Matthew West Launches Pre-Order For New Book ‘My Story, Your Glory’

Author and multi-award-winning artist and songwriter Matthew West will release My Story, Your Glory, his sixth book, on March 19, 2024 (K-LOVE Books). He wrote this 30-day devotional to help guide readers to discover how God’s love can rewrite our stories and explore how God’s glory redeems every chapter of our lives.

With My Story, Your Glory, which was inspired by his hit song and No. 1 album of the same name, it is West’s goal to help readers reflect on the less-than-perfect parts of their lives and to point them to examples in Scripture and how God redeemed their stories while encouraging them to give God the glory in both the best days and worst days.

Along with sharing his own experiences throughout the book, My Story, Your Glory reveals how God brings hope into all situations and that He will work all things together for the good of those who love Him.

mystoryyourglory

“There is nothing more inspiring and uplifting than witnessing stories of God at work in people’s lives,” West exclaims. “Our testimonies of God’s faithfulness have the power to embolden each other, carry each other through hard times, and change the world.

This is a devotional about your story…a guide to help you remember that your story is being written by the Master Storyteller and that you are here on this earth for a very important reason: to give God glory. Each day challenges you to consider a new truth of what God is currently doing or has done in your life, and to turn the focus of your life toward the glory of the One who loves you.”

Beginning today, the book is available for pre-order by visiting MatthewWest.com or wherever books are sold. As an incentive, those who pre-order will receive additional perks, including an exclusive virtual launch party.

West concludes, “When you complete this devotional, my hope is that you will have a journal that documents God’s enduring presence in every chapter of your story – a written testimony that you can go back to again and again whenever you need encouragement. I’m excited to spend 30 days with you learning how to craft, share, and live a more meaningful and fulfilling story with the one life we get to live. It’s your story for His Glory.”

Chris Tomlin’s “Good Friday Nashville” Returns For Eighth Consecutive Year At Bridgestone Arena

Grammy winning artist and America’s worship leader Chris Tomlin continues to make history returning to Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Friday, March 29 for his eighth annual Good Friday Nashville concert, the venue’s longest running annual charity related concert. Tickets available now at Good Friday Nashville.

Chris, whom the Tennessean claims is ‘as much a faith leader as a songwriter, able to parlay his faith in spirituality into influential and popular music,’ has invited Willie Robertson, best known for starring in and executive producing A&E’s Duck Dynasty, to deliver a powerful Easter message.

It was also announced today that CCM powerhouse Kari Jobe will be joining Chris as a special guest and more exciting guests will be announced soon. Good Friday Nashville will also continue the annual tradition of including special surprise guests which have previously included the likes of Rascal Flatts, Lady A, Lauren Daigle, CeCe Winans, Hillsong UNITED, and many others.

“For the last seven years I have had the humbling opportunity to watch what God can do in a community when we gather together to look upwards towards Him and outward towards Others.  From people’s faith being reignited to innocent children finding forever families, Good Friday Nashville has had a powerful and lasting impact on our community and year 8 will be no exception,” shared Tomlin.

“And of course, we can’t forget all the incredible guests that will join us… Kari Jobe and Willie Robertson are just the start!  We have more exciting announcements coming soon… and you are not going to believe the surprises we have lined up for the night!  I hope you grab tickets and join us for this incredible moment – I have high expectations for what God will do.”

Since its inception in 2017 Good Friday Nashville has continued to be a record setting night with sold-out concerts and smashed attendance records which have helped it to become the largest ticketed Christian concert in the history of the venueGood Friday Nashville also reigns as the longest running annual charity related concert at Bridgestone.

In 2020 and 2021 Good Friday Nashville became a virtual event due to the pandemic allowing worldwide distribution through television and radio partners reaching 32 countries around the globe. In 2022 and 2023 global audiences were again reached through exclusive livestreams with Facebook and YouTube.

Jaime Jamgochian Taps Genre-Spanning Luminaries For Long Awaited ‘Sacred Surrender’

Boasting a lineup of genre-spanning special guests, Sacred Surrender is set to bow March 22 from Dove Award-nominated singer/songwriter Jaime Jamgochian. Featuring collaborations with some of the artist’s longtime friends and peers, including beloved trio Selah; singer/songwriter Ginny Owens; Christian radio favorite Citizen Way; Southern Gospel standout Joseph Habedank, and The Belonging Co worship leader and singer/songwriter Andrew Holt, Sacred Surrender marks Jamgochian’s first release in nearly four years.

With 10 tracks all co-penned by Jamgochian, the album features songwriting contributions from Kenna Turner West, Citizen Way’s Ben Calhoun, Rebekah White, Jay Speight and Selah’s Todd Smith, among others. Sacred Surrender was produced by Andrew Bergthold (We the Kingdom), John Strandell, Tommy Iceland (Poets & Prophets), Chris Bevins, and Mckendree Tucker.

Hallmarked by Jamgochian’s effervescent vocals and memorable melodies, Sacred Surrender opens with “Gonna Be Good,” a joyful pop anthem encapsulating the project’s mission. “The overall theme of the record is surrender—letting go and choosing to live an abundant life, even in the empty spaces,” she shares. “Surrender is the only path to peace, relinquishing what we want and totally trusting that God’s got it, even when we don’t see it.”

unnamed 18

“I want to see people encounter the love of God in these songs,” Jamgochian adds. “I want them to feel hope, because when I first met Jesus, that’s what I felt. I didn’t know the Bible that well, but I felt hope. I felt peace like I had never known.”

