Quotes to live by from participating artists
“We as a body, we as Christians have a legacy to lead about love. We want to allow it to permeate and leave God’s legacy behind.” – Lauren Daigle
“I think receiving an award is sometimes a challenge for us. Thank you so much for believing in us. We’re better together!” – King and Country
“The great thing about a song is God takes your life and I’m so grateful for the church. We live in a tie where music is in a weird place. I just want to thank Jesus for the church.” – Matt Maher
“The theme better together, I’m so excited about this. Revival is going on. I see it in the theater. I’m so excited to stand shoulder to shoulder with my brothers, to see massive change. I’m excited to be up next with Woodlawn, a story about Revival. A story in 1974 to see what God did in the Jesus movement. God did it once with the Jesus movement. We need it again.” – Andrew Erwin
“What we have here is three pastors, one microphone, and an enthusiastic audience. You know what that can mean…..” – Phillips Craig and Dean
“My prayer is that I don’t want anything to upstage me. I want my flesh to die and him to rise so he always shines!” – Erica Campbell
“My prayer is that God keeps me at his feet. He keeps me humble at his feet.” – Tasha Cobbs
