Jan 22, 2020 Artist Updates
| This Reimagined Prequel to the Classic Novel “The Pilgrim’s Progress” Named One of the 12 Best Christian Movies of 2019 |
|
(Los Angeles, CA—January 20, 2020) — Building off the success of its 48-hour digital sneak preview release in late 2019, HEAVENQUEST: A Pilgrim’s Progress is
being released on most digital, DVD, and VOD formats on February 4,
2020. Audiences will also be able to stream the movie, as well as buy
digital downloads and DVDs, on the official Heavenquestfilm.com website. “We are honored and truly humbled to be recognized as one of the 12 Best Christian Movies of 2019 alongside such film legends as Terence Malick, Tom Hanks and the Kendrick Brothers, and we want to thank Crosswalk.com and all of the other media who have supported our underdog film thus far. We tried to do something edgy and groundbreaking in the faith based space with HEAVENQUEST by combining an immersive new fantasy world with Hollywood style action. To see it embraced by audiences both for being something they hadn’t seen before and yet still having a strong God-centered message at its core means the world to us and inspires us to keep creating,” said Dan Mark, Producer of HEAVENQUEST. HEAVENQUEST caught the eye of movie critics and reviewers for its strong performances, ambitious production design, and modern, inventive take on John Bunyan’s classic novel, including The Christian Post, CBN News, Charisma Magazine, Dove.org, Movieguide, Relevant Magazine, and many others. Crosswalk.com named HEAVENQUEST as one of its 12 Best Christian Movies of 2019, stating that “HEAVENQUEST is a worthy companion story to the classic novel.” HEAVENQUEST is set in a reimagined fantasy universe inspired by the world and characters in John Bunyan’s timeless masterpiece The Pilgrim’s Progress. Modernized and adapted for today’s audiences, this film acts as an origin story. The film follows Vangel (The Evangelist in the original story), as he explores an expansive new world ravaged by a war between good and evil. Bunyan wrote The Pilgrim’s Progress in 1678 while he was in prison for holding religious services. Considered the first novel ever written in English, the book has never been out of print, it has been translated into more than 200 languages, and is considered the second most-read book after the Bible. The Producers and Director Matthew Bilen faced incredible challenges in filming, yet they were able to create an epic fantasy feature with only a micro-budget of $250,000 (1/500th the budget of a major studio film), minimal crew, an international cast, extreme outdoor locations, and no final script. HEAVENQUEST boasts an international cast of actors, including Korean superstars In Pyo Cha (“D-Day”, “Sense8”) and Ricky Kim (“Law of the Jungle,” “Oh! My Baby”); Karyme Lozano (“Tres Mujares,” “El Manantial”) and Ferrnanda Romero (THE EYE, THE BURNING PLAIN) from Mexico, Australia’s Peta Sergeant (“Snowfall”, “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland”), and American actors Patrick Thompson (“Chicago P.D.”, “Living with Frankenstein”) and Alan Powell (“Quantico”, THE SONG). To learn more about HEAVENQUEST and watch the film, please see Heavenquestfilm.com.

Christian Rapper Tyrone Crawford Drops New Album and Music Video, ‘Made To Win’
Jan 17, 2020 Artist Updates

Colorado Springs, Colo. (January 16, 2020) – Christian Rapper, Producer, Active Duty United States Air Force Member, and No. 1 Charting Amazon Artist, Tyrone Crawford, is set to release his sophomore album, Made To Win, January 31, 2020, via digital and streaming outlets. Simultaneous

This news was so powerful and inspirational to Tyrone that he decided to make Made To Win to encourage and uplift fans and help those that may be dealing with depression, hurt, and neglect. His goal for the new album is that the “Made To Win” message would become a theme for 2020. His hopes are that the new album’s tracks would have the same kind of impact as his single, “Hope,” and that the songs would help bring people to an understanding of who they are created to be, and how to avoid and deal with roadblocks set by negative influences. “I want to help people understand that they’re made in God’s image with a purpose. Whatever battle they’re in, they’re made to win,” said Tyrone. “If we can help get people to understand that in Christ they’re made to win, they’ll begin to walk in their destiny with confidence and overcome any storm they encounter.” The Made To Win pre-order is available now at all digital outlets. With a pre-order, fans will receive an instant download of the powerful and uplifting song, “Made To Win.” Track List: 1. Intro 2. Made To Win 3. I’m A King 4. Yahweh 5. Holy 6. Diamond 7. All Out 8.

