Michael Farren/Integrity Music album “Fighting For Us” on WorshipTeam

Michael Farren has released “Fighting For Us” through Integrity Music and all songs are now loaded into WorshipTeam.com “Fighting For Us” is a recording of some great new songs.

A crisis of faith isn’t something Michael Farren, a worship pastor and Dove Award winning songwriter and producer, ever expected to experience 25 years into his walk with Christ. But two years ago, this son and grandson of Baptist preachers found himself in the middle of the “darkest season” of his life. So Farren, who has penned songs recorded by everyone from Lauren Daigle to Reba McEntire, began writing the songs he needed most at the time. Those songs – folksy, Americana-tinged modern hymns and laments – became Fighting For Us, Farren’s first solo album, available globally October 5 through Integrity Music.

Produced by fellow songwriter Hank Bentley (“Tremble”/ “First”), Fighting For Us delivers 11 songs woven around themes of belonging and identity, including the title track of which Farren says, “I’ve never needed a song more.”

Farren, who is the former front man for the worship band Pocket Full Of Rocks and a worship pastor based in Franklin, Tennessee, says recording an album was never on his agenda. After Pocket ceased recording and touring, Farren settled into his role at his local church and continued doing what he loves most – writing for his own congregation.

“I’ve always written for the 700 people in front of me at my church,” says Farren. “If songs were cut by other artists, great. But the songs that have driven me most through the years are the ones I wrote for the people I serve. Otherwise, I hold songs loosely… my songs always seemed to be for someone else.”

Then, two years ago, Farren found himself in the midst of deep disappointments, family struggles and feeling as though the God he’d always served had abandoned him. It was during this period of God’s silence that Farren met with fellow songwriter Krissy Nordhoff for a songwriting session. Rather than the song he’d planned on penning that day, Farren says “Fighting For Us” just “fell out as we wept.”

At times raw and often confessional, each song on Fighting For Us holds special meaning for Farren. From the opening declaration “I Belong To Jesus (Oh Hallelujah)” and modern hymn “Oh Praise (The Only One)” to the bluesy radio single “Prisoners” and call-and-response of “Where Is God?,” each song reflects Farren’s walk through and out of the fire. Adding the perfect benediction to the project is the simple, quiet promise found in “Loved And Known.”

Every heart that has run away / Has doubted the distance that Your love would go
But every heart finds out the same / We’ve always been loved and known

“I’m a pretty solid guy, been around church my whole life,” says Farren. “And yet I am shocked that I have asked some of the questions that I’ve asked of God in the last couple of years. Things I would never have imagined that I would have wrestled with. And that is kind of the whole point of all of this… of this album, of these songs. It is giving people permission to ask the hard questions.”

“Lament in the truest sense, in the safety of a holy place, with safe people, allows you to grieve,” explains Farren. “You can lament, wrestle, kick and scream. And then you walk out of it… true, holy lament will always reorient you to the One who can give life and hope and peace, the one who rewrites our hearts.”

In addition to guest writer Krissy Nordhoff, Fighting For Us includes songs co-written with Matt Redman, Hank Bentley, Corey Voss, Dustin Smith, Tony Wood, Alisa Turner and Ben Shive. The project also features a version of “Come Alive (Dry Bones),” a song that Farren co-wrote with Lauren Daigle, presented here with a roots backdrop of banjo, mandolin and pedal steel.

David & Nicole Binion/Integrity Music album “Dwell: A Live Worship Experience” on WorshipTeam

David & Nicole Binion has released “Dwell: A Live Worship Experience” through Integrity Music and all songs are now loaded into WorshipTeam.com “Dwell: A Live Worship Experience” is a live recording of some great new songs.

Dwell: A Live Worship Experience, a 14-track immersion in Spirit-sensitive, multi-cultural and multi-generational worship.

Recorded live at TBN’s Dallas studios where the Binions serve as guest hosts for the network’s “Praise!” program, Dwell invites worshipers to do just that: put aside distractions and dwell in the presence of God. The project is, as the Binions’ music and ministry have always been, a product of collaboration, creative excellence and decades of servant-leadership. And that is what listeners will hear woven through every track on Dwell, which features guest artists Tasha Cobbs Leonard, William McDowell, Travis Greene, BJ Putnam and the Binions’ 17-year-old daughter and fellow Integrity artist, MDSN (Madison Grace Binion).

Produced by David Binion and Daniel Lopez, Dwell offers songs penned by the Binions along with MDSN, Mitch Wong, Michael Farren, Krissy Nordhoff, Aaron Lindsey, Jacob Sooter and Josh DuFrene among others.

