40 Days and 40 Nights of Christian Music Continues at the Ark Encounter

Our Saturdays have been very busy at the Ark Encounter (and at the Creation Museum too) as thousands of guests pour in and pack the house for the 40 Days and Nights of Christian Music concerts.

Recent Saturdays have included our resident artists TrueSong, CAIN, Riley Clemmons, Mac Powell, and Cochren & Company. Jeff Kapusta and Marc Pritchett gave the Bible teaching and gospel presentations.

We encourage you to join us and bring an unsaved loved one or friend with you. Check out the schedule for the upcoming concerts—including names like Casting Crowns, Karen Peck & New River, Selah, and more still to come—at the Ark Encounter and select days at the Creation Museum. The world’s largest Christian music festival ends September 7, 2024.

New Music from TrueSong

We’re excited to announce that True Song is releasing three new singles over the next few weeks.

The first single, available now, is “He Is Jesus.” Here’s what TrueSong says about their newest song,

The goal for this song was to create an opener. We really wanted the audience to be comforted from the beginning of a concert with the message that they are welcome. Even more importantly, we desired for them to hear that having questions is ok and that Jesus is the answer to those questions.

The first lines of the song even say that if you’ve been asking questions and trying to find your place, we have the answer. The scripture the chorus leans on is John 14:6.

This song is special because it is designed to connect with each member of the audience regardless of where they are on their spiritual walk. It is welcoming while still proclaiming truth.

“Nothing Like the Blood” and “All Things” will be released over the next 4–6 weeks. “Nothing Like the Blood” was written by the TrueSong members along with three other writers.

The morning before the song was written, Zach Loyd mentioned that Don Pfeifer, a close family friend/pastor/evangelist, used to say, “When you are trying to figure out what to preach or sing about, always preach or sing about the blood.” This idea sparked the goal of emphasizing the significance of the blood and Jesus’ sacrifice.

It was also a goal to incorporate the foundational ideas of some of the older hymns but package them in a fresh, modern sound. This was a special song to finish because it was the first song we wrote entirely as a group.

“All Things” is based on the truths found in Romans 8:28.

One verse that has spoken to me for my entire life is Romans 8:28. The idea that all things work together for the Christian is comforting and encouraging. I suggested that we consider a song based on this truth. We took this idea to a writing session with several writers, and they were able to help complete the song. It begins with a redemptive theme but quickly arrives at the song's message, Romans 8:28.

Catch these songs and more as they are released wherever you enjoy listening to music. And check out the 40 Days and 40 Nights of Christian Music schedule to see when TrueSong performs during this event or our daily calendar for their regularly scheduled performances.
