While the collaboration between Elevation Worship, Brandon Lake, and Chandler Moore took the Christian music world by storm, the songwriters admit it was unexpected, except for one person.

“I don’t think anybody believed in 'Praise,' except for my wife,” Brandon Lake said in an interview with crosswalk.com.

Just two weeks after a tragic plane crash claimed the lives of three members of the Grammy-nominated gospel band, The Nelons, the last surviving daughter announced Thursday, that they will release their final album. 

"Before all of this happened, my family and I had just completed a brand-new album that was already supposed to be released at the end of this month," said Autumn Nelon Streetman. "I had no idea how big of an impact this album would have on my life, especially what I'm walking through now."

It's an exciting week for sibling trio CAIN as they release their first book, I'm So Blessed.

The lyrical, children's picture book is based on their hit song 'I'm So Blessed.'

"We were so grateful for how much our fans have resonated with our song that we wanted to turn it into something you can hold in your hands and share with the kids in your lives," shares CAIN on the book's inspiration. "We wanted to proclaim that the truth about God is that He will bless His children in every situation: good and bad."

The World Health Organization's declaration of mpox as a global public health emergency means Canada must do its part to help stem outbreaks of the virus in Africa, experts say. 

"Where there is a fire, we all put it out quickly and the whole village is safe. If you allow one house to burn in a village, sooner or later that fire is coming for you," said Dr. Madhukar Pai, Canada Research Chair in epidemiology and global health at McGill University in Montreal.

Former Conservative MP and cabinet minister Chuck Strahl has died at the age of 67.

Strahl was first elected in 1993 and represented the B.C. riding of Chilliwack–Fraser Canyon until his retirement in 2011.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called Strahl a "dear friend" in a social media post Wednesday.

"He was a man of principle, integrity and compassion, and a foundational member of our Conservative party."

Romans 14:8

Deuteronomy 8

While jogging early this morning, I found myself humming the tune Bob Hope immortalized during several wars. I can still remember his tailor-made lyrics, fitted to each occasion. He sang them to lonely soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines from steamy jungles to frozen reservoirs...from the decks of aircraft carriers to makeshift platforms on windswept sand dunes. As guys and gals in uniform laughed and cried, screamed and sipped Coke, they always anticipated Hope's finale as he took the mike and crooned, "And thanks for the memories...."
