Jeremy Camp released a new album called Deep Waters! This album has 13 songs in it, including one song that we play here on WNZR titled These Days. Jeremy describes this album as a pop-infused reflection of the past two-plus decades of his life in the spotlight, as well as the appreciation for the moment of the now. He also recently had emergency heart surgery, so he knows the importance of living in the moment.
Jeremy had this to say about his album, “This record was written out of one of the most difficult yet profoundly beautiful seasons of my life,” he says. “Going through and expressing everything that God has unfolded over the years, including the challenges, joys, and pains that have led me into such a deeper connection with Him.”
His song “These Days” is currently top 2 in Christian Radio.
Here is Jeremy Camp’s song ‘These Days’:

Today on the show I talked about how Blessing Offor released a new track called Somebody’s Child. This song features a collaboration with Dolly Parton. This song is absolutely amazing! It is a song that reminds us that we are always loved and we are all somebody’s child!
Blessing Offor who is a two-time Dove Award winner announced recently that he has released a brand-new track called “Somebody’s Child”, which features Dolly Parton as a part of the collaboration.
Blessing Offor had this to say about his latest track, “We’re all ‘somebody’s child,’ he explains. “It’s such a simple concept, but I hope it’s the beginning of us all realizing that there’s always a point of empathy, there’s always common ground if we want to find it. And there’s no better embodiment of finding common ground, finding relatability, than Dolly Parton. I’m so honored and humbled to have her on this project.”
Dolly Parton had this to say about the collaboration with Blessing Offor, “I know it’s too easy to say it was a blessing singing with Blessing,” she says, “but it was. I love the song ‘Somebody’s Child’ and I am very proud to be a part of it.”
Blessing Offor is currently on a national tour with Lauren Daigle. They are coming to Columbus, OH on this Saturday, May 18th. They will be performing at KEMBA LIVE! concert venue.

The theme this year for National Day of Prayer is “Lift Up the Word, Light Up the World.” The theme verse this year is 2 Samuel 22:29-31, “For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. This God-His way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; He is a shield for all those who take refuge in Him.” Mike shared about the encouragement of these verses and how God being a shield for us helps us to overcome the obstacles we face.
