Bethel Music collective member and Gold certified singer-songwriter Josh Baldwin has released the official performance video for “Every Hour” from his latest EP, Narrow Road – Acoustic Sessions.

Hulvey and Forrest Frank release the music video for “Altar.” This generous follow-up to “No Longer Bound” offers inspiration to a young generation to experience the love of God.
Listeners will find a familiar worship tone this time over a more melodic, trap sound. “Altar is a song that is getting back to the heart of what this life is about. Knowing our Father. It is a reflection of His grace we don’t deserve,” says Hulvey.
Singer/songwriter/survivor Benny DiChiara and his chart-topping indie Christian rock band, Empowered, have released their new music video, “Jesus Can Heal the World.” The new video drops just as the band’s previous single, the moving ballad, “I’ll Meet You There (Daddy’s Song),” written in tribute to DiChiara’s father who died from cancer in 2020, reached No. 1 on Indiegospel.net’s Top 20 Songs chart in April 2023.
The “Jesus Can Heal the World” video was filmed in the band’s hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It was directed by Richy Long, with special thanks to the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge. The song was produced by Mikey Howard for Love Journey Music.
“Jesus Can Heal the World,” written by DiChiara and his Dove Award-nominated co-writer, Mikey Howard, lead singer of 7eventh Time Down, is the first single and video from Empowered’s latest EP, Yahweh Nissi, from Slingshot Records.
“It was an honor and a privilege to collaborate with Mikey Howard, our album producer, on ‘Jesus Can Heal the World.’” says DiChiara. “Basically, it’s what we feel the world needs to hear right now. With all of the evil and unrest that seems to prevail in today’s world, it’s the hope of hope. It’s Jesus. And only He can heal the world.”
DiChiara and Howard, who is also the writer of 7eventh Time Down’s No. 1 Billboard chart-topper, “God is on the Move,” recently performed “Jesus Can Heal the World” as a duet on the main stage of Louisiana’s Yes Fest, where Empowered shared the stage with Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes, and 7eventh Time Down, among others.
Leeland shares the official music video for “Jacob’s Ladder” feat. Rita Springer. The track is from the duo’s latest album, City of God, which dropped earlier this year.
‘City of God’ unpacks three layers of the project’s foundational Scripture in songs of hope for the midst of trouble, songs of intimacy and safety, and songs of God’s justice. Initially sparked in the chaos of the pandemic, the inspiration is for it to be a prophetic oeuvre making space for meditation.
It also captures the profound power of art to invite people inside a divine world brought alive through music, pushing conversations around artistic pursuit forward within the Church.

Leeland infuse beauty and truth into the culture through their new project, re-telling stories of old with sharp creative flair. They embody a priestly and innovative dynamic as ‘City of God’ strikes the balance between a conceptual album and a trailblazing, congregational source of new songs for the Church of today. They hope these new songs will inspire the people of God back to the treasures of Scriptures and the mysteries of God’s ways. “We pray this album helps open a new window into the glory of God; that we would get a vision of Jesus and hear him say ‘fear not, stand up and let me show you the things that are to come,’” Mooring concludes.
Jonathan McReynolds shares the official music video for “Overrated.” The track is from his latest project, My Truth.
Earlier this year, McReynolds released his brand-new full-length album. My Truth marks the fifth album release from the current 54th NAACP Image Award nominee. In celebration of My Truth, McReynolds has embarked on an 11-city tour, which kicked off in Orlando, FL on April 13th. The MY TRUTH TOUR is in partnership with Compassion International.

GMA Dove Award-winning worship leader and songwriter Amanda Cook is bringing more new music to the marketplace today with her latest collection, SURVEY: Part 1(listen HERE). The five-song EP follows her spring 2022 album, State Of The Union.
Sharing more in-depth aboutSURVEY: Part 1, the ever-creative Cook states, “I love the idea of surveying the landscape of one’s life, ideas of God, emotions, faith, hopes, disasters, fears, joys, the list goes on and on.
There’s such a beauty to the humility that comes with embracing our humanity, our limitations, our smallness in the grand scheme of things, with curiosity. I hope that this music becomes a companion to your own curiosity, your own long walks, and ventures into the soul of our own being.“
A new music video is out for “There’s Nothing,” which can be viewed above. To promote today’s release of SURVEY: Part 1, Cook held an EP pre-release show in Hollywood, CA, this past Monday.
During the special event, she held an intimate conversation with the audience followed by an exclusive live acoustic set. She is also slated to perform at Big Church Festival in the U.K. at the end of the month and in July for the annual Heaven On Earth Festival in Jackson Hole, WY.
She recently wrapped 11 dates touring with Bethel Music to support their recent album release, where she’s featured on both “The Great Beyond” and “Precious Blood.”
