Hi!

This week, you’ll hear brand new songs from Mack Brock, We The Kingdom and North Point Worship! Plus Crowder, Jenn Johnson, Sean Curran, Kalley, Leeland and more. And: you might pick up on a few mini-themes this week: God’s faithfulness through our mountains and valleys, the Defeat of Death and more.

God bless you as you open your heart and mouth and bring your praise before our awesome God!

This week’s playlist features Mack Brock, Pat Barrett, Tauren Wells and Elle Limebear (to name a few of the regulars). Plus, a couple tracks from Wilder Band. I’d love to introduce you to this compelling new worship duo!

Friday was an awesome day for new releases! This week’s Worship Release Roundup includes albums from Chris Tomlin, Cory Asbury and Mission House. Plus, singles from Kim Walker-Smith, Andrew Marcus, YWAM Kona Music, and local duo (the autumn)!

I also have clips from my interview with Kim Walker-Smith, who was my latest guest on the Praise & Worship Podcast! Listen below or watch the video interview here.

This week’s lineup starts with sweet still songs and moves from knowing God to knowing He’s fighting for us.

Plus, clips from my interview with local leader Kristian Walker, Pastor of Worship Arts & Media at Christian Life Assembly in Camp Hill. During our conversation, he shared what songs have been meaningful to his congregation in this season, which makes for a wonderful mini-theme in the playlist. Check out the video interview below and CLA Worship’s socially distanced video collage for the song “Way Maker!”

Today’s P&W Playlist highlights include new versions of classic worship songs: “Sometimes By Step” from Shane & Shane and “Clear The Stage 2020” from Ross King. Both just came out on Friday! I’m so excited to have new versions of these songs that have meant to much to us over the years.

Plus, fresh releases from local worship teams! Life Center Worship in Harrisburg just released their new album “Hope For All” on Friday!

There’s also new music now from MBSSY (the travel worship team from Lancaster Bible College)! Their new song “More Than An Experience” was written (words and music!) by student Silas Angelino. The music video was recorded at the beautiful The Trust Performing Arts Center in Lancaster, and opened the Creation Fest virtual concert this weekend!

Worship Center Music put out the acoustic version of their new song “Path To Peace” this week. There’s also a video (and behind the scenes pics on their social media!)

And check out this socially distant “Way Maker” collage video CLA Worship posted this week. It’s fantastic!

There’s also new music coming out lately from Caleb and Bethany Kuenzli of Providence Worship in Spring Grove, PA. I talked with them this week and you can watch the interview here! They share about songwriting and recording, adopting (and naming!) twins, moving to PA and their Rekindle Retreats.

And one more thing! WJTL Music Director, Nik, and I were on some radio Zoom calls recently with Matt Redman and Joel Houston of Hillsong United. It was so encouraging to hear their hearts for this season! I talked a little bit about it on the program this morning and thought you might like to see some screenshots!

Plus, songs inspired by conversations I had this week with local worship leaders Elissa Lee of Victory Church and Dan Seiz of Worship Center. And this week’s New Release Roundup with Mack Brock, Selah, Rebecca St. James and more!

I played Paul Baloche’s song “What A Good God” and mentioned this live video filmed with lots of local worship leaders at LCBC. Have you seen it yet?

Today’s lineup starts with a focus on God’s presence and His word. I also have super simple songs full of heart and praise. Scroll down for all the details.

This week I talked with North Point Worship’s Lauren Lee. We talked about our middle names (Leigh/Lee), her obsession with punctuality and songs for this season. Plus, North Point Worship is on track to release 12 new songs in 2020. Currently up to 4! Lauren sings 2 of them, including “Just Getting Started” and “Light Breaking Through”, which is based on her experience with postpartum depression. She shared her story and how it inspired this beautiful song!

It was so fun to catch up with former WJTL intern Ryan Lewis, who is now a worship leader at Living Word Community Church in York. Click here to watch our video interview.

Their team, Living Word Music, has a new project out called “With All Creation’s Song”. (Streaming everywhere!) I have some of their new songs in today’s lineup, plus a group Ryan introduced me to that his congregation is connecting with lately: CityAlight

Episode 12 features special guest, Lauren Lee of North Point Worship! She has released a couple new songs with the group in 2020, which is a year she hoped would have “less polish and more authenticity”. We talked about this season and worship leaders she’s appreciating lately. Plus, the story behind “Light Breaking Through“, which came out of her experience with postpartum depression. We talked about our middles names, her obsession with punctuality and much more!

I also talked with devotional music singer/songwriter Jon Guerra last week, and the visual album of his latest record, “Keeper of Days” is out everywhere! Here’s a link to watch.
