I am excited to announce the upcoming release of a new album produced by Religious Affections Ministries titled, “God Himself Is With Us: The Gospel Proclaimed Through Hymns.”
The goal of this album two-fold: (1) To proclaim the gospel through hymns rich doctrinally and musically; (2) To promote, and in some cases introduce, great congregational hymnody that rightly stirs the mind and the affections.
To that end, this album contains almost one hour of vocal solos and duets performed by my wife, Becky, and me, accompanied by piano, string quartet, and other light acoustic instruments. We aimed to produce a modest, yet stimulating album of rich gospel-centered hymns.
