Nashville, TN (March 27, 2019) Kansas-City-based singer/songwriter and worship leader Laura Hackett Park was inspired by the greatest Artist of all time when writing her newest song, “Artist,” which is set to release April 5th.

Amanda Lindsey Cook ‘House on a Hill’ Review
Amanda Lindsey Cook House on a Hill (Bethel Music) Late last November, after wiping her Instagram profile clean and posting a puzzle of vague images, Bethel Music worship leader Amanda Lindsey Cook shared a picture of a handwritten letter explaining her year of absence from social media. “I had to go quiet for a while, without an announcement about going quiet… I may have some things to say in the coming year.” Indeed, she does. Her first solo album in four years, House on a Hill is a beautiful work of worship born in the silence and a celebration of God’s unfailing, ever-present love. You might know Cook best from…

My God will:
My kids.My husband.My family. Saying, “my ___” has real value, signifies ownership, belonging and love. A friend of mine, when God breaks through says, “My God.” As He shows up, she speaks, “My God!” As if He did it just for her. . . Her words touched me; He did do it just for her.

When he got there, he called out in anguish, “Daniel, servant of the living God! Was your God, whom you serve so faithfully, able to…

March 27 – Final Episode (For Now)
So, I got some bad news to share, folks. Seems CCM Magazine is making some pivots and changes to its content strategy, which means this show — as well as the amazing Features on Film series with Andrew Greer — aren’t going to continue. That news was a big bummer to me, to be sure. We’ve had more than 70 episodes with some incredible artists — and with you, the audience, too! It’s been awesome. We’ve asked questions and had conversations together that couldn’t be found anywhere else. It was good work and I’m super proud of it. But hey, things change, y’know? And about a year ago, I was…
