Featuring a stunning array of instruments, from the cello, piano, stripped-back drums, acoustic guitar and banjo, ‘All That I Need To Know (Fox Den Sessions)’ shines with Leslie Jordan’s generous heart and gentleness.
After almost ten years of being a part of All Sons & Daughters, she has been thriving in the writer’s seat since 2017 championing others to carry the songs they’ve written together.

The concept of this new EP shines with Leslie Jordan’s generous heart and open-mindedness. After almost ten years of being a part of All Sons & Daughters, she has been thriving in the writer’s seat since 2017 championing others to carry the songs they’ve written together.
But, as she explains, “occasionally there are songs that stick to me as well […] this is a collection of those songs.” ‘All That I Need To Know’ centers around the message that God is a safe place. Leslie embraces the doubts that come with the unrest we have all been facing since the birth of humanity, but especially in the last couple of years. She shares her journey of discovery that the Lord remains safe and unchanging through it all: “Looking back through my life, I know I can trust who God is,” she adds.
‘All That I Need To Know’ is made up of songs that deal with the nature and character of God; his goodness, consistency, presence, faithfulness, and power, as they are seen throughout scriptures, history and our lives. Each theme is developed on a sound bed of soft and detailed folk, with the artist’s smooth vocals rounding it off. Sonically, Leslie’s desire is for this project to not take up too much room, neither going too high or too low, but for these songs to be “good companions for where you are and where you’re going,” she concludes. With her new project, Leslie also reminds us that if God is a safe place, so should his people be. So should our music be. ‘All That I Need To Know’ seeks to create space for people to exist and belong without demanding anything, but simply allowing listeners to be and be reminded of who God is in the process.
Leslie Jordan – All That I Need To Know is available now.
Leslie Jordan presents her new deluxe single titled ‘Love Will Never Fail’. The new release includes the Nashville-based singer-songwriter and worship leader’s recent single ‘Great I Am’ as well as two new tracks, ‘Love Will Never Fail’ and ‘Found It All.’ The deluxe single’s title track was originally written for The Porter’s Gate 2019 album ‘Neighbor Songs’.
This project and community are close to Leslie Jordan’s heart as it focuses on important conversations around the embodiment of phileo love, as well as the division within the church around race. “Love Will Never Fail” is available now.
‘Love Will Never Fail’ is filled with straight scripture as it was crafted around the well-known Biblical passage 1 Corinthians 13. “We’ve heard it so many times at weddings, but I love thinking about it in the context of neighboring and how to love well,” Leslie says. Adorned with the artist’s soft vocals and a warm acoustic background, the new single gently challenges us to take on the example of Christ – the One who loves unconditionally and never gives up. “If love was our agenda, we would have a lot more beauty in the Church,” she adds. Leslie Jordan’s name has become synonymous with meaningful and ground-breaking worship music. She welcomes listeners into her space; one where songs are companions to those who embrace them wherever they may be at.

I think it’s in the car with your kids. I think it’s at a funeral for someone that you’ve lost that you love deeply. I think it’s at the top of a mountain that you’ve climbed or in the valley you’ve laid down in.”
“Great I Am” marks a new beginning for Leslie Jordan, not only musically but as an inspirational figure in the worship sphere.

The new single invites us in a universe of peaceful folk, where soft songs and strong messages are carried by the Leslie Jordan’s clean and warm vocals. The new single was written in 2019 in YWAM Kona, Hawaii, where the artist collaborated with the local team to craft songs for their community.
After appearing on YWAM Kona Music’s 2021 live album, ‘Great I Am’ quickly transcended its missionary context and stuck to Leslie. Its simplicity and the way it reflects who God is, not just his greatness but his nature too, is indeed catchy and touching.
The delicate tune points to the Lord’s consistency despite the seasons we seem to go through; our ever-changing lives cannot be compared to his enduring nature. With this new version of ‘Great I Am’, Leslie Jordan hopes to serve more people, as she concludes: “I believe in songs for the church, because church isn’t only on Sunday morning and Wednesday night. I think it’s in the car with your kids. I think it’s, at a funeral for someone that you’ve lost that you love deeply. I think it’s at the top of a mountain that you’ve climbed or in the valley you’ve laid down in.” ‘Great I Am’ marks a new beginning for Leslie Jordan, not only musically but as a safe and inspirational figure in the worship sphere.
