Transcending the conferences, songs from Passion have become some of the most recognizable and unforgettable worship anthems of this generation. With 1.9 million units sold and a multitude of chart-topping singles such as “How Great Is Our God,” “God Of This City,” “One Thing Remains,” “Even So Come” and “10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord),” listeners across the world continue to be impacted by the music of Passion. Delivering new projects annually, songs from records such as Here For You, White Flag, Let The Future Begin, Take It All, Even So Come, Salvation’s Tide Is Rising and Worthy Of Your Name have become timeless staples in the Church. The four-time Dove Award winners have had nine albums debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s Christian Albums Chart with three hitting the Top 5 on the Billboard 200.

"The soaring choruses & melodies heard throughout Whole Heart capture the essence of modern worship as voices of the artists combine with the thousands who were in attendance of the Passion 2018 conference.

Passion’s Worthy Of Your Name Available In-Store After Chart-Topping Digital Debut

Nashville, Tenn. (March 24, 2017) – Passion’s latest album Worthy Of Your Name isnow available to listeners in-store, following its digital debut which hit No. 1 on Billboard's Top Christian Albums chart Feb. 17. Worthy Of Your Name was recorded live during Passion 2017 at Atlanta's Georgia Dome. The 13-track release features worship from the annual conference led by Passion's Kristian Stanfill, Brett Younker and Melodie Malone, along with Chris Tomlin, Crowder, Matt Redman, Christy Nockels and Hillsong UNITED. "Glorious Day” has just begun impacting radio as the first single from Worthy Of Your Name. Debuting last week on the Christian Airplay Chart, Seattle, Atlanta, Chicago and Austin are among some of the first markets to get on board.

Read what critics have to say about Worthy Of Your Name:

“…with albums as good as this, not only is it hard to find a weak spot or a let down, it’s also hard to separate the music from the worship experienced while listening. Given that, this is a great album, prompting focus, worship, and heartfelt praise.” – Church Mag

“Most of your favorite Passion Conference worship leaders are back with another big, bright outpouring of already or soon-to-be worship standards from this year’s final conference at the old Georgia Dome.” – Worship Leader

“When you’ve got the likes of Crowder, Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, and even a sit-in guest such as Hillsong UNITED, you expect the name of Christ to be sung and proclaimed to deafening levels. Emotional, passionate, reverent, and heart-felt are words best described by the contents on this edition” – CCM Magazine

“Worthy Of Your Name is a solid worship album that celebrates freedom in Christ and captures the faith-filled atmosphere of the live Passion conference while turning listeners' hearts to God.” – Today’s Christian Entertainment

“These are songs that remind us of the cross. They are songs that keep Jesus at the centre. They are songs that musically are of a very high quality, well mixed so that you can hear the crowd singing too, and they are songs that as you listen to them will fill you with joy and make you want to sing.” – All 4 God

Currently traveling on the 9th annual Rock & Worship Roadshow, the co-headliners will hit 23 markets across the U.S. on the tour, including Phoenix, Houston, Dallas and more. Among dates on the tour, Passion will team up with host Christine Caine on A21 and Propel Women's Night of Ministry, leading worship during the events.

Nashville, Tenn. (February 20, 2017) — Passion has unveiled their latest live album Worthy Of Your Name, available on all digital platforms now with physical albums available March 24.

"This album represents so much more than just new songs," Passion said. "It's the sound of hearts beating again. It's the sound of a generation coming alive in Jesus. 55,000 college students filled the GA Dome in January, but the after effect will last forever. It's finally here!"

The release features 11 live songs, recorded at Passion 2017 earlier this year along with two studio tracks. In conjunction with the album debut, Passion released a series of videos including a live performance and story behind the song for "Glorious Day" as well as a story behind the album video.

Glorious Day (Live) ft. Kristian Stanfill

More than 55,000 18-25 year olds from 90 countries and all 50 states packed Atlanta's Georgia Dome for the annual conference, bringing young adults from around the globe together to proclaim the name of Jesus. Spearheaded by Passion Founders Louie and Shelley Giglio, attendees heard from renowned speakers while joining in worship led by Passion (helmed by Kristian Stanfill, Brett Younker and Melodie Malone), Chris Tomlin, Crowder, Matt Redman, Christy Nockels and Hillsong UNITED.

This year, students made history by sponsoring more than 7,000 children through Compassion International, the most children to ever be sponsored at one event. Attendees fulfilled all remaining sponsorships in the countries of El Salvador, Rwanda, Tanzania and Indonesia as well as hundreds in Bolivia. Students have also continued to fight modern-day slavery through support of The END IT Movement along with gathering tens of thousands of new towels and socks for local Atlanta homeless shelters.

The album follows in the footsteps of beloved top-selling Passion releases, including last year's Salvation's Tide Is Rising, which debuted at No. 3 on Billboard's Digital Albums Chart and No. 6 on Billboard's Top Albums Chart. Worthy Of Your Name is available now.

