New EP from Stephen Miller - In God We Trust Tuesday, October 18, 2016 Stephen Miller is a pastor and artist who strives to enlarge people's view of God with the truth of Scripture and artfully provide a vocabulary to express thankfulness and praise to Him. He has traveled all over the world to preach and lead worship and is currently serving as a worship pastor at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. His new EP, In God We Trust, was sparked by the current events and issues that people are facing today in the United States. “Our nation is in a crazy season right now, and I wanted to put together a collection of songs that would encourage people through the turbulence," Stephen states. "To fill people’s minds, mouths, and memories with the truth of God’s word and encourage them that He is still sovereign, kind, wise, just, and completely in control. No matter what is going on in our nation and in our world, God hasn’t changed. His character remains the same. We can trust Him.” Through songs such as "Our God Majestic" which rejoices in God's unfailing promises and the album's title track, "King of All (In God We Trust)" which emphasizes His perfect plan and crowns Him King over all, we are reminded that our hope rests in the One who is greater than any circumstance. In God We Trust is now available on iTunes. We hope you'll check out all of the songs on this brand new release and consider adding them to your setlist.

He now serves as at Covenant Church in Dallas, Texas where he writes and leads with Covenant Worship. We are excited to feature his new solo album, All That Is Within Me, as our newest Indie Showcase. "A couple of years ago, I felt God calling me to set my heart on the idea of 'all,'" Nathan explains. "What does it mean for my life to truly give all of myself? What does it look or even sound like? My song has since lifted to a new place of freedom and I'm so thrilled to have captured that on this new album." All That Is Within Me is full of exciting and authentic worship including "I Will Bless" from which the album's title was drawn and "Rejoice," a rousing anthem of praise for our victorious King.
