Casting Crowns is continuing to release songs from Lifesongs: A celebration of the first 20 years. 

Debuting today on their YouTube channel is Tauren Wells, 'Lifesong' and Zach Williams, 'Broken Together'. 

Along with Tauren Wells and Zach Williams, the album includes performances by other artists such as Steven Curtis Chapman, Ben Fuller, CAIN, Phil Wickham and MercyMe among others. The artists will re-record the songs in their own way. 

Double the joy for Logan Cain. He recently welcomed his second daughter into the world. 

"Rosalie Banks Cain. Welcome to the world, little bird. ❤️" He posted to social media on Oct.12. 

She joins older sister, River. 

A group from a British Columbia church that had been touring historical sites in Israel when Hamas fighters began killing civilians is struggling to find a way home with the confusion of the war and a lack of support from the Canadian government. 

Paul Olson, an executive pastor at the SouthRidge Fellowship Church in Langley, said he woke Saturday to a ton of messages from church members on the tour saying they were safe. 

It's an exciting Friday for fans of the award-winning sibling trio CAIN as they release their latest album.

Jesus Music, an eleven-song project, is a tribute to the Jesus music that has come before them.

“Our whole lives the music that inspired us, redirected us, and carried us, was always Jesus music," CAIN collectively shares. "To the artists, the worship leaders, and the choir directors, to the parents singing Jesus music over their kids as they put them to bed, we say thank you. Keep singing Jesus' music. It means more than you can ever know!”

Pastor Nathaniel Hille is thanking God for getting through a life-altering chapter. A rare, aggressive infection that caused his arm to be amputated, past his shoulder. 

"I stepped off a step stool and fell and hit my elbow," Hille said to 10 Tampa Bay. "Got a small scratch on my elbow and contracted Necrotizing Fasciitis or flesh-eating bacteria."

For the third year in a row, a church in Texas has seen a record-breaking amount of baptisms in their congregation.

"We can't help but stand in awe of what God has done in our community," said Champion Forest Baptist Church in a post on Facebook.

The church says they saw 755 souls publicly declare their faith in Christ.

"These aren't just numbers; they are lives forever changed, families transformed, and testimonies of God's relentless grace."

As the festive season draws near, multi-platinum singer and songwriter Michael W. Smith is spreading cheer, releasing a new full-length Christmas album.

The new project, Every Christmas, was released late last week and features 12 tracks, including six new songs and six songs from his 2022 EP Christmas At Home.

Michael W. Smith says the songs on this new album are nostalgic and family-focused.

The death toll continues to rise from Saturday’s attack on Israeli soil by Palestinian Hamas terrorists. We now know over 1,200 Israelis were brutally murdered in the attack, including women, children, babies, and the elderly.

Sebastian Schmidgall, a Christian pastor in Israel and a friend of Mission Network News, shared his account of what it was like on the day of the attack.

Fans of CAIN got a pleasant surprise seeing the band before the show, in an unexpected way. 

Logan, Taylor and Madison, also known as CAIN are used to singing and entertaining on stage. Now, they've tried their hand at helping people park at the show. 

"We're going to sneak around out here try to park people." Logan said on Instagram. It might be a challenge because they're used to being on stage. "Unfortunately, I know nothing about this facility." He continued. 

A year after making some major life changes, including leaving her life of macabre and the occult, Katherine von Drachenberg (Kat Von D) has found God.

In July of last year, Kat Von D, tattoo artist and former reality TV star, said it was time to clear out her library of magic, witchcraft and tarot books.
