We love helping others and believe that’s one of the reasons we are chosen as Ambassadors of the Kingdom, to serve God’s children. We look to the Greatest Commandment as our Powering force.
The six songs on the record include collaborations with artists like Beam, Brandon Love, Chandler Moore, Pink Sweats, Tori Kelly and Lauren Walters. Each song features a strong Christian message, including one track that features mild language.
Another unique guest on the album is Bieber’s pastor and long-time mentor, Judah Smith, leader of ChurcHome.
“Who is this Jesus?” Smith questions on the album. He recounts the life of Jesus. The question is presented from the perspective of a skeptic. It ends ultimately with Smith saying, if all that is historically known about Jesus is true, then “there is nobody like Jesus.”
In another song, Smith assures listeners from the perspective of God that all of their concerns will “be alright.”
