Anne Wilson releases third book

Anne Wilson released her new book, Rebel: Following Jesus When the World Walks the Other Way. Following the success of her debut book, My Jesus, and her Hey Girl 40-day devotional, Rebel marks Wilson’s third book and continues to expand the faith-forward storytelling that has resonated across her music, writing, and live shows.

“Jesus changed my life when He showed me that following Him isn’t about fitting in, it’s about standing out for His kingdom,” shares Wilson. “Rebel is an invitation to live with that kind of bold faith. My hope is that readers walk away inspired to trust God more deeply, love Him more fully and courageously follow Him wherever He leads.”

Jenn Johnson released her debut solo album, HAPPY. Available now on all streaming platforms, the project releases alongside its focus track, “Happy,” featuring Abbie Gamboa. “My new album, HAPPY, is a mosaic – a walk through my life,” said Johnson. “A mosaic is made from broken pieces that come together to create something beautiful. In many ways, that’s what life looks like. Moments of joy, moments of heartbreak, seasons of growing, and seasons of healing. But through it all, God is present. This album is both a testimony and a promise that no matter what we walk through, God is always putting the pieces together and making something beautiful.”

Switchfoot releases new single

Switchfoot wrestles with tension and uncertainty in their new single “Absolution,” out now on all streaming platforms. The song is from their highly anticipated forthcoming album Forever Now, due June 26. “While writing ‘Absolution,’ I found myself wrestling with the contradictions within me, asking myself, ‘What wouldn’t I have done in my life? Can I make amends? Is there absolution for these things?’” said Jon Foreman, founding member and lead vocalist of Switchfoot. “I kept coming back to this idea from Carl Jung: ‘Until we make the unconscious conscious, it will direct our lives and we will call it fate.’ A lot of this record is about trying to unearth the things we want to keep buried and the parts of ourselves that inevitably surface in other ways.”
