NEWEST RELEASE FROM THE DIAMOND SESSION:

HOPE BEYOND DESPAIR

This song has had a special place in my heart since its release two years ago.  It was written by my friend and worship leader Ian Zumback.  Ian is part of the Old Bear Records family and has been putting his unique spin and tone on Christian music for years.  He has become a friend and source of encouragement and wisdom to our church and family.  He is truly one of the best humans to enter my life in a while.  This song, “Hope Beyond Despair” is a song about where we find peace in the turbulence of this world.  And it’s a reminder that the Lord accompanies us through it all.  In a time in history with so much despair, unrest, and injustice, this is the message that we, as the Church, want to promote.  The Lord is strong and can handle anything because He made everything. 

2 Corinthians 12:1 - That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Thank you Ian for allowing us to do a rendition of your song.  I hope this messages reaches people in a new way and can reassure them that God is always in control and can get us through anything.

Psalm 121 1:I - lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth
