Four-time GRAMMY® Award-winning band Third Day will hit the road again this spring to headline The Miracle Tour, a 45-city trek featuring “American Idol” finalist Colton Dixon and singer-songwriter Josh Wilson as special guests. The Miracle Tour will launch Feb. 21, in Fairfax, Va., and will hit major markets like Memphis, Dallas, Birmingham, Atlanta, Nashville, Indianapolis, Grand Rapids, Chicago and many more before wrapping up in mid-May.
The Miracle Tour takes its name from Third Day’s brand new studio project, Miracle, releasing Nov. 6. With veteran producer Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Train, The Killers) at the helm, Miracle is a 12-track simmering brew of potent rock anthems infused with the substantive, life-affirming lyrics that have always been the bedrock of Third Day’s music. At the same time, the band explores new sonic and lyrical territory on Miracle, with layered guitars and harmonies, sing-along gang vocals, and so on – not heard from the band previously. The band’s signature rock foundations remain; they’ve just been infused with a modern-day flair. Continue reading
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has officially reported what Liberty Counsel has been saying all along: The IRS is not auditing churches because it does not have the authority to take away churches’ tax-free status.
For years, leftist groups, such as Americans United for the Separation of Church and State (AU), have used deception and fear tactics to censor the church and muzzle pastors. A recent letter to religious leaders by Executive Director Barry Lynn inaccurately said, “If the IRS determines that your house of worship has engaged in unlawful intervention, it can revoke the institution’s tax-exempt status.” Continue reading
Hillsong Church endeavors to champion the cause of the local Church, and their latest release is no exception. The second installment in their Chapel series titled Forever Reign is a collection of some of their most popular songs with an intimate, personal feel, which many believe will continue to break down cultural and denominational barriers. The album spent much of its first week at No. 1 on the iTunes Christian Albums U.S. chart and remains solid in the Top Ten. In addition to the Hillsong Chapel release, the church launched a range of free small group studies. Continue reading
On November 7 Praise the Lord, Trinity Broadcasting Network’s signature music, talk, and ministry program, will host a very special two-hour tribute in honor of Dr. Billy Graham as he celebrates his 94th birthday.
“Perhaps no other individual alive today has done more to deliver the simple, powerful message of the gospel around the world than Billy Graham,” said TBN’s founder and president Dr. Paul Crouch. “For all of us here at TBN, Dr. Graham has been a constant source of encouragement and a solid example of godly character. We are looking forward to highlighting his many decades of selfless service to God’s kingdom and the body of Christ.” Continue reading
One of the holiest sites in Jerusalem is faced with a harsh reality that could effect millions of Christian tourists who flood the holy city annually.

This week Tamela Mann spends her 12th week on the charts. Half of that time she has spent it at #1. That continues this week as Mann’s album ‘Best Days’ continues to sit alone on top the charts.
A surprise gainer this week is Bishop Rudolph McKissick Jr. who moves from the #19 spot on the charts from just a week ago, to the #2 postion. McKissick’s CD ‘Recovery’ was released two weeks ago. Continue reading
Jesus Culture Music announce the highly anticipated release of the seventh full-length recording from Jesus Culture, Jesus Culture With Martin Smith: Live From New York, on Nov. 20, 2012. Recorded live during Jesus Culture’s conference at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in New York June 28-30, 2012, this new double-CD captures a dynamic collaboration of voices who have helped shape, and continue to inspire, generations of worshippers.
Fred Hammond’s orchestrated new group the ‘United Tenors’ suffered a major set-back in production this week.
PATH previously announced earlier this month that a super-group was being formed uniting Fred Hammond, Dave Hollister, Brian Courtney Wilson, and Eric Roberson. Recording on the new album is going forward, but without Brian Courtney Wilson.
Wison’s label Music World Gospel has put a halt to plans that would have added a unique dynamic to Gospel music.
It is unknown why the label has denied Brian the ability to record the project scheduled for release sometime in March of 2013.
Fred Hammond announces the news via his Social Cam, with a devastated Dave Hollister visibly hurt by the recent turn of events.
In the earlier announcement this month we knew that details of the collaboration still had to be worked out with their respected labels, but that hadn’t stopped the four of them from rapidly recording tracks.
Brian Courtney Wilson spoke with PATH publisher Kris Patrick first about the news, from the studio and home of Fred Hammond as they listened to the first mixes of the album.
“I am extremely grateful to be working with Fred Hammond and the team he has conceived. We are all excited to be working together and even more excited for you to hear what we think will be an important contribution to Kingdom music.” Brian goes on to say “That God will be pleased.”
The news leaves the United Tenors with 3 in the group now, and Fred Hammond made it clear that they’re moving forward with recording. They hope to wrap up production on the album by Christmas.
Currently, Dave Hollister is Pastoring at Word Assembly Family of Churches in California. Brian Courtney Wilson is coming off his sophomore album, and Eric Roberson hopes to broaden his fan-base by joining the group.
Brian Courtney Wilson continues to feel the squeeze of diminished radio play on FM stations due to the on-going dispute between his label owner Matthew Knowles, and Radio One founder Cathy Hughes.
Lets pray that Brian’s ministry will go forth, and reach the multitudes.
