Artist Watch: NEEDTOBREATHE’s ‘Out of Body’

When we talk about NEEDTOBREATHE, we are talking about one of the most influential Christian rock bands of all time. With their country and rock influences, this South-Carolina based band has definitely changed contemporary Christian pop music for the good. They have now released their seventh studio album ‘Out of Body.’ But this new season is a little bittersweet for brothers Bear and Bo as they have decided to do things a little differently…

The band was founded in 2001 by the brothers Bear and Bo Rinehart, who joined forces with Seth Bolt. From the early years, they’ve started to play in front of coffee house audiences at Furman University. Fun fact, did you know that Bear Rineheart was also active as a football player during his college years.

The band was already deemed for much success in its early years. Just like any other music formation, they’d started with bringing out albums independently. They quickly caught the attention of Lava Records, which didn’t take too long to sign them in 2004. This resulted in many studio albums and plenty of great notations in the Christian music charts over the years.

Their sixth studio album “Hard Love” even immediately debuted at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart and at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in 2016. This was clearly no surprise with their 13 Dove awards, and we’re aren’t even mentioning their nominations. NEEDTOBREATHE has now released their long-awaited seventh studio album ‘Out of Body.’ This album marks an entirely new phase for the band after Bo Rineheart decided to take a step away from NEEDTOBREATHE. Even though the number of band members is now down to three, this new album is yet again packed with their unique and powerful sound. One thing is for sure, they’ve definitely delivered another gem. Listen to NEEDTOBREATHE on Maasbach Radio, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music.

Cory Asbury’s ‘To Love a Fool’

Bethel Worship’s Cory Asbury is without a doubt the definition of a hard-working worship pastor. He is globally known for his 2017 smash hit song ‘Reckless Love’. Cory Asbury has now released his third solo album ‘To Love a Fool’. How will his newest addition to his discography be received compared to his recent successes?

It all started for Cory Asbury at the young age of seventeen, when he started to lead worship at his local church in North Carolina. After graduating high school in 2004, he joined the International House of Prayer in Kansas City as a worship intern. This is where his musical career really took off. During his seven-year stay at IHOPKC he released his first songs that ended up in the charts, together with the IHOPKC collective.

After spending seven years in Kansas City, Cory moved to Colorado Springs with his family. He became the new worship pastor of New Life Church and together with New Life Church, he released the album ‘Strong God’ in 2013, which peaked at No. 6 on Billboard’s Christian Albums chart. This all led to Cory Asbury getting signed by Bethel Music in May 2015 and him singing the powerful anthem ‘Son of God’ on their eighth live album ‘Have It All,’ which came in at No. 2 on Billboard’s Christian Albums chart.

Cory’s smash hit, without a doubt, is the chart-topping worship song: ‘Reckless love’ that is being sung in churches all over the world since 2017. This release even resulted in a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Christian Song in 2019. Cory Asbury has now released his third solo album ‘To Love a Fool’. This album is packed with inspiring and powerful songs like ‘The Father’s House’ and ‘Sparrows’. We wouldn’t be surprised if the songs on this album would also climb up high on the charts.

NEVER BE DEFEATED! Testimony

Rich Tolbert Jr. shot to number 1 on Billboard’s Gospel chart in no time with his powerful anthem ‘Never be defeated’. Behind this song is an incredible story of overcoming the spirit of suicide and sickness. Check out this miracle story on Maasbach Radio’s Youtube channel and don’t forget to subscribe to stay updated on more encouraging testimonies!

Rich got the opportunity of a lifetime with his own choir at a young age, getting signed by Alicia Keys as her first Gospel group. For 12 years he performed at crazy big events and tv-shows. But when his contract ended, Rich wanted to stop pursuing his music career.

We were opening up for Alicia Keys at the Apollo (in New York City) singing songs about being saved at a secular event. So I thought: ‘surely this is what the Lord wants me to do!’ But it seemed to not be it. The Lord brought back the desire to put Him and the Kingdom first. Not thinking about the platforms, the money and the fame. I stopped and regrouped and said ‘God what do You want? Your plans over my plans. They’re higher anyways!’

Artist Watch: Sidewalk Prophets’ ‘The Things That Got Us Here’

Sidewalk Prophets is definitely one of those interesting bands out there in the world of Contemporary Christian Music that can’t be put in a box. With a refreshing pop sound, they’re a great example of showing that making music is fun and an activity for everyone. The band released their newest album ‘The Things That Got Us Here,’ which features their 2019 hit song ‘Smile.’

It all began in 2003 when lead singer Dave Frey and rhythm guitarist Ben McDonald were attending Indiana’s Anderson University. Without their knowledge, their music was recorded by someone on campus. What they couldn’t have imagined at that moment was the absolute success that followed afterward. Radio program directors and record labels wanted to work with them after hearing their musical talent.

