Ron Bell and CM3 are one of Gospel music’s rising groups.  Founder Ron Bell started the group from his church choir and other choir members in the Dallas, TX community in 2012.  CM3 is an ensemble of singers and musicians, but Bell’s vision was to create an outreach movement focusing on ministry beyond the walls of the church.  Christian Ministry Music Movement (CM3) was birthed.

CM3 has thirty members who are dedicated to the core.  The dynamic group has ministered in prisons and correctional facilities, rehabilitation centers and nursing homes,  community centers and for the homeless.  CM3 has performed multiple times as the special guest artist at House of Blues in Dallas, TX.  Ron Bell and CM3 released their debut singles “You Can’t Have My Joy” featuring James Henderson and “Without The Lord” featuring Drea Randall in 2020.  This year, the vibrant singers followed up with their debut EP THE MINISTRY, THE MUSIC, THE MOVEMENT.

Ron Bell and CM3 offer their powerful voices on an all-new single, “It Is Well”.

Ron Bell shares his inspiration behind the single “It Is Well”.  

“It Is Well came about by the complex troubles of a multitude of events occurring in this country and around the world.  The Covid-19 Pandemic, the increasing number of sickness and death, financial woes, job loss, poverty, police brutality, and massive racial injustices set my pen into action.  Though we were in desperate times, and needed desperate majors, there weren’t any answers or signs of relief.  I found myself clinging desperately to my faith, my beliefs, and my trust in God, which I knew was the only thing that would and could sustain me.  No matter what may come my way, I’ll just be still and know God is always there. It is Well with my Soul!” 

“It Is Well” features vocalist Lawyer Turner and is available on all digital outlets.  The single is also impacting Gospel radio now.  

With songs like “It Is Well”, CM3’s purpose is to declare the Gospel through song, testimony, dance, and intercessory prayer and offer hope and love to those in need.  Many will never step foot into a church, and others have walked away from the church. CM3 fosters the responsibility to go into the hedges, highways, and byways to compel men, women, and children to come and know Jesus.  That is the assignment…CM3 is the Movement!

“Hebrews 13:8 says, ‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever,’ and that is the heart behind my new song ‘Always’” shared Chris. “The God we read about in the scriptures… The God of signs and wonders is the same God we worship today and is the same God we put our trust in for the future.”

The song “Always,” co-written by Chris, is uploading to Christian radio immediately and adding to radio airplay on May 13. The 2-track single is available now at all digital retailers and can be found HERE.

Chris continued, “I have always tried to write songs that help give people a voice to worship God and my prayer is that when people hear this song, their faith is strengthened, and they are reminded of the steadfast and unchanging hope we have in God.”

• “Always” – (writers) Chris Tomlin, Jess Cates, Daniel Carson, Jeff Sojka, Ben Glover
• “YAWEH (No One) [with Elevation Worship]” – (writers) Chris Tomlin, Steven Furtick, Jason Ingram, Chris Brown 

Always” follows recent single “God Who Listens,” featuring country artist Thomas Rhett, and Chris’ 17^th #1 single (that reigned for six consecutive weeks) “Who You Are To Me,” co-written with and featuring Lady A. Both songs are from the 2020 Chris Tomlin & Friends album that debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Christian Albums Chart and #9 on Billboard’s Top Current Albums Chart. A companion EP was released last summer with four additional songs.

This spring, Chris will headline ‘Good Friday Nashville’ on April 15th in between legs of the 20+ city ‘Tomlin UNITED’ tour and play back-to-back concerts at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver on May 23 and May 24. This will be Tomlin’s fifth visit to the iconic Colorado venue, after becoming the first Christian artist to headline two consecutive nights; he repeated history in 2019. His GFN concert returns to Bridgestone Arena after postponing an in person shows in 2020 and 2021 due to the global pandemic. Since its inception in 2017 GFN has sold out each year and smashed attendance records by becoming the largest ticketed Christian concert in the history of the venue and continuing to accomplish similar feats each year.  Plans are currently in place for Chris to continue the Good Friday concerts indefinitely. Tickets for all concerts available at christomlin.com.

Sis. May Marcillina Madueke, a woman of God, an educationist, and a gospel musician of repute. She’s out with a new song, “How Do We Unite“.

The latest song, “How Do We Unite” is the fourth track off her 9th Album.

Due to church politics and bickering, not only in the Christian fold but in the world over, I wrote and sang this song to teach people to love, tolerate and let others live their lives in freedom. Unity and Love, that’s my objective – She said

The song is a world-class danceable package, that brightens someone’s mood.

Collective Soul celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2019, releasing their 10th studio album to critical acclaim. Blood debuted at No. 3 on Billboards Alternative Albums chart, helping inject new material into the bands live sets. I think Blood is the beginning of a lot of good music to come, singer and songwriter E Roland said after its release. I think its the best weve ever done. The band had rocketed to fame with the 1993 Shine, the lead single to the multi-platinum album Hints Allegations and Things Left Unsaid.

Switchfoot has sold nearly 10 million copies worldwide, releasing their 12th full-length album interrobang in August of 2021. The album was recorded in a burst of pent-up mid-pandemic creativity in 2020 and 21. They have performed sold-out tours in front of millions of fans in over 40 countries following their breakthrough 2003 double-platinum album The Beautiful Letdown, which helped launch the band with a string of alternative radio hits. In 2011, Switchfoots seventh studio album Hello Hurricane won the Grammy for Best Rock Gospel Album.

This Friday, artist and worship leader Allie Murphy releases “Better Things,” her new single written to encourage mothers like herself to find joy in all things – even the mundane.

Inspired by Ephesians 2:10 and 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12, Murphy originally wrote, “Better Things” as a personal cry out to God. She felt stuck in the tension between her dreams and callings for both creativity and motherhood for many years. Murphy believes the little moments in life that lead to the sometimes draining feeling of being a mother can be viewed as tender moments raising the future generation and beauty in the sacrifice.

“You see, the folding of the laundry and the wiping of little hands is an act of creation,” said Murphy. “In caring for these souls, I am helping to grow and nurture the Kingdom of God. Perhaps this is the greatest creative act I’ll ever be engaged in. It matters.”

Murphy’s own husband Mike Murphy and Blue Sky Studios helped produce the inspirational single. The entire team hopes the song encourages listeners to choose joy in the better things, diligently going after God in the journey He has called them to.

Days are long and all the years they go too easy
But life’s a dance of choosing joy no matter what it takes
OHHH I’m done chasing wind, I’m done
The better things, I’d rather choose, I’d rather choose
I’d rather choose the Better Things

Murphy is excited to release a lyric video full of snippets of the everyday life of motherhood. She plans to promote and share her story as a mother and songwriter on all of her existing platforms.When listeners around the world hear this song, they will be lifted up to see that the little things matter because God sees, cares and made them for this.