Read more of what critics are saying about Passion: Even So Come:

"Passion, a ministry that has impacted millions of college students (and beyond) on a global scale—featuring timeless songs sung in churches every Sunday on every inhabited continent—continues to, and builds upon their legacy with Even So Come."
- CCM Magazine

"The album perfectly encapsulates the energy of the 40,000 plus college students in attendance while also controlling the unified talents and soul baring performances of the worshippers on stage."
- Breathecast

"What's most impressive is how these catchy songs will have you singing along at the top of your lungs after just a couple of listens. After an amazing run of new worship albums to start off the year, along come some of the best new original worship songs I've heard in the past few years."
- NewReleaseTuesday.com

“Passion has managed to create big worship anthems that leave the listener with their arms held high and their souls being washed by the Holy Spirit… These songs come to life in a different way than you could expect in a studio, and that's why the Passion albums always work so well.”
- Louder Than The Music

"Easily at the top of my favorites of Passion releases."
- Christian Music Review

"...This is the album to get above all others this year. The songs from this are bound to follow in the footsteps of previous Passion releases and spread throughout the church pretty soon."
- All4God

"I have owned and listened to nearly all of the live Passion albums, and Even So Come is one of the best.”
- Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk
 

Passion: Even So Come follows in the footsteps of many successful live Passion recordings this decade, including Passion: Awakening, Passion: Here For You, Passion: White Flag, Passion: Let the Future Begin and most recently Passion: Take It All, all of which have debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Christian Albums Chart.

Passion: Even So Come Set to Release March 17, Album Recorded Live at Passion 2015 Gatherings in Atlanta and Houston

Passion 2015 draws over 30,000 college students together
in three separate weekends

Students give nearly $1.2 million to spread the gospel
to unreached people groups

Nashville, Tenn. (February 4, 2015) – Featuring some of this generation's most acclaimed worship leaders – Chris Tomlin, Crowder, Matt Redman, Christy Nockels, Kristian Stanfill and Brett Younker – the new live Passion album Passion: Even So Come is set to release on March 17. 

The album was recorded in front of over 30,000 college students at three separate Passion gatherings in Atlanta and Houston. The new album follows in the footsteps of many successful live Passion recordings this decade, including Passion: Awakening, Passion: Here For You, Passion: White Flag, Passion: Let the Future Begin and most recently Passion: Take It All, all of which have debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Christian Albums Chart.

Passion 2015 was a three-day gathering on two separate weekends in Atlanta and a final three-day gathering in Houston. The conference was attended by a generation of 18-25 year olds from around the world and led by renowned pastors and teachers Louie Giglio, John Piper, Francis Chan, Christine Caine, Judah Smith, Ben Stuart, Matt Chandler and more.

Across the three gatherings, students were challenged to meet a goal of $850,000 that would support 10 people groups in 12 nations across the world in hopes that 19 million people will hear the message of Jesus for the first time. Following the final gathering in Houston, the total donations amounted to nearly $1.2 million.

Passion also continues to shine a light on modern-day slavery through the End It Movement. Leaders announced the new 27X7 initiative inviting advocates to create teams of 27 “freedom fighters,” representing the 27 million slaves around the world. Each “freedom fighter” will donate $7. All funds will be distributed among 16 coalition partners to support prevention, rescue and restoration efforts in the fight against modern-day slavery. Learn more and join the movement at enditmovement.com.

The Passion team announced that next year, Passion 2016 will consist of simultaneous conferences in Atlanta and Houston on January 2-4, 2016. They also announced plans to return to the Georgia Dome again in 2017.

Passion Founder and Visionary Louie Giglio Ushers in Advent Season with New Book Available This September, “Waiting Here For You: An Advent Journey of Hope”

Passion Founder and Visionary Louie Giglio Ushers in Advent Season with New Book Available This September,

“Waiting Here For You: An Advent Journey of Hope”

Nashville, Tenn. (July 30, 2014) – Founder of the Passion Movement and Passion City Church Pastor and Visionary Architect Louie Giglio will usher in the Advent season this fall with his new devotional and resource – “Waiting Here For You: An Advent Journey of Hope” (Passion Publishing) – available starting in early September. 

Daily readings of “Waiting Here For You” will offer passages of Scripture, meditations, words of encouragements and prayers encompassing the mindset of “waiting” during Advent season, and will remind readers that waiting is not wasting when you're waiting on the Lord. 

"The season of Advent is a celebration of hope, and 'Waiting Here for You' is a devotional guide filled with hope for everyone who is waiting: waiting on a solution, a diagnosis, a relationship, a breakthrough, a rescue,” says Louie Giglio. “From the beginning, the Christmas story has been one of fulfilled longing. It reaffirms our faith and gives us reason to celebrate the faithfulness and goodness of God. Sadly, the frenzy we call the holiday season is a mad dash of tinsel and toys, driven more by consumerism than anything else, creating a perfect storm of anxiety that can easily cause us to miss God’s voice. Christmas is about waiting and hoping in God. My hope is that this Advent devotion will encourage and fortify your faith so hope may bloom again."

Starting in September, the devotional will be available at key book retailers everywhere and passionresources.com.

A passionate communicator and leader, Louie Giglio is the Visionary Architect and Director of the Passion Movement, which includes the collegiate gatherings of Passion Conferences, Atlanta-based Passion City Church, Capitol Christian Music Group partner sixstepsrecords, and most recently Passion Publishing.
