband, Christy discovered that she and Nathan had kindred spirits with the Williams’, each with a heart to bring theology and beauty together in the form of songs for the Church to sing in this season.
You’re the way the truth and the life You’re the well that never runs dry I’m the branch and You are the vine Draw me close and teach me to abide (“Abide” chorus lyrics.)
Vineyard Worship’s latest release ‘Awaken Us’ is the first single from their forthcoming EP, ‘Room At The Table’ (releasing August 2022).
The new single has a communal feel about it and was written during a collaborative songwriting retreat in Brighton, UK by Vineyard Worship’s Harmony Smith and Jonny Riggs alongside Integrity Music’s Nathan Jess. ‘Awaken Us’ is an anthem for Church services and campfires alike, a rousing call for the Spirit of God to reinvigorate hearts and souls.
The message of the new Vineyard Worship song will strike a chord with many after the collective struggle of the last two years; asking God to revive us through this sung prayer is a humble and powerful statement! With lyrical simplicity and a soundscape that grows from folky vibes to expansive worshipful pop, ‘Awaken Us’ makes space for a reciprocal experience–where one can take hold of the limitless life of Christ and rest in faith of His unfailing nature. ‘Awaken Us’ features Bernie Ditima’s (Trent Vineyard) warm and dynamic vocals and was produced by Rich Dicas.
Leslie Jordan’s name has become synonymous with meaningful and groundbreaking worship music. The Nashville-based singer-songwriter and worship leader unveils new songs, starting with ‘Great I Am’, which welcomes listeners into her space; one where songs become companions to those who embrace them wherever they may be at.
The new single invites us in a universe of peaceful folk, where soft songs and strong messages are carried by the Leslie Jordan’s clean and warm vocals. The new single was written in 2019 in YWAM Kona, Hawaii, where the artist collaborated with the local team to craft songs for their community.
After appearing on YWAM Kona Music’s 2021 live album, ‘Great I Am’ quickly transcended its missionary context and stuck to Leslie. Its simplicity and the way it reflects who God is, not just his greatness but his nature too, is indeed catchy and touching.
The delicate tune points to the Lord’s consistency despite the seasons we seem to go through; our ever-changing lives cannot be compared to his enduring nature. With this new version of ‘Great I Am’, Leslie Jordan hopes to serve more people, as she concludes: “I believe in songs for the church, because church isn’t only on Sunday morning and Wednesday night. I think it’s in the car with your kids. I think it’s, at a funeral for someone that you’ve lost that you love deeply. I think it’s at the top of a mountain that you’ve climbed or in the valley you’ve laid down in.” ‘Great I Am’ marks a new beginning for Leslie Jordan, not only musically but as a safe and inspirational figure in the worship sphere.
David & Nicole Binion introduce their new single today, “The Mighty Chorus,” featuring worship leader John Wilds (Jesus Image, Bethel Music), also accompanied by an audio video, which is featured below.
Written by David Binion and Mitch Wong, the song is based on Revelation 5 and how our mandate – our earthly assignment as worshippers – is to draw others into the presence of the Lord, singing “the mighty chorus.”
David & Nicole Binion, based in Dallas, Texas, remind worshippers that each time we come boldly before the throne of God with humble and undivided hearts in authentic worship, we tap into the dimensions and dynamics of God’s presence. “This is not just a prediction of worship in some future reality [but] an empowering for the people of God to experience Heaven on earth now,” David concludes.
“The Mighty Chorus” kicks off a series of singles and live concerts from the Binion in partnership with TBN. Later this year, the network will present “The Revelation of Jesus,” a song-by-song musical experience telling the story of the person of Jesus Christ with each chapter of the book of Revelation.

GRAMMY-nominated band MercyMe has released their next highly-anticipated single, “Then Christ Came.” The award-winning group launched the new song across all streaming platforms on Friday (6/3), alongside an official lyric video — watch HERE.
Radio friends were the first to hear the track when the band debuted it live at the annual Christian Music Broadcasters’ Momentum Conference in Orlando last week. “Then Christ Came” is set to impact radio July 8.
Two years in the making, “Then Christ Came” was originally slated for MercyMe’s tenth studio album, inhale (exhale). However, frontman Bart Millard and his co-writer, David Leonard, didn’t finish the track in time. Yet, knowing it was already a special song, the band included a brief, incomplete demo of the chorus on their latest project. Recently, Millard revisited the lyrics and finished the song with friends Jason Ingram and Phil Wickham.
“We are just so excited with how it turned out,” Millard shares of the hard-fought offering. “Sometimes we over-complicate things trying to come up with new, creative ways to sing about Jesus. But the message of this song is simple in that it’s about who I was before, and then Jesus showed up, and now everything has changed. We love how it turned out and hope you like it, too!”
MercyMe is set to share new music, as well as plenty of fan favorites and chart-topping hits, when they return to Red Rocks for one night only, Oct. 17, 2022. The engagement will mark the band’s second time to headline the iconic venue.
Listen to “Then Christ Came” across all platforms HERE.
