Timely Treatment or Transformation: 13 Real Stories Why You Can’t Argue With A Changed Life Drops Today

March 1, 2019

“As a father of two girls, I certainly know what girls face today. So many do not receive the right kind of love from their families and make bad choices without realizing it. The guilt and shame from these devastating choices often lead to serious struggles with self-destructive behaviors. I have watched Nancy Alcorn and Mercy bring hope and healing to struggling young women for many years—young women who were completely without hope. Mercy offers great inspiration, hope, and a way to true healing for all who want to be free.”

– Dave Ramsey, Money Management Expert & Radio Personality

Mercy Multiplied’s Nancy Alcorn Curated Book Of 13 Brave Women Brims With Hope

Nashville, Tenn. (Mar. 1, 2019) - Available now, readers will meet brave women like Heather, Kirstin, Franny, Sarah and more in Treatment or Transformation: 13 Real Stories Why You Can’t Argue With A Changed Life, the latest from Mercy Multiplied Founder and President Nancy Alcorn. The book of renewal spans stories of women choosing to reach out for help in the face of anxiety, eating disorders, abuse, depression, suicidal ideation, unplanned pregnancy, drug use, unhealthy relationships and more. The popular Netflix series 13 Reasons Why and suicide prevention alongside the belief that there is no such thing as a life that cannot be transformed served as the impetus for the timely book.

Alcorn’s friends are sharing in her belief that transformation is possible:

“My good friend, Nancy Alcorn, is the founder and president of Mercy. I have seen firsthand young women completely transformed by the work of Mercy, and I believe in what they are doing!” - Kay Robertson, Co-Star of Duck Dynasty

“With the dysfunction of families, children having babies, rampant sexual abuse, and the lack of morality, it is difficult to see any hope for young women to have self-esteem and grow in wholeness. Mercy is not afraid to deal with the ugly, tough stuff—sexual abuse, cutting, starvation. Nancy and her Mercy team get to the core issues. If you have a daughter, work with girls, or are a young woman struggling with these issues... you want to hear what Nancy has to say. It is sure to change your life.” – Cece Winans, 12X GRAMMY® Award Winner

“When you meet people who are passionate, driven, and living their life with a purpose like Nancy Alcorn, you want to get behind them. I’ve seen the results of the lives changed because of the awesome ministry that is literally diving into the most wounded parts of these young women’s lives and saying, ‘that’s not who you are’, the best is yet to come.” – Matthew West, 4X GRAMMY® Nominee

“For years I’ve said that leadership isn’t about titles, positions or flowcharts—that it’s about one life influencing another. Nancy Alcorn’s leadership is a stellar example of this definition, and her work transforming broken young women through the organization she founded, Mercy, is truly remarkable!” – John C. Maxwell, New York Times Best-Selling Author & Speaker

In Case You Missed Bette Midler’s Heartwarming Performance of Oscar Nominated Mary Poppins Returns' "The Place Where Lost Things Go" You’ll Love This!

February 25, 2019

Singer/songwriter JJ Heller Releases Poignant Rendition of Mary Poppins Returns

"The Place Where Lost Things Go"

Nashville, Tenn. (Feb. 25, 2019) - In case you missed Bette Midler's heartwarming performance of the Oscar nominated tune from Mary Poppins Returns, which earned a standing ovation at last night's 91st Academy Awards, singer/songwriter JJ Heller has released a wistful rendering of the beloved "The Place Where Lost Things Go," available now.

"When I heard Mary Poppins sing her lullaby to the children, comforting them as they miss their mom who died about a year earlier, the scene made me cry as I watched in the theater," said Heller. "It’s an absolutely beautiful song and I knew I had to make my own version!"

Heller began releasing monthly singles in Apr. 2017 that together have amassed over 10 million combined streams to date. The songstress will continue to announce a brand-new song on the first Friday of each month in 2019.

Heller’s latest full-length project, I Dream Of You (Vol. II) appeals to parent and child alike. Comprised of timeless covers and lullabies, the 15-song collection contains songs from the 50’s through today including favorites like “Here Comes the Sun,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Edelweiss” and more, along with three brand-new originals. Birthed out of Heller’s own desire as a mother of two, the project, deemed "medicinal music" by fans, crosses generational boundaries with messages of truth, hope and love woven throughout each track.
To listen to I Dream of You (Vol. II) click HERE.

