 Worship leader Kristian Stanfill is emerging as one of this generation's most compelling singer/songwriters. A writer of rare insight and vulnerability, he has the unique ability to build bridges over boundary lines that separate the hurting from the Healer. Consequently, the songs on ATTENTION, his sixstepsrecords debut, create an atmosphere of worshipful unity in this too often fragmented world. "A great worship leader must first be a great follower," Kristian asserts. "In order to lead people in worship you must first know how to listen to and follow the Holy Spirit. That is something I've been learning over the past few years, just by observing how people respond to what God is doing at any given moment." And as a worship leader at Alpharetta, Georgia's North Point Community Church, Kristian knows firsthand the ability of worship to usher in God's redemptive power.

 The Jeff Johnson Band is a talented group of guys who love music. More than that, they love the Lord and are eager to glorify Him with those they lead in worship. Believing that worship is a lifestyle and not just a category of music, Jeff and his band desire to facilitate an environment of intimate and true worship. In 2007, the band released their 2nd album Glorious Day. An original track on the record entitled “Ruin Me” began gaining success on national radio, bringing exposure to the band and their gifted songwriting. The band released 4 new original songs on their newest EP entitled Amazed. Jeff continues to write and create new music that will assist him in what he does. His passions continue to be meeting new people as they travel on the road, facilitating authentic worship encounters, and watching lives be changed forever through the power of Jesus Christ.

 We’re all aware of the opposite side of the equation, but what are you supposed to do when at first you do succeed? How should you react when the things you’ve been working for, individually and collectively, your entire young lives start to take shape? And more important still, how do you get back to that place of openness that jumpstarted that success when almost everything about your existence has changed? Simple. You stop, sit down and reflect on the Wonder Of The World. Two years can seem like a lifetime, or it can seem like it has passed in the blink of an eye. The core elevating factor of the band’s presence, much like on their debut record, is the commitment to lyrical innovation that showcases that willingness to strip the artifice of success away and focus their eyes (and through the music, the listener’s ears) on the one, true wonder of the world.Visit the Rush of Fools website. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ |

 "I have hidden Your word in my heart, that I might not sin against You." - Psalm 119
The glory of God is best revealed through His Word. When we begin to dig into the pages of the Bible, we will begin to see His glory revealed. Everything God has ever done, and everything He will forever do, He does with one intent: to reveal Himself and to receive honor and glory. All throughout the scriptures, we see the different attributes of a Holy God revealed to His people.
When it comes to sharing ideas, feelings and beliefs, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more potent vehicle than music. Needless to say when Mac Powell, the voice of Third Day and one of Christian music's top singer/songwriters, and David Nasser, one of the country's most passionate evangelists, decide to fuse music and scripture, the result is a truly special project. It is Glory Revealed: The Word of God in Worship.
The vision for the project began with Nasser, an Iranian born speaker/author, who, together with Powell, decided to produce a collection of songs taken directly from scripture. The pair wrote many of the songs and pulled the album together by calling on the artists including Michael W. Smith, Brian Littrell, David Crowder, Shane & Shane, and Casting Crown's Mark Hall, to contribute their talents to Glory Revealed.

 What do you think you could do for the Lord if you knew He'd use whatever you offered Him to do something great? Before King David was ever a great King, he was simply a boy with a Pocket Full of Rocks. Since 1995, the band Pocket Full of Rocks has been leading people in worship in venues all around the U.S. Their passionate delivery and prolific songs have carried people to deeper places in their worship. "Our desire is to create new expressions of worship that lead people to the heart of the Father. We want to be leaders in offering to the Lord whatever we have, to genuinely give our whole life as an act of worship. Watching what He'll do with it is the most amazing part of it all," explains Michael Farren. Pocket's music has turned up on numerous projects over the last few years, including "Let It Rain" which recently appeared on the Michael W. Smith Worship project as well as "Let The Worshippers Arise," recently recorded by Phillips, Craig and Dean. The band is comprised of Michael Farren (Lead Vocals and Writer), Alisa Farren (vocals), David Rollins (drums), Jody Crump (Bass), and Ryan Riggins (Electric Guitar).
