Good Friday Worldwide

It’s Easter Week, and for Artist Newsday, we talked about Chris Tomlin who is preparing for his annual event, “Good Friday Worldwide”.

“Good Friday Worldwide” will take place (as you would expect) Friday, April 15th starting at 8:00pm EST. The live stream can be found at facebook.com/christomlin.

“There’s nothing like being there with people and gathering with people. It (Good Friday Nashville) just keeps growing and growing and growing … with what we’re able to do,” Chris said. “But the heart of it is the same. Coming together to remember the cross, to remember this weekend. That’s what Easter is: It’s a remembrance of what Jesus has done for us.”

“Good Friday Nashville is one of the most rewarding things I have ever been a part of. When this event began 5 years ago, I had a dream it might become an annual thing…a tradition for family and friends to come together, to celebrate, to remember,” shared Chris. “As we got closer to that first Good Friday, I felt a need to make this night more than just a concert. My wife, Lauren, and I had felt a calling to shed light on the foster care and adoption crisis in our nation. It was through that and our first Good Friday that our non-profit, For Others, came to be. And so, each year Good Friday Nashville benefits helping children find forever homes across our state. So, when you join us for this powerful night of worship… know that you are a part of making a difference in so many lives.”

Now I ain’t nothing perfect
I still stumble every single day
I still get knocked down
But the difference now
Is that’s not where I stay

We had a stumper this week, so make sure to tune in next week for a chance to win two Voice of The Cougars Drawstring Backpacks and two Easter Devotionals from Our Daily Bread!

Thanks for listening,
