Today on the show I shared tips on how both you and your child can prepare to go back to school. I also want to wish all of the students good luck as they start the new school year!

Here is my story about this band getting back together:
The band is back together, literally. Tenth Avenue North is returning to touring with their “Invited Tour.” This tour is based upon their new single “Invited.” That’s not the only reason though, the band will also be sharing fan favorites from years past.
Here is what founding member and frontman Mike Donehey had to say about the band getting back together, “After a four-year hiatus, we are back and better than ever.” “[We have] some new songs and some new players, [and] we are ready to lose our voices with you. Come join us on the Invited Tour hitting stops nationwide this fall.”
With over two decades of nearly two million albums sold and multiple Dove Awards, Tenth Avenue North sensed that God had something else in store for them. A farewell tour was planned in 2020 but was disrupted by the pandemic. The four years following the break sharpened the band’s focus and God used what they thought was an end to create room for them to experience Him in a new way. Releasing new music and the upcoming tour, Tenth Avenue North is ready to get on the road, bringing along new artist Natalie Layne.
Here is what Mike Donehey said about adding Layne, “We’re beyond thrilled to announce we are bringing new rising star Natalie Layne with us. We caught her set at a festival last year and were blown away by her musical prowess and captivating personality. We guarantee these will be unforgettable nights of new Tenth music and classic Tenth songs you’ve come to love.”
The band’s last stop will be in Ashland, Ohio on October 20th. Tickets are on sale now.
So we sing praise to the Father who gave us the Son Praise to the Spirit who’s livin’ in us When I was a sinner, He saved me from who I was.
