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.

“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.”

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.”

Good Friday Nashville benefits the foster care and adoption crisis through ‘For Others’, a non-profit organization created by Tomlin and his wife Lauren. ‘For Others’ aims to be a voice for the vulnerable by living out their mission of raising awareness and empowering best-in-class organizations to end the child welfare crisis in America.

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 venue. Good 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.

Good Friday Nashville is promoted & produced by Awakening Events who have enjoyed a 18-year touring relationship with Chris and generously donate their time, energy, and resources to this concert each year. Good Friday Nashville is presented by K-LOVE, Air1, The Fish and WAY-FM.

Today (Feb 5), Brandon Lake shares “Nothing New (I Do) – Wedding Version” featuring his wife, Brittany Lake.

5X GRAMMY Award-winner Brandon Lake debuts a new version of a familiar song with the help of his wife, Brittany Lake. Today marks the couple’s 13th wedding anniversary. “Nothing New (I Do) – Wedding Version” is now available to stream/download. “I decided to change a few words and make it a love song for Brittany Lake,” Brandon shares on social media. The accompanying music video can be seen below.

“Nothing New” is a featured track from his latest album, COAT OF MANY COLORS, which catapulted to the top of the Billboard Christian & Gospel Albums Chart on debut week.

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.”

“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.”

Singer/songwriter and GMA Dove Award nominee John Tibbs is kicking off the month of February with his take on “Lover.” You can hear his cover of the Taylor Swift mega-hit below.
