Lauren Talley — “While There’s Time“

Award-winning Gospel singer-songwriter Lauren Talley delivers a beautiful and deeply personal reminder about the importance of loving one another with her new single, “While There’s Time.” Co-written with acclaimed Christian songwriter Dave Clark, the song began as a tribute to their late friends, the Nelons, but took on an even deeper meaning when Clark suffered a heart attack the day after they finished writing it. Thankfully recovering, he told Lauren that if this were the last song he ever wrote, he wanted its message to be about saying “I love you” while there’s still time. Built around dramatic piano and Lauren’s powerful, expressive vocals, the song challenges us to become voices of mercy, be the first to ask forgiveness, and the last to condemn. Its message is profoundly Christ-centered, reminding us that our faith should be reflected in how we treat the people around us every day. Life is precious, opportunities can disappear, and sometimes the most important words are the ones we haven’t yet spoken.

Joe & Beth — “I Stand Forgiven“

Christian husband-and-wife music duo Joe & Beth turn a deeply personal story of struggle, confession, and redemption into a powerful declaration of faith with their new single, “I Stand Forgiven.” Written by Joe Guerra, the song draws from his own journey through a painful season of hidden alcohol addiction, shame, and isolation, and the freedom that came when he finally brought his struggles into the light and surrendered them to God. Rooted in the biblical promises of 1 John 1:9 and 1 John 4:16-18, the song reminds us that God’s forgiveness isn’t reserved for people who have everything figured out. It’s available to those who come honestly before Him, trusting in His grace and love. With an uplifting Christian pop/rock sound and an especially powerful message, Joe & Beth remind listeners that our past doesn’t have to define our future, that confession can open the door to healing, and that no one is beyond the reach of God’s redeeming love.

Layton’s bright, expressive vocals pair wonderfully with Barnes’ warm, laid-back style, giving the track an easygoing charm that makes it feel right at home alongside the season’s favorite holiday duets.

Allen Scott – “Loser”

Allan Scott delivers a powerful personal testimony of redemption with “Loser,” an energetic contemporary Christian single about discovering that the labels we once carried no longer define us when we surrender our lives to Jesus. Drawing from his own history of addiction, bad decisions, and time spent in prison, Scott turns the word “loser” completely upside down, celebrating the things he has lost through God’s transforming grace: guilt, shame, addiction, and the chains that once controlled his life. The song’s memorable chorus declares that he has become a “loser of guilt” and a “loser of shame” because he found forgiveness when he called on Jesus’ name. It’s an especially meaningful message from an artist whose own life is living proof of the hope and restoration he sings about. With driving rhythms, honest vocals, and an unmistakably Gospel-centered message, “Loser” reminds us that no past is beyond the reach of God’s grace, and that what we leave behind when we follow Jesus is nothing compared to what we gain in Him.
