On the last day of the summer of 1948, 10-year-old Kath (Jennifer Miller) can be all the things she wants to be—baseball player, pirate, Tarzan, marble champion. Because she is entering the 6th grade, her mother (Radha Delamarter) has decided that Kath must get her pigtails cut off and a perm in her hair. Her mother’s desire to rearrange Kath’s hair is meant to change more than her looks. Kath’s father (Bill Vint), who helped Kath build a clubhouse and taught her to play baseball, is caught in the middle.

Yancy

Inspired to extend her musical influence to the parents and church leaders her children focused-music has equipped over the years, Yancy’s new adult-focused modern worship album started as a scripture-based lullaby project for her son. But as she worked in the studio, she realized that the music was shaping up to be something much more that what she first intended.

“’Roots for the Journey’ is incredibly different musically from what I’ve done these past few years,” says Yancy. “I’m so excited about this music that is unplugged, organic and simple. The songs are all based on scripture and the outcome is a really nice, chilled-out worship experience.”

Produced by Stephen Leiweke (Sara Groves, Jars of Clay), “Roots for the Journey” features an all-star list of players including Leiweke on guitar, Chris Donohue (Emmylou Harris, Bart Millard) on bass, Matt Stanfield (Kutless, Norah Jones) on keys, drummer Ken Lewis (The Civil Wars, Amy Grant) and cello contributions from Sixpence None the Richer’s Matt Slocum.

To help bridge this adult-oriented project with her younger fans, Yancy has created a free companion app that will help parents teach each song’s scriptures and Biblical truths to their children through devotions, conversations, prayers and activities.

For more than a decade, Yancy has released radio friendly pop/rock albums and multiple projects for kids and young adults, all while sharing the stage with such artists as Mute Math, Newsboys and Nichole Nordeman. As a writer, Yancy has teamed up with Third Day’s Mac Powell, wrote Avalon’s #1 hit “I Don’t Want To Go” (which Yancy covers on “Roots for the Journey”) and Jaci Velasquez’s “Something Beautiful,” and still found the time to compose two devotional books for worship leaders and musicians and a devotional book for pre-teens.

Yancy talks about the album.

Whosoever South

For many years hip hop has been mainly urban, even at times insulting to a rural audience. Whosoever South isn’t breaking the rules but they have expanded the game—cutting through the many misconceptions some may have about the South, rap, and even the Gospel. This debut album, “Goin’ Home”, will set the story straight. This Southern Georgia group made up of singers Rowdy Eunice, Sarah Eunice and Mike Mitchell produce a unique multi-genre sound of country, bluegrass, gospel and rap all mixed together.

“This is about where we’re from, where we’re at, but most importantly it’s where we’re going. Everyone has their roots—ours is the small-town South, Hip-Hop, and Jesus. That’s the truth.” –Whosoever South

How to Live Out of a Dream

Based on the true story of Pastor Tommy Reid, Senior Pastor of The Tabernacle, Orchard Park, NY and introduced by Paul Crouch Sr., TBN.

Discover God’s dreams! Build God’s Kingdom! Change the World!

Your destiny was in god’s heart before the foundation of the world! Your destiny is greater than any Red Sea! Your destiny is greater than any River Jordan! Your destiny can defy the laws of nature and cause the sun to stand still! Because your destiny was written before the universe was created.

Pastor Tommy Reid teaches us how to live out the God dream that is in all of us. The film reenacts pieces of his amazing life beginning at 8 years old when God healed him of polio, the affirming love and support of his mother who taught him it was okay to dream, and how his childhood friend Paul Crouch Sr. showed him that in Christ all things were possible.
