GRAMMY and Stellar Award winner Jonathan McReynolds releases the official music video for his newest single, “Your World” (MNRK Music Group).
“Your World” reminds the listener of God’s sovereignty – it’s a bop, intentionally upbeat, and happy. The song was written to help people lift the weights that hold them down. Known for bridging the gap between contemporary church music and the music of the past, Jonathan has included African American spiritual texts and the influences of Marvin Gaye. “Your World” will have listeners up moving and enjoying the beauty of God’s creation.
Jonathan McReynolds shares, “This song reflects my evolution and growth. I am not the same person I was when I wrote my first album. Now, I am secure enough to take more risks and remove any limits to my creativity. It’s God’s World, and we are just living in it!”

Provident Label Group/Sony Music announces the latest single from singer/songwriter Ben Fuller, “Chasing Rebels” today. Listen HERE. The song’s powerful music video is also out and can be viewed HERE and below. “Chasing Rebels,” along with Fuller’s debut single “Who I Am,” will be included on his debut album, Who I Am, which is available for PRE-ORDER now and set for release on September 23.
Like most of Fuller’s songs, the heartfelt ballad “Chasing Rebels” is an autobiographical look at who he used to be versus who he’s become through Christ. “I wrote this song with Tony Wood and Michael Farren…we were talking about how I’d been so rebellious and how God has a way of chasing rebels down. He’s coming for us. There’s nothing more powerful than seeing people’s faces when they hear that – He’s coming for you.”
Debuting with “Who I Am,” which is currently Top 10 at radio and rising, quickly showcased Fuller’s open-hearted honesty about how the love of Jesus can change your life. He’s open and honest about the darker side of his past, confident his life has changed for good. “This song is an anthem for me,” he shares. “It allows me to remind myself who I am. I left the old me. It’s a powerful song to watch people own for themselves and watch them shout it out loud. There’s nothing like kids and adults and everyone in between singing, ‘I’m a child of the most-high God and the most-high God is for me.’”
Fuller’s unflinching honesty about his past invites people to share their stories and personal pain with him, and he cannot wait to share “Who I Am,” “Chasing Rebels,” and more when he heads out on the road with labelmate Zach Williams this fall and Christmas. The “Zach Williams Fall 22 Tour” kicks off September 14 in Mobile, AL, and runs through Oct. 20 wrapping in Bartlesville, OK. The “I Don’t Want Christmas To End Tour” will be out through December. Visit the most updated tour schedule HERE.
