The contemporary Christian band All Things New desires to use music as a vehicle to spread the gospel.
The group is made up of lead singer Garrett Hornbuckle, guitar player Jeff Stein, drummer Luke Wycuff and keyboard player Drew Moenning.
During concerts the group emphasizes the message of 2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here.”
Their sophomore album, “The Good News,” features songs celebrating the gospel message.
“There is so much brokenness in this world but there is something powerful when you put the gospel and music together,” Hornbuckle said. “It really changes lives. Some people would be hesitant about walking into a church so it’s easier for them to walk into a concert venue with friends. From there they can hear about the hope of Jesus and be transformed.”
Their radio single, “Can’t Hold Me Down,” is currently the second most added song at Adult Contemporary Radio as well as New and Active on the National Audience chart.
The song is based on Romans 16:20, “The God of peace will soon crush satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.”
“No matter how hard the battle is that we are facing, we will never lose with God on our side because our God is undefeated,” Hornbuckle said. “A lot of people including myself have listened to the lies from the enemy that they are not good enough. Believing the truth will set us free because God’s Word declares that we are His children and co-heirs with Christ. My prayer is that we will all grasp that truth and live it out; that nothing can hold us down.”
‘Be the Change Tour’
All Things New is currently on the “Be the Change Tour” along with the bands OBB and SHINEBRIGHT. In November the group will be performing at the Christian Educators Conference in Daytona Beach, Florida.
“God wants us to live a new life and experience the freedom that comes from a personal relationship with Him,” Hornbuckle said. “Our songs are just words and lyrics but what really changes lives is the Spirit of God moving through those songs. We’ve heard powerful stories of redemption and reconciliation that encourages us to keep pressing on.
“From this album and our concerts, I hope people will realize that they are worthy and loved by God unconditionally. A lot of people struggle with identity, insecurity and self-image. When we are playing shows our goal is to speak against the lies from the enemy and share the truth that comes from God’s Word that we are redeemed because of what Jesus has done on the cross by defeating death.
“The whole record is about simple truths of the gospel: that we are loved, forgiven and there is grace. We are accepted and loved because of Jesus.”
