So excited to have returning guest Kate Stanford back again to discuss the launch of her new single "Stand On Your Promises." The new single is now available on all platforms. Below is the official press release and all available links. NEWS SOURCE: Biscuit Media GroupApril 18, 2024 Nashville, TN — April 18, 2024. Kate Stanford, an emerging powerhouse in Christian music, is thrilled to announce the release of her latest single, "Stand on Your Promises." Produced by Sam Hart, known for his exceptional work with artists such as Big Daddy Weave, Meredith Andrews, Unspoken, and Sanctus Real, “Stand on Your Promises” is available tomorrow, April 19, on all major streaming platforms. "Stand on Your Promises is an anthem of hope,” explains Stanford. “What originally inspired this song was my struggle with both physical and emotional pain. I have dealt with chronic migraines for the past year and could not get out of bed. This led me to be depressed and hopeless. But even in my darkest times, Jesus met me every step of the way. He answered my prayers and brought me out of the darkness. He gave me joy and hope and provided me with community here in Nashville. I want listeners to know that whatever they may be going through, it will get better. Stand on His promises and He will make a way for you.” Following Stanford's 2023 release, "Your Heart," which was produced by two-time GRAMMY nominee Cindy Morgan, comes the latest single. Kate’s unmistakable vocals and Sam Hart's unparalleled production expertise make "Stand on Your Promises" a must-listen for fans of uplifting and inspiring music. A native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Stanford’s musical journey began at a young age, singing as both a classically trained singer and a contemporary artist. Since 2019, she has released a series of acclaimed singles that have quickly found an audience on radio, streaming platforms, and social media.  Follow Kate Stanford on her socials for uplifting content, and to stay updated on her latest releases and performances: Website: www.katestanfordmusic.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katestanfordmusic/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/katestanfordmusic/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@katestanfordmusic Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC77qypb0RDT3d7iXUVJWMMw Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4BVwjeV33enWxFuRSwMNpk?si=_7ATuUzdQuexpENWD4Imkw --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aaronconrad/support

Today we continue our series for Grace Week with maybe the deepest episode of the week. Today we talk about "The Truth About Me." Pete Wilson shared the truth about him in his sermon (Episode 275) so today, I shared mine as well. This was pulled from a blog post I wrote back in 2010 called "I Hope You See Jesus." Pete and I discuss how sharing our truth, and exposing our hand gives others to do the same. We also discuss how we are not where we want to be but we are not where we were. We close with another song from Tori and Shanua. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aaronconrad/support