About JJ Heller:

For over 15 years, Nashville-based independent singer/songwriter JJ Heller has traveled the country sharing music full-time with her husband, Dave Heller, who also co-writes, plays guitar, and provides witty banter from the stage. Her songs have been featured on national television, international advertising campaigns, and radio stations across the world.

On Nov. 02, Heller released her tenth full-length studio album, I Dream of You (Volume II), a 15-track compilation including 12 of Heller's favorite cover songs from the 1950’s through today alongside three brand-new originals.

When she released her first I Dream of You album in 2014, now one of her most-streamed albums, Heller had no idea how significantly it would shape her career. At the time, the mother of two small girls desired to create soothing love songs with a simple message of devotion from a parent to a child. After listeners began sharing stories of how the songs played an integral role in their family’s bedtime routines, car rides, or hospital visits, Heller began donating the album to hospitals, adoption agencies, and families of young children. The album has since been donated to over 100,000 families.

Influencers’ Latest Born Out Of Experiences In Haiti And U.S.; “† (just the cross)”Unveiled Today

February 22, 2019

Video Tells Story Of Track Two Years In The Making

Song Already Making Waves In Atlanta And Amongst Global Congregation

Nashville, Tenn. (Fri. Feb. 22, 2019) – With origins in Haiti and domestically, Influencers’ newest “† (just the cross)” is being unveiled today. While helping with the feeding efforts of Convoy of Hope in Haiti, the song was born post seeing a literal cross on the Haitian hilltop. The diversity-filled, Aussie worship group finished the track while on retreat in their adopted home of Georgia. The track was two years in the making with the sovereignty and simplicity of the cross being at the core of the song. “† (just the cross)” precedes Easter and an expected full length album due out later this spring.

Speaking to its resonance, the song has spurred “† (just the cross)” sessions around their adopted hometown of Atlanta where the group bring worship into casual settings like coffee shops. The robust tune has also become a favorite amongst their homebase -Influencers Church which resides in both Atlanta (multiple locations) and Australia.

“Sometimes we try and add extra to the Gospel and extra to this and that, but really the raw true real message of the gospel is simple - that God so loved the world that He sent His son to die on a cross for you and I that whoever believe in him shall not perish without eternal life - that what this song is about,” shares frontman Mark Evans. “It’s the core of the victory message – just the cross, it’s enough.”

To listen to “† (just the cross)” click here.

About Influencers:

Influencers debut single titled “Imaginations” released in early September 2017 and was followed by unprecedented success on the Christian charts worldwide. “Imaginations” held the No. 1 spot on the iTunes Australian Inspirational Charts for 5 consecutive days, broke the top 10 of the U.S/ Charts and topped the Nielsen Christian Singles Chart on opening week in early September. In just six weeks, “Imaginations” had been streamed over 200,000 times and received placements on some of the biggest Spotify worship playlists in the world with over 1.2 million subscribers. “† (just the cross)” is their latest.

Lindy & The Circuit Riders Release Driven By Love, an "Album About Action," to Critical Acclaim with Heritage Music, Imprint of Bethel Music

February 22, 2019

Nashville, Tenn. (Feb. 22, 2019) -Lindy & The Circuit Riders, helmed by worship leader Lindy Conant-Cofer, release their highly anticipated Driven By Love to critical claim. The 15-track collection, available now with Bethel Music's imprint, Heritage Music, sees Conant-Cofer alongside the Circuit Riders empowering the next generation of believers to cultivate a culture of action with CCM Mag calling the project "...an album about action. Be careful when you join in. You’ll be compelled to do more than just sing along.”

"Few are the worship records that address the oft-neglected theme of missions and evangelism. Lindy & the Circuit Riders not only address this issue, they do it with flying colors," says Hallels. The Christian Beat adds, calling the collection a "refreshing addition to the worship community that is sure to empower and engage listeners of all ages."

The album's title track was birthed out of a response of worship after Conant-Cofer listened to author and speaker Andy Byrd preach about a generation who is driven by love to a room full of young people at YWAM in Kansas city. Conant-Cofer and her husband, Chase, both felt called in that moment to take in children. Now fostering a baby with the heart to adopt, Conant-Cofer recently opened up to FoxNews.com about their experience sharing, "The Lord started to speak to us. If we won’t take in these kids, I actually don’t know who will?"

Lindy & The Circuit Riders will kick off the release of Driven by Love this weekend at The Send. Expecting more than 60,000 attendees, the worship gathering will fill the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla. For more information, visit www.thesend.org.

