I truly can’t wait to see what God has for us as we gather with people in these rooms and lift up the name of Jesus. I’m praying for changed lives, encouraged spirits, healed hearts, and for God to have His hand of grace and love on the entire event.”

We are expectant to see God move in a powerful way and thrilled to have Hulvey join us this year.”

Hulvey’s career has skyrocketed over the last two years after his songs “No Longer Bound,” “Altar,” and “WALK” featuring GRAMMY Award winning artist Lecrae hit Billboard charts. Hulvey will begin each night with his hit songs and set the tone for an incredible night at each stop.

“I’m so humbled to be a part of this thing,” said Hulvey. “It’s such an honor to bring hip-hop to the stage in a way that we can all praise him with it. I’m most looking forward to hearing the stories about what God’s going to do in people’s hearts. There’s just no telling what God’s going to do.”

Brandon Lake, Phil Wickham, and Hulvey will see you out on the road for a night of worship you will never forget!

The tour is sponsored by World Vision. Spotify will also be executing its own Fans First pre-sale.

Patrick Mayberry Hits First No. 1 At Radio With Psalm 23-Inspired “Lead On Good Shepherd” Featuring Zahriya Zachary

Centricity Music singer, songwriter and worship leader Patrick Mayberry’s Psalm 23-inspired “Lead On Good Shepherd” featuring Zahriya Zachary becomes his first No. 1 radio hit on the Mediabase Christian Audience Chart. The song from Mayberry’s acclaimed, first full-length album, Wild Faith, was released to radio Aug. 4, 2023 and has since been a mainstay on radio and during his touring coast-to-coast across the US and beyond.

Produced by Mayberry and Jacob Arnold, and written by Centricity Publishing’s Mayberry, Paul Duncan and Frankie Orella, “Lead On Good Shepherd” begins with a Grand Ole Opry-worthy spirit before morphing into a foot-stomping rock groove, turning the peaceful passage into a roaring celebration. Gathering airplay on 101 reporting stations and named by Amazon Music in its “Best of 2023: Christian” playlist, the single also includes a special version featuring Crowder.

wildfaith

“Psalm 23 always gets used as a comforting Scripture at funerals when I think it’s just such a comforting verse for life. This Good Shepherd promises to walk alongside us every single step of the way — providing for us, protecting us, telling us to rest, leading us by still waters,” Mayberry says. “God’s track record has proven He’s a good and faithful shepherd, so I’m going to keep following, step by step. I’m going to trust Him, so lead on, Good Shepherd.”

Along with the single, Mayberry’s Wild Faith welcomes everyone with untamed melodies and astute lyrics, all artfully crafted and intentionally threaded together to take listeners on a life-changing journey. With songs that can serve a Sunday worship service while also delving deeper into the human experience, the album encourages every sojourner with the truth that they’re never alone.

Passionate about seeing people connect with the heart of God through music and corporate worship, Mayberry takes his new music and fan favorites on tour nationally. Joining Jeremy Camp last fall, he has also traveled across the country with Crowder, Cory Asbury, We The Kingdom and more. On Aug. 6, 2024, he will join Katy Nichole, Casting Crowns, Danny Gokey, Tasha Layton and others for the KLOVE Live at Red Rocks event.

K-Anthony Wins JUNO Award

“Winning the Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year at the 2024 JUNO Awards is an incredible honor, one that I never imagined when I began this journey” quotes K-Anthony. While deeply grateful for this recognition, he finds even greater joy in the opportunity to inspire and make a difference through his music.

Growing up in Falmouth, Jamaica, the rhythm of the rich Caribbean sounds deeply influenced my soul. From a young choir member to a budding musician, I found my voice by blending the vibrant sounds of my roots with an uplifting message honoring my Creator.

From the sunny vibes of Jamaica to the creative melting pot of Canada, my musical journey has been a rollercoaster ride! Countless struggles, unwavering devotion, and an enduring dream have brought me to this moment. Along the way, I’ve encountered numerous friends and supporters who kept me motivated.

