| 4D CHRISTIAN THEATER OPENS AT THE CREATION MUSEUM, DEBUTING POWERFUL SHORT FILM, IN SIX DAYS
Film Allows Visitors to be Immersed in Creation, and Experience Genesis 1 As Never Before
|
| PENSACOLA, FL – To celebrate the opening of The Creation Museum’s brand-new, world-class 4D Special Effects Theater, Creation Today has created the short film IN SIX DAYS, a 22-minute animated cut of the award-winning feature film GENESIS: PARADISE LOST. By combining stunning RealD 3D animation, epic orchestration heard on state-of-the-art sound systems, and special effects that include rumbling seats, strobe lighting, and other surprises, the extraordinary 4D theater takes audiences to an unmatched level of understanding and entertainment. Creation Museum guests are already raving about the unique cinematic experience of IN SIX DAYS. Donning infrared 3D shutter glasses, viewers are vividly transported to the first 6 days of the universe, making them feel as if they were there: watching plants spring from the ground, planets and stars form in the heavens, the waters bring forth the sea creatures, and Adam and Eve explore the beautify of Eden. Ken Ham, Founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum, states, “With the new 4D theater at the museum and other upgrades, I believe our guests will be dazzled by all the new technology. It will greatly help us teach biblical truths, starting with Genesis.” The full-length, RealD 3D version of the film released on over 1,200 screens last fall and was nominated for 6 top awards, including winning Best Director of a Documentary at the 2018 International Christian Film Festival. GENESIS: PARADISE LOST and IN SIX DAYS are only a fraction of the many endeavors to fulfill the Creation Today mission: impact the world to KNOW and DEFEND their Creator-GOD! Eric Hovind, Founder and President of Creation Today, explains, “We saw the opportunity to create an experience that goes far beyond just reading about the creation account in Scripture. The Creation Museum’s 4D theater experience allows a multi-sensory experience that will leave a lasting impact on the viewer. I guarantee you will look at Genesis 1 with new eyes after experiencing IN SIX DAYS!” GENESIS: PARADISE LOST and IN SIX DAYS are part of Creation Today, a Bible-based 501(c)(3) apologetics ministry committed to excellence and the spread of the Gospel. For the past decade,Creation Today has been on the front lines of the creation vs. evolution controversy, apologetics, and evangelism. The 4D Special Effects Theater is located at The Creation Museum, 2800 Bullittsburg Church Road, Petersburg, KY 41080. Tickets and more information can be found at: https://creationmuseum.org |

INSPIRATION WORSHIP RELEASES FULL-LENGTH DEBUT ALBUM, POWERFUL, TODAY FROM RADIATE MUSIC
Sep 2, 2018 Artist Updates
First Radio Single, “Take Me,” Going For Ads Now; CCM Premieres Video, NewReleaseToday Offers Free Song Download
New Radiate Music artist and Michigan-based Inspiration Worship, featuring songwriter, vocalist and cancer survivor Linda Doane, globally releases its full-length debut Powerful today (Aug. 31) from Radiate Music. The new, 12-song album that carries Linda’s mission to share the gospel and God’s power in her life, is available at iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon.com, Spotify and more digital and streaming outlets everywhere.
Along with the new album, Inspiration Worship has released the lead single, “Take Me,” to radio while CCM Magazine premiered the song’s lyric video and NewReleaseToday.com offers the track as a free download.
“‘Take Me’ was inspired by a Scripture I had written in marker and hung in my office: Matthew 10:7-8,” shares Doane. “‘And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.’ Every time I read about the miracles of Jesus and the disciples, it inspires me to keep pressing into the Lord and offering everything I have to Him because that’s the kind of Christian walk I want—a powerful one.”
Less than a year ago, Linda had been given two to 12 months to live as she battled Stage IV Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Feeling what it was like to not take a normal breath for six long weeks in 2012, she realized the simple, profound gift of breathing. Now in full remission following her third bout with cancer, she is using her breath to praise God, revealing a confident, courageous creativity through Inspiration Worship’s Powerful.
Inspired by her story, Christian Music Weekly (CMW) ran a page-one cover story while national radio shows and podcasts like “Soul2Soul Radio,” “Life with Purpose Radio,” Campus Crusade for Christ’s “Making Your Life Count,” The Song Revolution Podcast and more outlets completed feature interviews to air soon.
Showcasing Linda’s airy, cutting-edge vocals over an ethereal combination of electronic chillstep/trip-hop beats and synths with piano and rock elements, attributed to both producer Ian Eskelin and musician Clément Ducasse, the heart of Powerful expresses God’s sovereignty (“One God”), Jesus’ sacrifice (“The Blood”), His return (“A Scepter and Crown”), His grace (“Never Let Me Go”) and His strength (“You Never Change”). There are also sermon-type songs, such as the treatise on the devil’s tactics on “Powerful Lie” and the chill pop warning against sin, “Roar.”
Linda sings about devotion to God on the corporate friendly “All I Am” and album opener “Take Me,” the authority of believers on “Heaven Reigns,” and the need for the church to “Rise Up” in a song featuring guest artist Adam Klutinoty of the band About A Mile.
Standing alone thematically is the song Linda and her husband Tom wrote for their daughter in the midst of her battle with anorexia, titled “I Can’t Fix You,” which also becomes the first video from the album.
“I don’t think a lot of Christians walk around feeling powerful,” says Linda. “There’s power available to believers in Jesus, and that’s the overall message I want people to come away from with this record.”

| The Afters’ Powerful “Well Done” Available Now Best Of Album, The Beginning and Everything After, To Release Nov. 2 |
| Nashville, Tenn. (Aug. 31, 2018) – “Well Done,” a song that points to the hope of Heaven and a life well lived, is the newest single from The Afters.

upcoming performance at the notable Christian Music Broadcasters (CMB)
Momentum Conference. It released to all digital outlets on Friday with

The song, already cultivating stories of hope and encouragement among fans, was years in the making as front man Josh Havens’ shares, “I lost my dad to cancer about fourteen years ago and there’s been a void in our family ever since. This past year, it especially hit home when two of my sisters got married. I just thought the whole time about how my dad would’ve loved to be there. As I looked around, I realized that my dad loved Jesus, and because of that he showed his family what it means to live a life in pursuit of Jesus. Because of his impact, my siblings and I all love Jesus. I can’t image a better legacy to leave behind. Someday – when this life is over – we’re going to leave behind all the pains of this world, all the suffering, all the heartache and we’re going to go before our creator. When we see Jesus face to face, we can look forward to hearing those words, ‘well done, my good and faithful servant.’ I hope this song is a comfort for anyone who has lost someone they love and is a reminder of how important this life is. ’’ As The Afters’ prepare a new collection of music, the band is pausing to reflect on a memorable past with the Nov. 2 release of The Beginning and Everything After. The 12 track best of project celebrates the triumphs, including chart-topping albums and singles, TV placements and theme songs, an MTVU Award, GMA Dove Awards and other accolades.