Listen to Driven By Love, available now here.

About Lindy Conant-Cofer:
Missionary, songwriter and worship leader, Lindy Conant-Cofer is all three with one passion: to worship Jesus with all her heart and to see every nation and every soul radically experience the love of Jesus. Following her Every Nation (2016), Conant-Cofer's anticipated Driven By Love is available now.

Conant-Cofer leads & serves with YWAM Circuit Riders, a missions ministry focused on leading a generation to Christ. For the past several years their main focus has been college campuses. Their music reaches hundreds of campuses each year with seven bands comprised of over 60 musicians touring the United States. The result? Hundreds of salvations and countless lives forever impacted by the gospel.

Viral Sensations The Singing Contractors Deliver Chart-Topping Debut with Working on a Building, Hymns & Gospel Classics

February 13, 2019

Collection Debuts at No. 1 Atop Billboard’s Music Video Chart, Nielsen SoundScan’s Christian Music Video Chart and Southern Gospel Album Chart, No. 2 on Nielsen SoundScan’s Christian Albums Chart

Nashville, Tenn. (Feb. 13, 2019) - Swift momentum continues for the hammer-swinging, tune-singing viral sensations The Singing Contractors as fans and critics resonate with the infectious duo's uplifting release Working on a Building, Hymns & Gospel Classics with Gaither Music Group. The collection of unique renditions of beloved hymns and gospel classics debuted at No. 1 atop Billboard’s Music Video chart across all genres, while also snagging the No. 1 spots on Nielsen SoundScan’s Christian Music Video chart and Southern Gospel Album chart. The album also secured the No. 2 slot on Nielsen SoundScan’s Christian Albums chart.

"We were on different job sites doing trim work and fixing drywall when we received the call about our DVD and CD going No. 1! It was so shocking that we both had to put the hammers and nail guns down for a moment and simply absorb the moment," said Josh Arnett of The Singing Contractors.

"We are in disbelief yet we are so thankful," added Singing Contractors' Aaron Gray. "It's unbelievable what God can do! It's just as unbelievable that people want to hear two guys who wear big beards belt out a few tunes!"

Their recent chart success comes on the heels of their guest appearance on Fox & Friends, where the duo performed an a cappella version of their title track, along with a heartrending version of the patriotic tune "God Bless America." While in New York celebrating their release, the pair also spoke with Guideposts, FoxNews.com, Fox Nation's Starnes Country, The Todd Starnes Show of Fox News Radio and more.

Complementing the 16-track project, the Indiana natives released a LIVE performance DVD of the new faith-based collection, filmed live at Gaither Studios. The DVD also includes a special interview of the powerhouse duo sharing their unlikely story with gospel legend Bill Gaither. “The Singing Contractors are the real deal," shared Gaither, recording artist and founder of Gaither Music Group. "It is no wonder millions of people are following them on social media. What you see is what you get, and they were a delight to work with.” A national television special premiered this month on RFD-TV, and will air again on RFD-TV Feb. 28th at 6:30pm and again on Mar. 2nd at 6:00pm. The special will continue to air this spring on numerous networks throughout the U.S. including DISH TV, DirecTV, TBN, RFD-TV, GaitherTV, FamilyNet, CTN, GMC, GMTN, Guardian, Liberty, TCT and TLN. It will air in Canada on Vision TV, CTS, The Miracle Channel and Hope TV.

SKILLET FRONT MAN JOHN COOPER LAUNCHES "COOPER STUFF PODCAST" Personal, Fun and Reflective Podcast Available Now via Skillet’s YouTube Channel, iTunes and More

February 13, 2019

Nashville, TN…..February 13, 2019 – Taking a cue from what he gets asked about most from fans, a desire to have some fun and to live out the golden rule, multi-platinum and GRAMMY® nominated Skillet front man John Cooper has officially launched his “Cooper Stuff” podcast today. Available on Skillet’s YouTube Channel, iTunes and more, Cooper's goal is to post a new episode each month. With the first installment launching just before Valentine's Day, the theme of the debut podcast sees Cooper taking an honest, no holds barred approach to what makes a successful relationship - drawing from his 21 year marriage to Korey Cooper.

