As one of the most successful Christian touring artists today, Grammy winner Chris Tomlin launches his “Stories Of Worship Tour” tonight. Chris will lead the attendees in a night that is centered around reminding people through worship and storytelling, that no matter where you are in your journey God is faithful, He is present, and He is here for you. Tickets for the tour are available atchristomlin.com.

“This tour is unlike anything I have done before and I can’t think of better partners to be joining us than Jockey Being Family Foundation and For Others,” shared Chris. “Every night will be filled with worship, laughter, making memories, and sharing stories about God’s continued faithfulness. So, to have the opportunity to shine a light on the foster care and adoption crisis through stories is something I am incredibly grateful for.”

Jockey and its charitable foundation, Jockey Being Family, are partnering with For Others for the tour as advocates for kids and families affected by foster care and adoption.

Founded by Chris and Lauren Tomlin in 2019, For Others operates in the belief that all individuals deserve a safe and secure home. For Others strives to prevent vulnerable children from being placed into the foster care system and offers aid and services to help restore the lives of those already in the system. To do this, For Others focuses on creating relational permanency through reunification, adoption, and mentorship. So far, For Others has helped deliver over $40 million to those affected by foster care in the United States. In 2023, For Others will help to prevent more than 90,000 children from being placed into the foster care system; support more than 30,000 families who are currently in the foster care space through counseling and wrap-around care; work to connect 800-1,000 young adults who are aging out of the foster care system be connected to mentoring families; and help to fund nearly 1,000 adoptions.

“This is so much more than a regular concert tour,” says David Nasser, President of For Others. “Vulnerable children in each of the 27 cities we visit will benefit for years to come. We’re thrilled to see the impact of these gatherings go beyond a single night of music.”

As one of the most recognized apparel brands in the world, Jockey has been providing comfort and care to generations of families for more than 145 years. As a third-generation, family-owned company, Jockey believes that family is everything, and giving back and supporting families is woven into the fabric of the company. That belief and a legacy touched by the personal adoption story of its CEO and Chairman, Debra S. Waller, who was adopted as an infant, led Waller to start the Jockey Being Family Foundation by helping adoptive families stay together forever by raising awareness, funding, and support for post-adoption services. The Foundation believes every child deserves to grow up with a loving family in a forever home.

“Through Jockey Being Family, we are dedicated to supporting and strengthening foster and adoptive families on their journeys, so they can stay together forever,” said Jake McGhee, VP and Chief Philanthropy Officer, Jockey. “And that’s why partnering with For Others Collective makes so much sense; two like-minded organizations coming together to help children and families, forging a movement that can have a substantial impact.”

2023 “Stories Of Worship Tour”

America’s worship leader Chris Tomlin is returning to Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Friday, April 7 for his seventh annual Good Friday Nashville concert. Since its inception in 2017 Good Friday Nashville has continued to be a record setting night, from smashing attendance records by becoming the largest ticketed Christian concert in the history of the venue, to delivering an exclusive livestream in partnership with Facebook.

In 2020 and 2021 the concert became a virtual event allowing worldwide distribution through television and radio partners reaching 32 countries around the globe. Best-selling author and pastor Max Lucado will return to deliver a special message. Tickets available now at Good Friday Nashville.

“There is a passage in Hebrews 13 that I return to when I think about this night,” said Chris. “It says, ‘Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.’ That truly is the heart of Good Friday Nashville, for all streams of the church to come together, celebrate what God has done and is continuing to do in our city, and then give back to those most vulnerable in the community.”

Good Friday Nashville benefits the foster care and adoption crisis through ‘For Others’, a non-profit foundation created by Tomlin and his wife Lauren. ‘For Others’ aims to close the gap between children-in-need and capable care providers through raising awareness, maximizing resources and mobilizing communities.

During each of the previous Good Friday Nashville concerts, Chris has surprised attendees by inviting special guests including Rascal Flatts, Lady A, We The Kingdom, Lauren Daigle, Hillsong UNITED and others. This year will be no exception.

Good Friday Nashville is promoted by Awakening Events, who encapsulate the very spirit of this night.

“The work that is done behind the scenes for events like Good Friday Nashville is critical and those teams are often not recognized for their effort and support,” shared Chris. “It is incredible to see what happens when organizations like Awakening Events donate their time, energy, and expertise to an event that supports the foster care and adoption crisis.”

Good Friday Nashville is presented by K-LOVE, Air1, The Fish and WAY-FM.

Good Friday Nashville will take place during Tomlin’s “Stories Of Worship Tour” which launches February 23 in his home state of Texas, and is centered around reminding people through worship and storytelling, that no matter where you are in your journey God is faithful, He is present, and He is here for you. Tickets for the tour available at christomlin.com
