Tyler Christian Roberts joins us today to speak into leading worship from a healthy place, drawing from his own experience as worship pastor at Red Rocks Church. He also shares the story of Red Rocks Church’s beginnings, finding God in unlikely places, and how the Church is not defined by its buildings or physical spaces, but by the presence of God in its people.

Charity Gayle | Name Above All Names

"Broken down on the side of the road in a tour bus during one of the most challenging seasons of our lives, my husband, Ryan, began writing down these words: 'the cross still stands, the blood still flows, the work is finished and hell still knows!' ‘Name Above All Names’ became an anthem for our family and a declaration of praise in the midst of the battle. No matter what trial we may face, Jesus is King and our hope stands in the finished work of the cross! We pray this song would be a victory shout for the Church as we sing, declare and exalt His victory over death, hell and the grave! He is Lord and worthy of all the praise!"

Christine D'Clario | Stories on Stories

“I consider this song to be one of the most special songs I’ve ever written or recorded. It’s the summary of my life, one full of testimonies of how God’s faithfulness has brought me through every season, the ones of deep dark pain, and the ones of healing and growth. I hope this will become an anthem of testimony, and a praise for the stories on stories we have to tell.” – Christine D’Clario

DOE | Holy Hands

The song, penned by DOE along with Jonathan McReynolds, Rickey Slikk Muzik Offord, Juan Winans, Kelby Shavon Johnson, Jr., Jesse Paul Barrera, Jeffrey Castro Bernat, and Timothy Ferguson, is a self declaration of self empowerment. "Holy Hands" reminds listeners that they are good enough in the eyes and heart of God.

Riley Clemmons | Church Pew

"I took a step back from music and creating to live life. I was able to pause long enough to rediscover what I loved and resonated with sonically and lyrically, as I began to allow myself the space to naturally evolve, change and grow. Church Pew sounds and feels like my DNA. I’m ready and excited for everyone to hear this new side of my heart, artistry and music. This chapter is going to be a special one.”

CAIN | Jesus Music

"We make music for Jesus because of the heroes who showed us how," Taylor Cain Matz, Madison Cain Johnson, and Logan Cain share collectively. "Our new song includes the titles of some of the greatest songs we’ve ever known - and now we get to celebrate that kingdom impact together."

Maverick City Music | The Maverick Way

"Our prayer for this EP is that every time someone hears these songs will be the EXACT moment they need to hear it. We believe these songs will meet you where you are at, in God’s perfect timing, ministering to you like only he can. We hope these songs help you in your darkest moments, bring you joy, unexplainable peace, and closer to God."

The Belonging Co | Pneuma

"So many songs we were writing and singing in church were full of lyrics describing the different aspects of Holy Spirit and lifting a hunger for more of Him in our lives. That’s where the title Pneuma came from, as it’s the Greek word for 'wind, breath, spirit, an invisible force. This album is full of songs of our need for the Spirit Of God but also songs of vertical praise and worship to The Lord. That’s always been the heart of our house, that we would have life changing encounters with God that would then lead us to lift up a praise that He alone deserves, and we pray this album does that for all who hear it." - Andrew Holt

Brooke Ligertwood | Desert Song

This worship anthem provides hope and perspective for anyone who has gone through a challenging circumstance in their life or faced a spiritual desert, as evident in the song’s soaring melody and powerful lyrics that declare the faithfulness of God: “All of my life in every season/You are still God/I have a reason to sing/I have a reason to worship.

Pat Barrett | Scatter

“It’s not always easy, its not always convenient, its not always effortless, but our praises are always powerful,” Barrett shares of the heart behind his new single. “And it should be no surprise to us…that when we praise, the enemy scatters.”

Cory Asbury | Pioneer

Pioneer has the singer “drawing influence from Nashville’s music scene." The project also “explores a new side of Asbury while maintaining honest and cutting lyrics that speak to the fragility of the human experience."

Brandon Lake | Coat of Many Colors

"Not every color of praise is a pretty one. However, it’s always worth giving. Praise laced in pain is a gift you can only give God on this side of eternity. Whether it’s from the 'pit' or the 'palace,' praise is always the best place to turn and best gift to give."

Travis Greene & Forward City Music | Strike The Ground

Grammy-nominated and Dove Award-winning Travis Greene has recieved recognition worldwide for his testimony & unique sound. STRIKE THE GROUND is his upcoming full-length project, which he describes as a faith album.

Zahriya Zachary | Surrounded By Holy

"Standing in the middle of the Redwoods, looking up at the massive trees around, you cannot help recognize the vastness. Surrounded by Holy is our response to being surrounded by the beauty and majesty of God. We lift our voices and declare he is Holy as we enter into His presence."

Gas Street Music | WOVEN: Live from the Coal House

"When we first started Gas Street, one of the first words spoken over us was that we would be 'Woven in worship.' As a community, all we say and do would have worship at the heart of it. These songs are woven together to reflect the full range of Christian experience in worship, from thanksgiving to lament, contending in prayer and longing for the glory of a God to fall. Our heart is that these songs would give voice to the community before us and beyond as we join the wider church woven together in unity by the Spirit to give glory to the Father through the Son."
