What's Coming This Year? A 2025 Sneak Peek
Hi friends!
Wow. 2024 was an incredible year for our family and the music we created with our friends.
Sing for the King (our most popular new release)
Saved by Grace (thank you to Reese and Suzy for bringing this one to life!)
Thank you for following along, watching and sharing our videos, and teaching our songs to your children or those in your stewardship. We are infinitely grateful to each of you and could not continue to do what we love without your love and support.
I have been asked about things we have planned for this year, and I am so excited to share some pretty lofty plans with you. I pray that everything falls into place and that we can accomplish our goals.
Overall, we hope to release one song a month (except for in December–never doing that again!) Here's a little sneak peek of what we have planned.
January: Look to Jesus
For the last 3 years, some of my dearest friends (Joelle Einerson, Chelsea Stevens, & James Stevens) and I have joined together to create a song for Christian youth. In 2023, we released "Ready to Rise." In 2024 we released "Living Proof." This year, we are sharing something incredibly special: "Look to Jesus." The song was recorded in November and filmed TODAY with a huge group of youth from 4 states and 2 countries. It was beautiful, exhausting, and so much fun. When we were leaving, one of the girls said, "I don't want to leave! There's just so much JESUS here!" It was the best day.
"Look for Jesus" will be released on YouTube on January 18th at 10:00 am Mountain Time. Sheet music and recordings will be available in the shop soon.
February: He Lives Again
Last fall, Joelle and I were trapped in the Nashville airport for 5 hours while our plane was delayed. We had spent the weekend writing music with Christian songwriters from around the country, and we were so sad to be stuck in an airport instead of writing something awesome with awesome people. So we plopped down on a bench, pulled out my laptop, and started writing an Easter song. I will never forget sitting on that plane a few hours later and hearing the chorus melody playing through my head all night. We finished the song soon after we got home, and recorded most of it yesterday (the busiest and best weekend ever!) "He Lives Again" will be released on February 15th at 10:00 am Mountain Time. Sheet music is already up on the website, and audio tracks will be up before February 1st.
March: One Tiny Seed
One of my favorite things about what I do is the people I create with. A few months ago, my soul sister Lauren Gruwell asked me to write a Father's Day song. I countered by asking her to write one with me. I was thrilled when she agreed. The song went in a few directions before we settled on possibly the cutest idea ever. "One Tiny Seed" is all about planting and nurturing tiny seeds of faith and sharing the beautiful fruits of that faith with others. We can't wait to share it with you!
If all goes to plan, "One Tiny Seed" will be released on March 8th.
April: Shining Brightly
I grew up singing the sweetest little song in my church called "I Am Like a Start Shining Brightly." The song was written by Patricia Graham, and it is absolutely precious! She was gracious enough to allow me to record her song alongside some words and music of my own. I'm giddy with excitement to share it with you!
"Shining Brightly" will hopefully be released on April 26th.
May: A Missionary Song (title TBA–we haven't even started writing this one yet, but we could use a million prayers!)
June: Kind Like Christ
Each of my children has their own baptism song. "Kind Like Christ" was written for my youngest with one of my besties, Becky Willard. We have some big plans for this video; it is going to be awesome!
July: Anytime, Anywhere
"Anytime, Anywhere" has been up on my website for over a year, and I've loved hearing your sweet messages about it! We want to honor this cute little song with its own recording and video. I'm planning on filming this one in one of my "happy places." It's going to be extra special.
August: TBA
September: A Thanksgiving Song TBA
October: Christmas song #1 TBA
November: Christmas song #2 TBA