The group signed at Word Records, which marked the start of a great career in the industry. Since that moment, the band has toured with renowned artists like Jeremy Camp, won a Dove award for ‘New Artist of the Year,’ and released multiple hits like ‘You Love Me Anyway.’

Their newest album ‘The Things That Got Us Here’ is definitely an awesome addition to their discography. It combines fresh pop-sounds in a happy and upbeat way. The songs all have a wonderful and biblical encouragement for its listeners, which makes this album especially a good listen when you’re feeling a bit down.

Artist Watch: Chris Tomlin and Friends

If we have to mention one artist that has had a major influence in worship services all around the world, it’s – without a doubt – Chris Tomlin. His Contemporary Christian Music career has been building a solid amount of followers for 25 years already. Within those years, he has definitely put his mark on the entire industry. His newest album ‘Chris Tomlin & Friends’ proves exactly why he was and still is the most influential Christian vocalist around!

Chris Tomlin’s calling to write worship came at the early age of 14. He grew up in Grand Saline in Texas and led worship in his youth group in his teenage years. Chris was heading to study medicine, but God had entirely different plans with him in college. He grew active in a campus Christian group, called Breakaway, as a worship leader. This led to many volunteering positions as a worship leader at various camps in Texas. While at Breakaway, he came in touch with the founders of Choice Ministries, Louie and Shelley Giglio. This led all to his role as a worship leader in the now-famous Passion Conferences.

From that moment on the Passion Conferences only grew, as did the reach of the songs written by Chris Tomlin. It became inevitable for Chris to get signed to a noticeable record label. ‘Sixstepsrecords’, which came forth from the Passion Conferences, aligned itself with major distributor EMI. Out of this construction came many of Chris Tomlin’s successes like the iconic albums ‘Burning Lights’ and ‘Love Ran Red.’

Chris Tomlin has now released his newest big project ‘Chris Tomlin & Friends.’ This album is all about surprising collaborations with some of the biggest names in the world of country music, like Florida Georgia Line, Lady A, Thomas Rhett, and many more. The result is a highly unique blend of masterfully crafted worship with the sound of some of the best Christian-based country music that you’ll hear in a long time. Listen to ‘Chris Tomlin & Friends’ at Maasbach Radio, Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music.

Artist Watch: Lecrae’s ‘Drown’ Featuring John Legend

Lecrae is without a doubt the most influential Christian hip-hop artist from the last decade. With chart-topping albums like ‘Gravity’ and ‘Anomaly,’ he definitely has a huge share in making Christian hip-hop music popular in the mainstream media of today. Lecrae has now released a new, and exciting collaboration with another heavyweight in the music industry, the one and only R&B and soul singer ‘John Legend.’

Lecrae’s life is a story that could very well be an Oscar-winning Hollywood movie. He started out on the streets of Houston and got himself arrested for drug dealing. However, God intervened and Lecrae became a born again child of God. Lecrae’s life has known many ups and downs. Fortunately, he found his way to express himself in the hip-hop music that he loves to create.

He started out as an independent artist by founding his own label, Reach Records, in 2004. His star quickly rose and even his first album already ended up in the Christian Charts. His own label sealed a distribution deal with the big Columbia Records and in the years after that, many successes followed for the hip-hop artist.

‘Drown’ is Lecrae’s newest song. It’s an exciting collaboration with R&B and soul singer ‘John Legend.’ In light of the recent happenings in society, there are a lot of questions for people to deal with. This song is definitely a powerful introspective track for people. This track doesn’t shy away from the insecurities in life. However, it provides listeners a biblical encouragement in a very inspiring way. Listen to ‘Drown’ on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music.

Artist Watch: Caitie Hurst’s ‘At All Times’

Caitie Hurst never really planned to become a musical artist, and especially not one with her current track record. But God had a different plan for her life. Even though she describes herself as awkward and insecure, she’s released some of the most top-ranking Christian pop tracks in the last couple of years. Her latest single ‘At All Times’ can definitely be the next hit of her already successful musical career.

Caitie Hurst grew up in Hendersonville, Tennessee in a musical family. Her father was part of a touring Christian band. Even though she loved singing, she thought of herself as being awkward and insecure. Because of that self-image, she never wanted to sing in front of anyone. Fortunately, the leaders of her youth group in church recognized her talent and signed her up to lead worship.

She overcame her insecurities because of her voice teacher, who told her that she was given this talent as a gift from God. She told Caitie that it wasn’t about her, but that her job was to point people to God, and not herself. Caitie continued to develop her musical talent throughout high school and university, where she pursued a path of worship-leading.