“In many ways the social media world has created an angry culture where people are constantly screaming at each other over philosophical, theological or political differences,” explains Cooper. “I meet people who are honestly confused about how to live and how to be a good person. People wonder if it’s more virtuous to love and accept someone they disagree with, or to stand up and scream at someone they disagree with. I started the Cooper Stuff podcast for multiple reasons -- it’s a more in depth look for the fans into who I am and what I think, but it’s also meant to be comic relief for an increasingly angry and stressed out world. I want to talk about living life in a really simple way. I want to share the Biblical foundations for the reason I hold these beliefs. It’s not actually that complicated to be civil to those who disagree with you- to be fair and honest- and to treat others the way you want to be treated-all while seeing the brighter side of life.”

Currently working on their 11th studio project scheduled to release later this year (Atlantic), Skillet will once again tour with Breaking Benjamin and Fight The Fury for dates in March and April. Known for their vast tour schedule, the dates will be followed by a trek through the Russian Federation. Tickets for the two month trek are on sale now.

The band’s latest effort, Unleashed, also recently garnered RIAA Gold status selling over 500K copies. The distinction follows suit with the lead single, "Feel Invincible," which was RIAA Gold certified in 2018. Unleashed is the fourth consecutive Skillet record to receive certification of either gold, platinum or double platinum. Likewise, "Not Gonna Die" just earned gold distinction, as found on their RIAA Gold certified album Rise.

The multi-platinum selling group closed out 2018 with over 1 billion streams worldwide. Skillet again claimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Year-End Christian Streaming Songs Artist Chart – an honor they have held since the chart’s inception in 2014. The now RIAA Gold certified album Unleashed placed No. 9 on Billboard’s 2018 Year-End Top Christian Albums Chart. The band's double-platinum track “Monster” topped the Christian Streaming Songs 2018 Year-End Chart, while also claiming the No. 7 and 8 spot with “Hero” and “Feel Invincible” respectively. Skillet was No. 5 on the 2018 Top Christian Albums Artists Year-End Chart

About Skillet:

Skillet has cemented their place as one of the 21st century’s most successful rock bands. Selling more than 12 million units worldwide, the Wisconsin quartet have received two GRAMMY® Award nominations and won a Billboard Music Award for the double-platinum certified Awake. Their double-platinum single “Monster” currently has over 129 million plays (and counting) on Spotify, earning the distinction of becoming “the best-selling digital single in the history of Christian Music” and continuous mainstay on Billboard's Year End Chart. 2013’s Rise bowed at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 upon release and received resounding and eclectic acclaim from the likes of USA Today, New York Times, Revolver, Loudwire and more. Their latest album, Unleashed, debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 and topped Billboard's Top Christian albums chart. The first single “Feel Invincible” went to #1 on the Rock Radio chart, and earned RIAA Gold Certification. The track “Stars” was featured in the soundtrack for the motion picture The Shack. Stemming from Unleashed, Skillet was nominated for three additional Billboard Music Awards. Their songs have been used by the WWE, Marvel, ESPN, NHL, MLB and the NFL to name a few. While steadily headlining their own tours in addition to performing with some of the biggest rock acts in the country, their live show has become a global force to be reckoned with, selling out shows in London, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Warsaw and more.

Called "breathtaking" (Louder Than The Music) and "good medicine for these troubled times" (Jesus Freak Hideout), the 11-track album is a moving collection of hymns carefully selected from Groves' personal list, with each song having provided a source of healing and comfort to the singer/songwriter throughout the years.

"Jesus, See The Traveler" is now available here.

Sara Groves is a singer/songwriter and recording artist with numerous album-of-the-year honors and a career spanning two decades. For the past 14 years she has partnered with International Justice Mission (IJM.org) to advocate for victims of human trafficking and other forms of violence against the poor. Groves, her husband Troy, and their three children (Kirby, Toby & Ruby) reside in St. Paul, MN where they cultivate an artist community out of a 110 year-old church called Art House North (www.arthousenorth.com). Following the release of her 13th studio album, Abide With Me (2017), Groves’ newest, "Jesus, See The Traveler," is available now.

Real-Life Chronicles Of 13 Courageous Women Unveiled in Mercy Multiplied’s Nancy Alcorn’s New Book - Treatment or Transformation: 13 Real Stories Why You Can’t Argue With A Changed Life

February 5, 2019

Popular Netflix Series And Suicide Prevention Serves As Impetus

Empowering Book Drenched In Transformation and Freedom Available This March

*Nancy Alcorn, Founder and President of Mercy Multiplied*

Nashville, Tenn. (Feb. 5, 2019) – Readers will meet brave women like Heather, Kirstin, Franny, Matilda and more in Treatment or Transformation: 13 Real Stories Why You Can’t Argue With A Changed Life (March 1) the latest from Mercy Multiplied Founder and President Nancy Alcorn. The book of renewal spans stories of women choosing to reach out for help in the face of anxiety, eating disorders, abuse, depression, suicidal ideation, unplanned pregnancy, drug use, unhealthy relationships and more. Alcorn journeyed with these women through her work with Mercy Multiplied, an organization she founded in 1983. She writes from the belief that transformation and freedom is available for all.

