Singer, songwriter and author Jason Gray releases his second book, Words & Music by Jason Gray: Devotional Essays and Stories From a Life in Songs. The 468-page hardcover includes every song he has released across his 21-year career as a Centricity Music artist. Through the real-life vulnerabilities, heartbreaks and moments of grace behind his discography, Gray traces his personal and spiritual journey.

In Words & Music, Gray pairs a devotional essay with each of his 134 songs, inviting readers into a pilgrimage through faith, doubt, hope and the slow art of allowing oneself to be loved by God. Rather than simply explaining the lyrics, Gray invites readers into the questions, struggles, and discoveries behind them — not to offer easy answers, but to offer companionship for their own journeys. Gray writes with the intimacy of a journal, the honesty of a friend and the care of a seasoned minister, exploring how God’s strength is revealed through weakness, how doubt can be an essential part of faith, and how every wound can become a place where light gets in. Each entry reaches beyond its song to the shared ache and wonder of authentic belief and the unfailing love that finds us again and again.

“It’s the lyrics and the story behind every song I’ve ever released and a little of what I’ve learned along the way about being human,” shares Gray about the book that has been a labor of love for him over the last four years. “I wrote it with the reader in mind. Every word I wrote, I imagined people reading it and hoped I could offer something of what’s been helpful to me. I’m so excited to share it. It’s part devotional, part memoir, part music book, part career retrospective.”

With a foreword by John Mays, retired Centricity Music president of A&R, and a topical index to support devotional study, Words & Music explores how people’s understanding of God changes as they live through experiences they never anticipated. For example, “With Every Act of Love,” Gray’s first No. 1 Adult Contemporary hit, was written amid professional success and personal crisis, especially the collapse of his marriage. “Nothing Is Wasted,” Gray’s first No. 1 single on inspirational radio, was inspired by his lifelong struggle with a severe stutter and his belief that God could redeem even the hardest parts of our stories.

Other songs like “Remind Me Who I Am” grew from Gray’s realization that shame, insecurity and internal and external voices can erode our sense of identity by telling us we are not enough. “I’m Gonna Let It Go” explores a paradox of surrender: trying to control outcomes can promise safety while undermining peace and trust in God, drawing from the experience of his son’s recent life-threatening battle with leukemia. “Sparrows” was inspired by Gray’s own struggle with anxiety and the universal tendency to worry about the future. “Blessed Be” explores how Gray’s lifelong sense of being an outsider — marked by a stutter, humble beginnings and feeling unqualified — became the foundation of his calling.

While authoring the story behind these and all the other songs in Words & Music, Gray was inspired to compile and release his Greatest Hits album and to reimagine his 12 biggest-ever songs for Greatest Hits (Acoustic). The 12 original recordings — including the six songs highlighted above — have collectively accumulated well over 131 million streams to date. A special bundle featuring Greatest Hits (Acoustic) and Words & Music is also available through Gray’s webstore.

Songs featured in the book and on Gray’s “Greatest Hits” albums, include:

1. Blessed Be

2. More Like Falling In Love

3. I Am New

4. Remind Me Who I Am

5. Good To Be Alive

About the milestone, SCC reflected:

“10,000 children helped home to families. 10,000 reasons to praise the Lord!

When Mary Beth and I first dreamed of what God could do through Show Hope, we hoped to help 100 children come home to loving families. Now, 23 years later, we’ve seen God do more than we could have ever asked or imagined.

That’s the heart behind my new recording of “10,000 Reasons/Greater Things.” This is more than just a cover of a song I’ve loved for years. It’s a special version celebrating the greater things God has done through Show Hope, giving us 10,000 very real, tangible reasons to praise Him for His goodness and faithfulness! A special thank you to my friends Matt Redman and Jonas Myrin for writing this incredible song that so beautifully captures what we’re celebrating. I’ve added a special ending called “Greater Things” inspired by our experience of the “immeasurably more” that Ephesians 3:20 talks about.

Christian rock pillar Kutless has officially stepped into a bold new era of ministry and artistry with their latest single, “God I Don’t Know” (feat. Calsum), available now across all digital streaming and download platforms via New Legacy Records.

Marking the band’s historic first independent release following an iconic, 25-year relationship with BEC Recordings that began with their signing in late 2001 and their self-titled 2002 debut, “God I Don’t Know” serves as both a landmark milestone and a testament to fresh creative beginnings. The deeply personal track was co-written, recorded, and produced by Kutless frontman Jon Micah Sumrall alongside his son, Caleb Sumrall (performing under the stage moniker Calsum), creating an intergenerational sonic bridge that tackles doubt, perseverance, and unwavering faith.

Anchored in Hebrews 11:1 (“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”), the single was born out of raw vulnerability during one of the most challenging seasons of the Sumrall family’s lives.

