Load Your iPod: A Year's Worth of New Praise and Worship

This summer Life Teen hosted three massive conferences for high school students: Steubenville East, Steubenville West, and Steubenville Atlanta. I called up each of our worship leaders and asked them what new music they played at each conference. If you are hungry for the same music that inspired you at the conference, you’ve come to the right place.

Ben Walther

Ben led praise and worship at Life Teen Steubenville East in Providence, Rhode Island. He also led music at Steubenville Florida in Palm Beach. Ben is based out of Houston, Texas. I asked Ben what he was listening to.

“My favorite new worship song this summer was Robbie Seay Band’s Let Our Faith Be Not Alone. To me, it’s a very Catholic song that reminds us that ‘we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses’ (Hebrews 12:1-2) – the Church triumphant! This song is featured on his killer new record, Miracle.”

“There are a few tracks I love by a band called Desperation Band, or New Life Worship. From their album My Savior Lives:

• Endlessly
• This Is Our God
• Everlasting God
• Promises
• Hiding Place

“Also, I love the Vancouver based Christian rock group, Starfield. Their albums contain great workout music, as well as some worship that will lift your spirit. Their 2008 album, I Will Go, features Brooke Fraser’s Hosanna, slightly rocked out.”