Treatment or Transformation: 13 Real Stories Why You Can’t Argue With A Changed Life comes in the wake of the popular Netflix Series, 13 Reasons Why which Alcorn admits was painful to view, but beneficial because of her line of work. “It broke my heart to watch the series 13 Reasons Why, because I quickly realized how many young women who walk through the doors of our residential program have similar struggles as the girl featured in the series,” says Alcorn. “We’ve had numerous young women walk through our doors who have attempted suicide and almost succeeded, but they were able to find an alternative and a place to receive healing through Jesus Christ. Because they chose to seek help, these women are now reaching their potential and are college graduates, counselors, doctors, business owners, missionaries, mothers, etc. and are living full and healthy lives. At Mercy, we understand it’s the things people are dealing with and the pressures of life that cause them to choose suicide. I want everyone to know there is a different way and through these inspiring stories, I want to especially encourage those who are contemplating suicide to choose a different outcome and ask for help.”

Stemming from her experience in the Department of Corrections and Department of Human Services, Mercy has grown in 35 years to encompass a completely free residential counseling program helping young women ages 13-32 alongside an outreach department that provides transformative tools, training and resources nationwide through churches and Freedom Advocates. Mercy has served thousands of women through Mercy homes in Monroe, La., Nashville, Tenn., Sacramento, Calif. and St. Louis, Mo. International affiliates exist in the United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand.

“I am on a mission for faith to be built up in the heart of anyone who reads this book,” explains Alcorn. “There is no such thing as a life that cannot be transformed when someone allows God to work in their heart and life. My hope and prayer is that these 13 stories will encourage the reader to believe for greater levels of freedom in their own life.”

February 1, 2019

Nashville, Tenn. (Feb. 1, 2019) - Viral sensations The Singing Contractors released their highly anticipated Working on a Building, Hymns & Gospel Classics with Gaither Music Group today to critical acclaim. A collection of unique renditions of beloved hymns and gospel classics, Today's Christian Entertainment said there is "no doubt that The Singing Contractors inspire as they use their God-given talents to serve others both with music and through putting in an honest day’s work of construction," also making note of the pair's "strong vocal performances and a clear desire to encourage listeners' spirits and point them heavenward." The Christian Beat called the debut "a refreshing change of pace in CCM that is sure to continue their viral success."

The foundation of the unlikely pair, comprised of Aaron Gray and Josh Arnett, stems from a viral video of their poignant rendition of "How Great Thou Art," performed in an unfinished corner of a home remodel which led to over one million views in almost 24 hours. Gray shared exclusively with Billboard, “I believe the album shows that we are just two simple guys and very raw, but thankful to have such an unbelievable opportunity.” Hallels said this of the pair's performance, "They both can sing and when they harmonize with each other, they complement each other so well that you may even think they were proteges of the Cathedrals or the Oak Ridge Boys."

The Singing Contractors will be celebrating their release in New York City this Monday, taking center stage on Fox & Friends. Tune in Monday morning at 8:50a ET to watch the pair perform LIVE the title track and beloved hymn from their new recording, Working on a Building. The contagious viral duo will also be sharing their story with Guideposts, FoxNews.com, Fox Nation's Starnes Country and more.

Complementing the 16-track project, the Indiana natives released a LIVE performance DVD of the new faith-based collection, filmed live at Gaither Studios. The DVD also includes a special interview of the powerhouse duo sharing their unlikely story with gospel legend Bill Gaither. “The Singing Contractors are the real deal," shared Gaither, recording artist and founder of Gaither Music Group. "It is no wonder millions of people are following them on social media. What you see is what you get, and they were a delight to work with.” A national television special premiered last night on RFD-TV and will continue to air this spring on numerous networks throughout the U.S. and Canada.

The Singing Contractors are also inviting fans from across the country to join them tonight, Feb. 1 at 6:30pm ET for a special Facebook viewing of Working on a Building.