“How do we navigate seasons where we feel alone and maybe even feel abandoned by God? Even throughout the Psalms we see this kind of questioning and lamenting,” shares Jon Micah Sumrall. “The past five years have been the hardest of my life, and our family has been through a lot. My son brought this chorus to me, asking, ‘God, where are you? Are You even there? Do You even care?’ We wanted to be honest with our struggles, but as we worked through it, I felt strongly that we needed to be reminded of the hope we have rooted in Christ.

“Caleb was still sitting in the place of wrestling, which led to a two-hour conversation about God, doubts, and faith,” Sumrall continues. “Faith is the bridge between where we are and what we know to be true. Once circumstances change, it’s no longer faith — it’s just facts. In that moment, we both had this terrible and wonderful opportunity to exercise true faith: to put our trust in God even when we couldn’t see how we’d get through. This song is a product of our journey and our daily decision to trust that He is there.”

The creative partnership proved to be deeply transformative for both father and son in the studio.

“It was such a privilege to get to write and record this song with my son,” adds Sumrall. “This has honestly been years in the making. As Caleb was growing, he was pushing me and reminding me of the passion I had for music when I was his age. His perspective shifted lyrics that I believe will connect deeply across multiple generations. I couldn’t be prouder of his heart and how hard he’s worked.”

The compelling story behind the track caught the attention of global movement I Am Second, who sat down with Jon Micah and Caleb Sumrall for an in-depth episode on the Live Second Journey podcast to explore their cross-generational creative bond, walking through deep valley seasons, and discovering genuine faith in the middle of hardship. 

Looking back on a quarter-century of chart-topping radio hits, over 3 million albums sold, and global tours, Sumrall reflects with deep appreciation on the foundation that launched Kutless into Christian rock history while looking forward to what lies ahead:

“I am super thankful for the many years with BEC Recordings. We wouldn’t be where we are today without the many years of working together. The modern landscape allows us to connect directly with listeners and operate with full agility. This song was our proof of concept — that we can forge our own path, own our music, and utilize partnerships more efficiently. It’s incredibly exciting to think about all the possibilities as we take this step.”

Long-time fans have plenty to anticipate heading into 2027. Fresh off a standout international performance at Germany’s Loud and Proud Festival this past September, Kutless is actively booking tour dates and in discussions with major summer festivals. In addition, the band is preparing to head back into the studio with a deep vault of newly written material co-crafted with Caleb Sumrall, signaling a steady rollout of new music on the horizon.

Adds StowTown Records Director of A&R Mary Alice Lovelace, “Beyond the artistry, there is a sincere passion to serve and inspire others, and we are excited to help champion that calling and the impact it can have on the Church and beyond.”

“We’re Letting Hope In” is the first single from the Jason Lovins Band’s full-length StowTown Records debut slated for release next year. “I’m not sure anyone has ever signed a record deal on their 12th album, but here we are opening a new chapter with StowTown, and we couldn’t be more excited,” Jason Lovins says. “StowTown understands who we are and what we do.

Landon said to me, ‘I don’t want to change anything you are doing; I just want more people to know who you are so let’s partner to make that happen.’ That was all I needed to hear. We are so excited about these songs and can’t wait to share them with the world!”

Tracks, chord charts, choral arrangements, and other assets for “We’re Letting Hope In” will be available from StowTown Worship Resource, enabling church music teams to utilize the powerful anthem in a variety of corporate worship experiences.

Nigerian Gospel singer Ogocity has released a new single, “Thank You Jesus (Live),” marking her return to music after a two-year release hiatus.

Released on Friday, November 6, 2026, the song is the first of five tracks from a live recording project filmed in Abuja in 2024.

According to details accompanying the release, “Thank You Jesus (Live)” was inspired by Ogocity’s personal expression of gratitude for the life, sacrifice and finished work of Jesus Christ. The song centres on the Christian message of salvation and the believer’s response to God’s love.

It opens with the lines, “Thank You Jesus for living for me, Thank You Jesus for dying for me,” before moving into a declaration of worship: “Take all the glory, take all the praise, take all the honour, it belongs to You.”

Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Ogocity said Gospel music represents her service and response to what Christ has done for her.

“Gospel music, to me, is not about me. It’s about my service and my response to what Christ has done for me. In all situations, give thanks, for this is the will of God,” she said.

The five-track project was recorded in Abuja in 2024, following more than two months of rehearsals involving musicians and vocalists. Its release was delayed by technical difficulties and other setbacks.

Ogocity is expected to release four additional songs from the live recording project in the coming months.

Born into a musical journey that began at the age of three, Ogocity started her professional music career in 2017 after training as a lawyer. She transitioned from urban music to Gospel with “Citizen,” featuring Gerald Bishung, in 2022. Subsequent releases include “I Am,” featuring Dr. Flourish Peters, in 2023, and “God Good,” released in March 2024.

With the release of “Thank You Jesus (Live),” the singer begins a new phase of her music career, with further releases from the live project expected to follow.
