NRT Partners With Virtual Music Tours
Today, NewReleaseToday joined forces with Visible Music College and Madison Line Records to launch Virtual Music Tour, an online platform that will connect artists and bands with audiences worldwide for online concerts and events.

How can audiences that are physically challenged, chronically ill, socially anxious and fearful still connect with their favorite artists and the power of live music? How…

Nashville’s The Belonging Co Readies Anthemic New Single
NASHVILLE, Tenn.–“Holy (Song of the Ages),” the new anthem from Nashville-based The Belonging Co, will be available March 27. Inspired by John’s vision of worship around the throne of God in Revelation 4, the song was recorded live at The Belonging Co’s downtown Nashville campus and features their worship pastor, Andrew Holt. Co-penned by Holt, “Holy (Song of the Ages)” was birthed during a spontaneous moment of corporate worship as he began singing lyrics that would ultimately comprise the song’s bridge. The church’s lead pastor Henry Seeley and worship leader/songwriter Daniella Mason later joined Holt to complete the track. “It felt like God moving in that moment,” Holt recalls of…

The Cost of Discipleship
Every Christian is a disciple. In fact, the Lord’s Great Commission was to go into all the world and make disciples… teaching them to observe all that I commanded you. — Matthew 28:19-20 That means the mission of the Church, and the goal of evangelism, is to make disciples. Disciples are people who believe, those… The post The Cost of Discipleship appeared first on FaithGateway.

Let’s Pray
With all the stockpiling, the fear and the panic…with all the feelings of “will God be there for me,” “are we going to be okay” and “how long will this last…” — the heart of our feelings must be addressed. This is essential, because —denying (shoving away, pretending they aren’t there, ignoring) feelings does not help us feel good. It doesn’t work. Only God’s truth and promises can supersede the feelings trying to overrule us. Prayer is a divine interchange. It is a warm bath for our feelings. Through prayer, we cast what we carry on Jesus — and then He carries it. Think: Jesus, carrying the cross. He takes…

A Peace-Bringing Psalm
My son kept asking, “Mom, am I going be okay? How many people are dying? Will Coronavirus get us?” When he asked, his eyes darted left and right and his hands fidgeted with jerk-like motions. I tried to address every question, but head-knowledge hardly appeases a heart. He needed more… More than a know-it-all momma, he needed a heart-assuring Papa. Papa God. Fortunately, my little 8-year old found his way to Psalm 91. After reading it, a sense of calm fell over him and, he said, “I am going to memorize this whole thing.” He did. Then, he prayed it over himself and the virus. Quite suddenly, peace, power, and…

The Bad is Good
A friend looked at me and said, “With God, the bad is good.” Hmm…she had my wheels turning now… I wonder, how many of us can see the truth in her statement? The bad boyfriend that we, at one time, thought was good for us?We can see now, it is darn good that we didn’t marry him. The bad health scare that we figured would kill us?Well, it is good that we are still alive and, not only that but, we now have more faith than ever. The bad news that we lost our job? It is good that God repositioned us. We hated every minute of that job and…