Sacred Surrender is punctuated by an array of standout collaborations, including “Coming Back Again (Holy, Holy, Holy)” with Citizen Way; “Our Father,” an impassioned anthem featuring Selah and inspired by The Lord’s Prayer; the buoyant “If God Wrote A Song” with Joseph Habedank; the Andrew Holt-featured “Visions,” a prophetic ballad that was among the first songs Jamgochian led in worship after becoming a Christian; and the compelling “By Heart,” an affirmation of God’s faithfulness showcasing Ginny Owens.

The poignant title-cut rounds out the project, Jamgochian’s stirring personal declaration offering a fitting final sentiment: So take my life/I’m giving it all to You/Whatever You want me to do/ I’m gonna follow You.”

“The older I get, I don’t want complicated; I want simple faith, simple trust in God, and simple songs that people can easily sing over and over again,” she explains. “I want to write faith declarations that move people closer to God and move them out of fear into faith, out of anxiety into peace, and out of emptiness into abundance.”

Passion Announces Releases “The Lord Will Provide” From Upcoming Live Album

Sixstepsrecords / Capitol CMG’s Passion announces the group’s newest live album, Call on Heaven, releasing March 1 with the pre-save/pre-order available today. In anticipation of the forthcoming album, Passion released a new song, “The Lord Will Provide,” led by Landon Wolfe and written by Brett Younker, Jess Cates, and Chris Davenport. This song is a reminder that we can trust God for the future and seek the Kingdom today, despite life’s uncertainties, because we know He has everything that we need.

The sold-out Passion Conference returned to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in their home of Atlanta, GA with more than 55,000 in attendance. This year’s conference had a special atmosphere captured in the upcoming live-recorded album, Call on Heaven

The new album also features a live version of “He Who Is To Come.” In December, this song was released as a studio version featuring Passion’s Kristian Stanfill and GRAMMY-nominated worship leader Cody Carnes. Since its release, the song has had more than 1.7M global streams and was the No. 1 song on Amazon’s Worship Now playlist for six weeks.

Call on Heaven is the sound of a generation desperate to see Heaven’s reality of ceaseless praise become the reality of Earth,” shares Passion’s Kristian Stanfill. “What we experienced at Passion 2024 marked all of us forever. We’ll never forget the glimpse of God’s holiness, the weight of His glory, or the sound of His people singing, ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come.’ God indwells in this recording and we pray for a Spirit of wisdom and revelation to follow wherever these songs go. To God be the Glory!”

For more than two decades, the Passion movement has gathered students and leaders from across the nation and world to begin the new year with a singular purpose of glorifying God and uniting in worship, prayer, and spiritual awakening.

Drew & Ellie Holcomb ‘Brick By Brick’ EP Coming Feb. 14

Drew & Ellie Holcomb are excited to announce that they will be releasing their new Brick by Brick EP this coming Valentine’s Day – the same day the duo kick-off their Feels Like Home US headline tour. News of the EP comes with the release of the achingly beautiful title track “Brick by Brick”. The song opens with the sounds of an acoustic guitar and is anchored by the warm tones, subtle twang, and alluring cadence of the pedal steel as well as Drew & Ellie’s harmonies.

“‘Brick by Brick’ tells the slow and steady kind of love story that heals us and invites us back home to ourselves. This is the love I’ve known in Drew, and I’ll be forever grateful for it. I loved writing this song with my talented friend, Taylor Leondhart. I’m a big fan of her music, and what a joy to become friends and find in her a kindred spirit.” – Ellie Holcomb on “Brick by Brick”

brickbybrick

The new EP is their first new music since 2023’s “Bones” single that followed 2022’s Coming Home: A Collection of Songs album – featuring songs the duo had written over the years along with new single “Coming Home,” a cover of Willie Nelson’s “On The Road Again,” and a re-recorded version of fan favorite “Hung the Moon.” When asked about the new Brick by Brick EP Ellie shared…

“I love anytime Drew and I get to make music together. It feels old and familiar, and new all at the same time. Drew’s been traveling a lot on the road, so this batch of songs is a combo of ones we’ve written both apart and together, and I couldn’t love them more. These songs embrace steady love, dancing, and mystery, so naturally, I’m a big fan.”

Drew & Ellie Holcomb first met while Drew, a native Memphian, and Ellie, a native Nashvillian, were attending school together at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. When Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors originally formed in 2005, Ellie was a full-time member.

The couple married in 2006 and in 2012, Ellie left the group to pursue a solo career that has seen her release three studio albums of her own, including her critically acclaimed 2021 LP Canyon, and three children’s books along with accompanying albums and her adult devotional book Fighting Words. Drew and the band released nine studio albums, including their more recent critically acclaimed Strangers No More LP in June 2023 that produced the No. 1 Americana single “Find Your People.”

While pursuing separate and equally successful career paths, the couple has continued to collaborate personally – adding three beautiful children to their family – and professionally – putting on annual sold-out Christmas shows, releasing an album, singles, and an EP plus some touring along the way. Catch Drew & Ellie Holcomb live on their Feels Like Home tour in February 2023, listen to “Brick by Brick”.