She also discovered “her mission” to “bridge the gap between songs that sound like pop radio but contain meaningful lyrics. Music that communicates the Gospel in a way that doesn’t sound cliché, but sounds fun—something someone could jam to in the car.” This approach proved to quite successful for her with already several chart rankings since she signed at Centricity in the fall of 2017

Her latest single “At All Times” is definitely another gem that is produced with the reasoning behind it. The song sounds fresh and totally for today. She rightfully mentioned that “this as a song that could be sung over and over no matter how circumstances around us look like.” Listen now to ‘Caitie Hurst’ on Maasbach Radio, Spotify, and Apple Music.

Aria Alise on Mradio

Aria Alise, a gifted 15-year old singer/songwriter from Los Angeles, shares her inspiring story on Maasbach Radio and talks about her ‘very big God’.

• Listen to Aria Alise on Mradio!

Listen to Maasbach Radio this weekend to hear Aria talk about how God delivered her from anxiety. She’ll also pray a special prayer for you as you’re tuned in. We know you will be blessed!

More about Aria Alise (@ariaalise):
Aria Alise is a 15 year old singer, songwriter, and musician who grew up amidst recording sessions held in her father’s music studio in North Hollywood, CA. For the majority of her life, Aria was raised on a bustling corner in a dangerous LA neighborhood. Unable to go outside to play because of the prostitutes, gang-members, drug dealers and homeless population, she retreated to her pink bedroom and wrote “Jesus songs” on her Casio piano. When her parents recognized her gift they began purposely exposing her to vocal training, recording and musical study.

Since Aria was raised to the soundtrack of sirens, shouts, gun-shots and helicopters; the urban sound has unsurprisingly had an influence on her music. Urban life has not only inspired Aria sonically, but it has also done so in a ministerial sense. Over the last few years, Aria has also helped to start, promote and launch an after-school skate park for the neighborhood kids. She helps to run concerts, bible studies and evangelistic outreaches there. Aria regularly performs original songs and leads worship in this environment and has inadvertently built a growing fan base from the youth center kids.

Aria’s parents are senior pastors and have provided a solid foundation as well as unwavering support to assist her in fulfilling her calling. To this end, Aria recently moved away from traditional schooling in order to pursue her music ministry with greater focus. She is currently enrolled in online courses and in the studio full-time. Ultimately, this has assisted Aria Alise to pursue her purpose, which is to bring the message of purity and holiness to a generation of youth who are lost in popular culture; chasing excess and vanity.

Artist Watch: We The Kingdom

We the Kingdom joined the Contemporary Christian Music scene as recently as of 2018. However, in this short period of time, this formation has definitely made some considerable waves in the pond. With their unique take on country and folk influences, they’re bringing a refreshing new sound to the table. Will their rising star keep on going with their newest releases?

‘We the Kingdom’ exists of band members Andrew Bergthold, and the Cash family. The most noticeable member is perhaps four-time “Producer of the Year” Gospel Music Award winner Ed Cash. He’s already produced tracks for industry legends like Chris Tomlin, Steven Curtis Chapman, David Crowder Band, and many more. This experience is definitely audible in the sound of ‘We the Kingdom’. With refreshing folk and country influences, this band is definitely bringing a new and innovative sound to the industry.

This is perhaps also one of the main reasons why their success has skyrocketed since their formation. Their first official releases are from only two years ago, but since that moment, their songs have been consistently found in the Christian music charts. Their 2019 song ‘‘Holy Water’ has even peaked at multiple Christian music charts!

‘We the Kingdom’ is definitely one of the most exciting multi-generational family bands out there. Brothers Ed and Scott Cash, together with Ed’s children Franni and Martin, and dear friend Andrew Bergthold have seen God’s plan seen come together in a wonderful way. And today we can all enjoy the fruit of their perseverance and faith. Listen to ‘We the Kingdom’ on Maasbach Radio, Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

Artist Watch: Hillsong & Tasha Cobbs’ ‘Awake My Soul’

2020’s pandemic did interrupt all of our schedules! This was also the case for Hillsong. One of the biggest events of this ministry is their yearly conference. This recurring event is the moment where Hillsong Worship presents their newest releases and also records new music. One of their biggest collabs for 2020 should have been the attendance of GRAMMY-winning Gospel singer Tasha Cobbs and even though the conference couldn’t continue in its original form, the collaboration with this Gospel powerhouse DID happen. 

The song ‘Awake my Soul’ is originally from the 2019 Hillsong Worship album ‘Awake’. The original song was written and led by lead vocalist Brooke Ligertwood. The message of the album and particularly this song was directed towards an awakening of God’s people. The song ‘Awake my Soul’ functions as a song-cry of praise and self-reflection to listen to God’s voice. The upcoming Hillsong Conference in July 2020 would traditionally be the date to record the music videos and live recordings for the songs on their new album.

