Brandon Lake vividly remembers the night a group of arena security guards accepted Christ during his Summer Worship Nights Tour with Phil Wickham.

It was 2023, the first year of the tour, and the two singers were on stage in the final moments of a concert, having asked members of the audience to raise their hands if they wanted to “start a relationship with Jesus or to rededicate their lives,” Lake says. Suddenly, Lake noticed a commotion in the audience, to his left.

“What had happened was when we gave this invitation to raise your hand if you want to say yes to Jesus, apparently a line of security guards all raised their hand,” Lake told Christian Headlines.

Christians in the audience surrounded the security guards and helped them take the next step on their spiritual journey.

“Many believers there that night ran forward and celebrated with the security guards,” he added. “It was just really cool. Because that's why we do this. It's not to entertain. It's to see people have an encounter with God.”

The lead actor in the new Angel Studios/Daily Wire film Sound of Hope says he believes the movie can spark an adoption movement within the body of Christ where families rise up to take in vulnerable children who need homes. Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot (PG-13) tells the inspiring true story of families in a small East Texas town who adopt 77 of the most difficult-to-place children in the foster system thanks to the leadership of Rev. W.C. Martin and his wife, Donna Martin.

It will hit theaters on July 4 and will be released by the same studio, Angel, that was behind the blockbuster movie Sound of Freedom exactly one year ago. This month, Angel and Daily Wire announced a partnership to release Sound of Hope.

At the end of the film, viewers learn that there are some 400,000 children in the U.S. foster care system, with 100,000 waiting to be adopted. Marvel star Letitia Wright (Black Panther, Wakanda Forever) is an executive producer.

Actor Demetrius Grosse, who portrays Rev. Martin, said, “We’re all called as believers” to care for the less fortunate. Grosse cited James 1:27: “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”

A new album by Grammy-nominated artist Danny Gokey includes his usual upbeat, hope-filled songs but also includes a track that warns about the deceptive nature of evil and urges the church to “wake up” to the lies society has embraced. “Evil is dressing up to fool the people,” Gokey told Crosswalk Headlines.

The 11-song LP, Sound of Heaven, releases July 26 and is Gokey’s fifth studio album with a mixture of worship, pop, and Latin sounds. One song from that album, I Got You, is currently on the Billboard Christian Airplay chart.