The road to success is often winding, filled with long days and even longer nights. Yet, through every twist and turn, I’ve learned invaluable lessons – the power of patience, the importance of waiting on God’s timing, and the beauty of collaborating with incredible talent.

Through thick and thin, it’s been the unwavering support of friends and fans that has fueled my passion for music. Their stories uplifted and inspired me to create music that leads people to live
their most impactful lives while honoring God who blessed me with this musical gift.

Being selected for such a prestigious award like the JUNOS is a tremendous honor, and I am deeply grateful to be considered alongside some of the greatest musicians.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported me along the way – my family, friends, collaborators, and fans. Your unwavering belief in me has been the driving force behind this achievement. I know my mission is not complete, and I look forward to continuing to create innovative and uplifting music for years to come, hoping this award can serve as a foundation to share God’s message of love with all.

Lastly, and most importantly, I want to thank God, for without His grace and guidance, none of this would be possible. He has been my constant companion, my source of strength, and my ultimate inspiration. Thank you to the following people who all played a crucial role in the development of the Award-Winning Album titled Arrow. I couldn’t have done it without you:
– Kevin Winebarger
– Joshua Frerichs
– Chris Jackson
– P Tempo (Emmanuel Pule Mokhine)
– LMR (Lamar Reynolds)
– Mia Fieldes
– Josh Bronleewe
– Austin French

Chonda Pierce Releasing New Film, Roll With It

On March 26, 2024, Shout! Studios will release the highly anticipated comedy feature ROLL WITH IT, starring the groundbreaking comedic icon Chonda Pierce, on Digital, available for purchase and/or rent across all major entertainment platforms in North America.

This laugh-out-loud comedy film weaves an inspiring story of strength, survival, family values and faith, with Pierce playing a single mother who, with help from her friends, readjusts to life after the loss of her husband.

Written and directed by Chris Dowling (Blue Miracle, Acidman), Pierce leads an impressive cast that includes Judith Hoag (Armageddon, Nashville), McKaley Miller (Ma, Scream Queens), Evan Hofer (General Hospital, Dwight in Shining Armor), Carl McDowell (Ballers, Holidate), Mark Christopher Lawrence (Bringing Back Christmas, Family Camp) and other notables.

For Pierce, ROLL WITH IT is the latest project in a career whose highlights include platinum-certified comedy albums, regular performances at the Grand Ole Opry, and five Daytime Emmy nominations. She isn’t just the film’s lead actress.

She’s one of its main creators, too, writing the original script with her late husband David Pierce, and serving as executive producer with her longtime manager, Andrew Tenenbaum. Christian music legend Michael W. Smith, Shari Rigby, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and others make cameo appearances, but the real star of ROLL WITH IT is Chonda Pierce, who empowers her viewers to share the same roll-with-it resilience as her character, Bonnie Taylor.

Produced by Ben Howard, J. Clarke Gallivan, and Ken Carpenter, ROLL WITH IT has already delighted movie audiences and fans when the film premiered in theaters across the U.S. as a three-day event by Fathom Events. Moreover, the film garnered the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature at Dallas International Film Festival.

Movie Synopsis

ROLL WITH IT is a music-filled and heartfelt comedy built around southern comedy icon Chonda Pierce, who is beloved for her gut-level honesty and pointed humor. If laughter is the best medicine, Chonda’s character Bonnie Taylor could use an extra dose or two.

Not only is she dealing with an unexpected demotion at her job at the Biscuit Barrel and a young new boss willing to match her snark-for-snark, she also discovers her house will be on the auction block by month’s end if she can’t come up with $20,000 in back taxes. With her only hope being the grand prize in a karaoke contest, and with the support of her faith, family, and friends that are family, Bonnie must decide if she’s willing to sing for the first time without her late husband by her side to save the home they raised their family in. ROLL WITH IT is a down-home family comedy filled with music, friendship, laughter, and love—and a heaping helping of hope.