“Last year our church, Hillsong, announced that Tasha Cobbs Leonard was going to be one of our guests at Hillsong Conference 2020. Tasha and I then began talking about what it would be like for us to record a song together live at Hillsong Conference,” said Ligertwood.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic evolved in such a way that the Hillsong conference 2020 couldn’t continue in its current form. “It became clear we weren’t going to be able to execute what we’d originally planned. However, the collaboration felt important, so perhaps there was something else we could do…And so, ‘Awake My Soul with Tasha Cobbs Leonard’ was birthed.” Listen to Hillsong and Tasha Cobbs’ ‘Awake My Soul’ on Maasbach Radio, Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

Artist Watch: ‘Together’, An Inspiring Collab for 2020’s Circumstances

2020 is definitely a different kind of year! A lockdown due to one of the most severe pandemics in the last century has hit many nations around the world in a lockdown. It also introduced us to social distancing, which is especially hard around these times when a new global awareness is rising for the equality for all humans of every ethnicity. Songs like ‘Together’ are a great example of creative collaborations that are particularly inspiring for our current situation in the world.  

Christian music industry heavy-hitters ‘For King & Country’, ‘Tori Kelly’, and ‘Kirk Franklin’ have come together for a collaboration for their newest song ‘Together’. Inspired by the global consequences of social distancing and the lockdown due to a global pandemic, these artists are encouraging us to not give up and to remember that we are all in this together.

This theme is particularly striking in light of the current circumstances of rising global awareness for equality of every ethnicity. It’s really inspiring to see that it doesn’t matter who you are and what your background is, we are all equal and wonderfully made after the image of a perfect God.

Pastor David Maasbach mentioned this exact point in the sermon ‘Black Lives Matter’. “All humans are created from flesh and blood, therefore we all feel the same pain when we are hit by a hammer. We all feel the same hunger when we have no food, the same thirst when we have nothing to drink. The same shame when we are humiliated.”

A few examples of the 12 mind-blowing testimonies during the 12 Days of Pentecost Fire

Antoon Coppens grew up as an orphan boy, the most terrible time of his life. “Fear, uncertainty and a feeling of rejection marked my life. This feeling grew even stronger when I, at the age of 13, fell victim to incest.”

Eugene Rard was totally trapped in a world of drugs, occultism and esotericism. “I experienced that those dark forces started to dominate me and I was no longer in control.”

Missy Lindsay had a fatal accident, in which the perpetrator drove on. “Because of a catastrophic accident I had an encounter with death as a young girl. This battle was not against flesh and blood, but for the call-ing on my life.”

David Juma grew up in a family with 11 children in Kenya, Africa. “I have seen that through the power of Jesus the deaf heard, tumors and growths disappeared, paralyzed people walked, and many other super-natural miracles.”

Liaquat Qaiser is pastor and preacher of the Gospel in Pakistan. “The greatest miracle of my life happened in 1968. Jesus found me in a sit-uation where I felt completely lost and hopeless. I was sunk in the swamp of despair, without hope for life.”

Asunta Juma gave her life to Jesus as a teenager and witnessed God’s great miracles. “One day I prayed a bold prayer for my father, who had just died, upon which he came back to life. I was an eyewitness of this supernatural miracle of God.”

More about the message:
Jesus provided our redemption. To be redeemed means to be bought back and be placed back in the position God designed you for. Reject everything that tells you that you’re not good, because that’s not your redeemed status.

Liaquat Qaiser (PAKISTAN)

How have you experienced God in your life? Do you know what it feels like when God touches your heart? Is the fountain of God streaming through your life? Pastor Liaquat Qaiser from Pakistan tells us about his first encounter with the love of God:

“After 15 minutes, the love of God shined in the depth of my soul and came out like a flood. Like a fountain!”

“I found my identity in Christ!”

Antoneal, born in Saint Martin in the Caribbean, visits the Maasbach Radio studio to encourage you with his testimony.

Antoneal came to church as a teenager and was baptized there, but he admits that he was standing in the church with one leg and in the world with the other. He looked for his identity and purpose in people and places, but couldn’t find it. One night he was dancing in a club when he had an encounter with God:

“It might sound cliché but in that moment I looked up and I got a Word from God. He told me: ‘What are you doing here? This is not where you’re supposed to be.”

Antoneal decided to dedicate his life to Jesus and that’s where he found his identity and purpose! Isn’t that wonderful? Be encouraged as you hear how God can change a life and claim it for His glory and receive the faith you need to pray for your children or grandchildren that have left the way of the Lord. Jesus is the Miracle Worker!