The Binions are passionate about bringing together people from all walks of life for the creative process and to simply soak in and respond to the presence of God. That longing for God’s presence and fellowship with one another permeates Dwell. Songs such as “My Soul Follows,” “Be Still and Know” and “Hunger” – the latter co-written by and featuring MDSN – speak to the almost visceral need for God in an age of disillusionment.

It is this longing in the hearts of Jesus-followers and this vision for making room for the Spirit to move that drives the Binions. Married for 24 years, the couple has been involved in ministry for over two decades, teaching and leading worship for churches and events around the world. Most recently, they founded Dwell Ministries to mentor and train a new generation of worship leaders, and they are planting Dwell Church in the Dallas area.

“To dwell in God’s presence is a state of the heart,” says David Binion. “It’s not about where you are physically… you can ‘dwell’ in the presence of God in church, at your desk, in your prayer closet, in your car. It’s about a hunger for the things of God and for His presence… the need to soak, be transformed and empowered to change our world.”

Martin Smith/Integrity Music album “Love Song For A City” on WorshipTeam

Martin Smith has released “Love Song For A City” through Integrity Music and all songs are now loaded into WorshipTeam.com “Love Song For A City” is a live recording of some great new songs.

Integrity Music announces the global release of Love Song For A City, the first live album from groundbreaking British worship artist, songwriter and producer Martin Smith.

Featuring 13 tracks recorded in 11 countries across an 18-month span, the project captures the passion and excitement of thousands of worshipers representing different cultures, ages and church backgrounds. Love Song For A City includes worship favorites like “Majesty” from Smith’s days as frontman for the modern worship band Delirious? along with his solo work and new songs like “Forever Yours” penned with members of the Bright City worship team at his home church in Brighton, UK.

“When we’ve sung a million love songs, we’ll have only just begun…”

A musical declaration of God’s love for His children, Love Song For A City is also a reflection of Smith’s own love for the local church around the world.

“I’m convinced that if God wrote a love letter to a city it would be addressed to every occupant by name,” says Smith. “It would note every dream, reference every sadness, highlight every secret act of kindness and be filled with reminders of His endless love.”

“And every page would be drenched in holy tears,” he adds. “Tears spiked by the pain of separation and the injustice that exists. So as we sing, we are fighting for what is right. As we dance, we connect with each other. As we shout, the walls come down… so keep singing. Keep singing over your family, over your neighborhood, over your city, because this world needs it.”

Here Be Lions/Integrity Music album “Only A Holy God” on WorshipTeam

Here Be Lions has released “Only A Holy God” through Integrity Music and all songs are now loaded into WorshipTeam.com “Only A Holy God” is a live recording of some great new songs.

Integrity Music welcomes the Nashville, Tennessee-based collective Here Be Lions founded by pastor, worship leader and songwriter Dustin Smith (“God Who Moves The Mountains,” “Miracles”).

Here Be Lions takes its name from the ancient mapping tradition in which explorers marked unknown, dangerous territory with a symbol and the phrase “Here Be Lions.” Originally meant as a warning, the phrase has become a call for the Here Be Lions team to advance God’s kingdom and authority. They do so through focusing on discipleship, music and community with three ministry outreaches: Be Fierce, a discipleship resource for families, All About Worship, a worship resource for churches, and Healing Is Right, a resource for the sick and hurting.

The Here Be Lions worship team, including Smith, his wife Jeanna, James Galbraith, Jordan Clause, Jeremy Weedman and Garner McGregor, aspires to create music that welcomes the power and presence of God in expectation of salvation, healing and restoration. Only A Holy God delivers 12 songs of reverence and repentence written around the character of God and the forgiveness and wholeness found in Jesus.

Working with producer Jacob Sooter (Vertical Worship), Here Be Lions recorded the album live with guest vocalist Amanda Kinner and a small group of worshipers at Weston Barn near Kansas City, Missouri. Songwriters for the project include Smith, members of the HBL team and guest writers Sooter, Stu G (Delirious?), Joshua Silverberg (The Belonging) and Chris Quilala (Jesus Culture).

“Take us into the Holy of Holies, into the place where kings take off their crowns.
We’re overwhelmed by the weight of Your glory. You’re lifted higher as every knee bows down…”

“Only A Holy God is the sound of a people declaring that the God of miracles is still at work today,” says Smith. “Who else can heal? Who else can set people free? Who else can raise the dead to life? Only a Holy God! Our hope is that this would be an anthem for the most powerful voice on the planet… His church.”

