This week’s premieres features the latest from a poignant singer-songwriter and those fun-loving punk rockers from Bremerton, WA.

Todd Agnew continues to showcase his poignant songwriting skills with Better Questions. This project takes the listener on a very deliberate journey, wrestling with the idea that our questioning does not minimize our experience of God, but rather enhances our relationship with Him.

Featuring epic songs like Peace On Earth, asking whether or not it’s possible to live in harmony, Martyr’s Song, focusing on what happens when we die and Still Has A Hold, which contemplates how God can hold on to us even when we can’t hold on to him. These songs drive us to our knees before an unknowable God who made Himself known to us.

The first single from the album is the Fernando Ortega and Mac Powell-penned Our Great God, a duet with Rebecca St. James.

Limited Edition CD/DVD combo includes a DVD featuring the World Vision documentary of Todd in Africa, the documentary of the complete recording process for Still Has A Hold; road community behind the scenes segment, studio behind the scenes segment, and a song discussion segment.