‘VICTORY LAP,’ FINAL PROJECT FROM KJ-52, IS OUT TODAY Album Release Closes Rap Career for Hip Hop Pioneer
Jan 12, 2020 Artist Updates
| January
10, 2020 (Springdale, Ark.) – “Victory Lap,” a final project by
multiple Dove Award rapper KJ-52, is out today. The album brings to a
close a multi-decade, landmark career by the Christian hip hop artist. A
companion book project is set to be released in the coming weeks. “Imagine
what would be running through your mind as you ran a ‘victory lap,’”
says KJ-52. “You would think back on all the ups and downs that got you
to the place of winning the race. Picture you and me sitting in a room
telling story after story about every aspect of my experiences…This book
is for you. Each song on the album is inspired by a chapter from the
book in order to help you experience exactly what I was feeling when I
was going through that moment. This book/EP is funded by the fans,
inspired by the fans and written for the fans!” Though KJ-52 cites reasons for retiring that range from family to financial, the musical pioneer also vows to never leave music. “It’s
the same thing about this genre that spoke to me when I was 15 and
barely saved… I was trying to figure out what it meant to be a hip hop
kid and a Christian and someone slipped me a tape and said ‘listen to
this.’ All of a sudden those CHH rappers on the other side of the
headphones made me feel like I had a place and that I fit in. I will
never stop being a part of this movement because someone out there right
now is just like me in 1990,” KJ-52 says. “I might retire KJ-52 but
I’ll never retire the music. “Hip
hop needs the voice of the veterans to help guide the younger
generation… people need to hear what it’s like to grow old gracefully in
hip hop,” he says. “We need to hear what life looks like as you mature
in your self, relationships with others and in your walk with Jesus.” Following is the track list for “Victory Lap”: 1. Day I Was Born (feat. Levi Mitchell) 2. Keep on Running 3. God Is Good 4. Summertime 5. Come Alive (feat. Madeline Gibbs) 6. Just Gets Better (feat. Montell Jordan) 7. Pay Attention 8. I Got This 9. Victory Lap 10. My Very Last Song (feat. Alcott) “Victory Lap,” the album, is available in physical and digital formats at KJ52.com, as well as digital retailers, including iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music and all other digital formats. Alongside the announcement of his final KJ-52 release, the entertainer, whose given name is Jonah Sorrentino, also announced that he has taken a position with Christian Life Fellowship in Cape Coral, Florida. “After 20 years of traveling in music and ministry, I’ve felt the Lord calling me back to serving in the local church full time,” he says. “I want to take all the things I’ve experienced and use them in a setting where I can develop other people for God’s kingdom. I find great joy in leadership and communicating truth in innovative and relevant methods and so I’m excited for this new phase in my life. “I’ve known Pastor Dave and Dina Comer since the 90s and I’ve seen the amazing work they have done in Cape Coral. I’m super grateful for this opportunity to serve as an associate pastor and Go Team director for them.” KJ-52, who is based in Cape Coral, Florida, is a Guinness world record holder in freestyling and has garnered six Dove Award wins to-date, including taking home honors for song of the year for “Do Yo Thang” and “Never Look Away” and multiple album of the year wins for “Five-Two Television,” “KJ-52 Remixed,” and “It’s Pronounced Five Two.” To learn more about KJ-52, visit KJ52.com, like KJ-52 on Facebook and follow him on Twitter and Instagram. |
VENTURE3MEDIA RELEASES FOURTH ALBUM IN SIMPLE HYMNS SERIES: SONGS OF COMMUNION
Jan 12, 2020 Artist Updates
Hymns, Companion Videos Feature Pat Barrett (Housefires), Kelly Minter,
Joanna Beasley (American Idol), Gabe Wilson, Dave Fitzgerald, More
Venture3Media (V3M) continues its Simple Hymns series with today’s (Jan. 10) release of Simple Hymns: Songs of Communion featuring such well-known worship leaders as Pat Barrett (Housefires), Kelly Minter, Joanna Beasley (American Idol), Gabe Wilson, Dave Fitzgerald and more. The 10-hymn album is available on CD and at iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play and additional digital, streaming and physical retail outlets globally.
The songs in this Simple Hymns installment are all centered around communion, and include classic hymns written by Charles Wesley (“And Can It Be”), Phillip Bliss (“Man Of Sorrows”), Stuart Townend (“How Deep The Father’s Love For Us”) and Katharina von Schlegel and Jane Borthwick (“Be Still my Soul”).
The hymn by Isaac Watts, “The Wonderful Cross,” receives fresh interpretation by Chris Tomlin, Jesse Reeves and JD Walt, and is sung by Pat Barrett.
Along with the new music, compelling acoustic videos of six of the songs being sung by the artists were recorded and are featured on a companion Simple Hymns: Songs of Communion (Deluxe Version) of the album that is exclusively available from Apple Music and iTunes.
Songs of Communion is the fourth of several new recordings in the Simple Hymns series to release in the coming months. It follows the Songs of Thanksgiving (Nov. 8), Songs Of Worship (Oct. 4) and Songs Of Redemption (Aug. 30) albums that are available now at Christian retailers and Amazon.com. These recordings feature such acclaimed worship leaders as Mack Brock (Elevation Worship), Leigh Nash (Sixpence None the Richer), Derri Daugherty (The Choir), Chris McClarney, Paul And Hannah McClure (Bethel Music), Dan Koch, Aaron Keyes, Anthony Skinner, Sean Carter and many more.
Each new recording in the Simple Hymns series combines classic Hymns with a fresh interpretation, some with additional lyrics, as well as new songs that have been written and recorded in a hymn-like style and focusing on the Majesty and Greatness of God.
“These hymns and videos are purposefully simple with acoustic instrumentation, nothing overproduced to allow them to be sung by worship leaders in the most unplugged setting, or added to the worship music song selections in any sized church,” says Venture3Media President and Founder Steve Nicolle. “Simple Hymns are also well suited as a background for personal worship, reflection and devotions.”
“Simple Hymns is a response to those that long for a return to a richer and more lyric focused worship expression, combined with a simplicity of musical instrumentation,” Nicolle continues. “Worship music shifts in style from decade to decade, along with shifts in lyrical themes and focus. What makes the hymns so unique and special is their ability to stand the test of time. When times become more turbulent or uncertain, we tend to hold to things that have endured. Hymns give us that anchor and remind us that God’s love and His nature are unchanging.”
Future Simple Hymns releases that are already being developed will feature hymns set around praise, Easter, Christmas and more.

Planetshakers Band Releases Glory Part One EP Today

The congregation responded, offering $252,875.89 for relief efforts through Empower, the community service arm of Planetshakers Church.