Integrity Music announces the global release of Speak To The Storm, a new live album from LIFE Worship, the creative arts ministry of LIFE Church, a multi-site congregation based in Bradford, UK, with campuses in Leeds (UK), Belfast, Northern Ireland and Warsaw, Poland. The 13-track album was penned by members of the LIFE Worship team, providing a musical snapshot of the teaching, spiritual formation and community found at LIFE, which is pastored by Steve and Charlotte Gambill.

Speak To The Storm takes its title and overarching theme from Mark 4:35-41 (“even the wind and the waves obey him”) says Pastor Charlotte Gambill: “We all have storms… the raging winds and waves that paralyze us. Loud lies of lightning and thunder that cast us in the shadows of fear and uncertainty. But everyone also has a voice, and our words have power.”

“With these songs, we hope to put words and melodies, statements of faith in your heart for when those storms come because the wind and waves obey only one name,” she adds. “And the same power that raised Jesus from the dead now lives in us!”

Produced by LIFE Worship’s John Rees and Sem Schaap, Speak To The Storm features team members Aaron Baxter, Jock James, Eby Corydon, Amy Haguma and Matt Hooper (writer of “We Believe”) among others on lead vocals.

“Each song represents the real-life stories happening in our church family,” says worship pastor Aaron Baxter, whose voice can be heard on lead single “Miracles Happen.” “They are songs of salvation, healing, provision. We are singing about what we are living and believing for our church and cities.”

The 11-track album, recorded last fall at “The Gathering” conference and produced by Willie Weeks (Passion, Matt Redman) and Jimmy James (GuvnaB, LZ7), delivers songs of prayer and praise, capturing moments of elation and awed reflection from the crowd. From opening track and invocation “Pray,” through first single “All For Love (Gethsemane)” to “Waves” and the benediction of “Hope And Glory,” each song carries the urgency of the title track for more of God’s Spirit and Kingdom in the here and now.

“The oldest prayer of the Church is ‘Come Holy Spirit,’ and it’s a daily prayer for us,” says Hellebronth, director of Worship Central. “We recognize the need to ‘go on being filled’ with the Spirit of God, who gives us life and always leads us to Jesus. The more we see of God’s power in our lives and church, the more we want to keep asking Him to stir our passion for Him… it’s a constant cycle of worship.”

“Our hope is that these songs communicate and express something of the work of the Spirit in our own lives and churches,” he continues. “There is always more with God and we’ll be so happy and honoured if these songs help to stoke the fire of worship in hearts, lives, communities and churches.”

Alisa Turner/Integrity Music Single “Safe” on WorshipTeam

Alisa Turner has released “Safe” through Integrity Music and the song is now loaded into WorshipTeam.com “Safe” is a recording of a great new song.

Nashville, Tennessee-based singer, songwriter and worship leader Alisa Turner knows firsthand the comforting peace of Jesus in the midst of suffering. Her own battle with Lyme Disease and struggle with chronic pain have taught her the transformative power of praise and the beauty of God’s grace for each moment. Turner shares this truth and captures the sigh of a trusting heart in new single “Safe”, available February 23.

There’s no shadow, there’s no shame, no need to numb the pain | There’s nothing to explain
Only kindness with no boundaries | Mercy that surrounds me | Love that sings my name… Safe

Writing with Dove Award winning songwriters Michael Farren (“Trust In You”) and Tony Wood (“Jesus Only Jesus”), Turner delivers “Safe” as the first single from a full-length album due to release in late spring. The project follows her critically-acclaimed, self-titled EP from last summer and includes selections from the EP along with new songs penned with Farren, Wood, Jesse Reeves and Leslie Jordan (All Sons & Daughters) among others.

“We wrote ‘Safe’ during a time when I felt completely out of control,” shares Turner. “As we sat writing an entirely different song, one of my co-writers asked me, ‘what word comes to mind when you think of God?’ and I responded instantly with, ‘safe’! God is where and who I go to when I need to be covered and reminded that I’ll be okay. He is the peace that stays, our steady ground, protector, provider, constant. He is close to you and me, always!”

Known for piano-driven psalms and hope-filled, modern laments such as “My Prayer For You”, “As It Is In Heaven” and current radio single “Not Even Now”, Turner’s music always points listeners back to the God whose love and faithfulness never fails.

“I’m not healed yet, but I trust His love for me,” says Turner. “And I’m thankful that I have the opportunity to share with others who are going through similar situations, to invite them to worship in the middle of their pain. To stand on a stage night after night and worship… I can’t think of a better way to heal.”
