(July 16, 2019) -- Multi award-winning artist and songwriter Zach Williams has announced his fall headlining tour, "The Rescue Story Tour." The 20-city tour will begin in Syracuse, NY on October 10 and conclude in Anderson, IN on November 10, and includes a special stop on November 3 at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium. "The Rescue Story Tour," which will feature special guest artist Josh Baldwin of Bethel Music, is sponsored by Compassion International and Christian Healthcare Ministries. Williams has also announced a unique aspect to his headlining tour just for the fans - the "VIP Meat & Greet" experience! For an additional fee, at select tour dates the "VIP Meat & Greet" will be held prior to the concert where fans can join Williams for an exclusive full-course gourmet meal prepared by Paul Fields, a professional chef from Napa Valley, CA. VIP attendees will also be given specialty gift bags, premium concert seats, photo opportunities with Williams, and much more. Find out more by clickinghere. It was last month when Williams released "Rescue Story," the new single from his upcoming studio album slated to release this fall. He recently shared the story behind the new song, "I think it is going to be relatable to people because everybody has their own rescue story. Mine is the same as anyone who's been in a hopeless place, and then they found Jesus." He is excited to share "Rescue Story" live on the road with the fans, along with more songs from the new album as well as from his GRAMMY®-winning debut album Chain Breaker and GRAMMY-nominated album Survivor: Live From Harding Prison.

  • An Examination of Contemporary Christian Music Success Within Mainstream Rock and Country Billboard Charts Megan Marie Carlan
    Pace University DigitalCommons@Pace Honors College Theses Pforzheimer Honors College 8-21-2019 An Examination of Contemporary Christian Music Success Within Mainstream Rock and Country Billboard Charts Megan Marie Carlan Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.pace.edu/honorscollege_theses Part of the Music Business Commons An Examination of Contemporary Christian Music Success Within Mainstream Rock and Country Billboard Charts By Megan Marie Carlan Arts and Entertainment Management Dr. Theresa Lant Lubin School of Business August 21, 2019 Abstract Ranging from inspirational songs void of theological language to worship music imbued with overt religious messages, Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) has a long history of being ill-defined. Due to the genre’s flexible nature, many Christian artists over the years have used vague imagery and secular lyrical content to find favor among mainstream outlets. This study examined the most recent ten-year period of CCM to determine its ability to cross over into the mainstream music scene, while also assessing the impact of its lyrical content and genre on the probability of reaching such mainstream success. For the years 2008-2018, Billboard data were collected for every Christian song on the Hot 100, Hot Rock Songs, or Hot Country Songs in order to detect any noticeable trend regarding the rise or fall of CCM; each song then was coded for theological language. No obvious trend emerged regarding the mainstream success of CCM as a whole, but the genre of Rock was found to possess the greatest degree of mainstream success. Rock also, however, was shown to have a very low tolerance for theological language, contrasted with the high tolerance of Country.

    March 21, 2021 11:15 a.m. Gathering Song Worship Band Announcements Rev. Jason Christ, Associate Pastor Welcome Rev. Dr. Charles E. Whited, Jr. Preparing for Worship (Stand) Leader We worship our great God in His Triune name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. People Amen. Confession and Absolution Leader When God created the world, He called it good. When He created man and woman in His image, He called them good. Yet we look around and see evil in the world and in people. We see it in ourselves as well. That evil is the result of sin. In our arrogance and pride, we disobey God and it results in death. But Jesus came to forgive our sin and give life in place of death. When we confess our sin, God forgives. So let us confess our sins to God our heavenly Father now. Leader Loving Father, You have told us to worship You and You only. We are sorry for those times we have placed other things above You in our lives. We now silently confess those times to You. (silence for personal confession) Leader Great God, You created us to live in relationship others. You have told us love our neighbor as ourselves. But we have failed. We have had opportunities to help others and not acted. We lay those times before You now. (silence for personal confession) Leader Almighty God, You have told us not to lie; to not gossip; to not lust; to not kill or hate; to not be jealous of others. But we have.
