Audio Adrenaline gains momentum by staying focused on its mission

While performing and touring for nearly three decades Christian rock band Audio Adrenaline has become one of the most respected groups in the Christian music industry.

Along the way the group has received numerous awards and accolades including two Grammy Awards and five Dove Awards from the Gospel Music Association. They also have garnered 14 No. 1 radio singles with signature songs such as “Big House,” “Get Down” and “Hands and Feet.”

Through the years, the group has remained committed to its mission, ministry and message.

Although founding member Mark Stuart was forced to step down from his role as lead singer because of vocal chord problems, he is still heavily involved with the songwriting and decision-making process. He said he desires to help the group impact future generations for Christ.

Another significant change is the departure of the group’s co-founder and bass player Will McGinnis, who has increased his involvement with the Hands and Feet Project in Haiti.

Stuart’s parents served as missionaries in Haiti, and the experiences Stuart had there left a lasting impression on his life and inspired him to create the Hands and Feet Project in 2004. The goal of this project is to create a children’s village that provides a caring environment for orphaned children with a home, food, education and the love of a Christian family.

By using this platform to raise awareness for orphans in Haiti and around the world, Audio Adrenaline gains momentum by staying focused on its mission.

The new lineup for Audio Adrenaline features lead singer Adam Agee, bass player Dave Stovall, guitarist Brandon Bagby and drummer Jack Campbell.

“Hearing the old classics with the new message makes me proud to be part of a legacy that continues to focus on the glory of Christ and the absolute joy of becoming His hands and feet,” Stuart said.

Audio Adrenaline’s latest album, “Sound of the Saints,” chronicles the next chapter in the band’s journey with songs designed to inspire people to build a solid foundation of faith and encourage them to stand strong as believers. The album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart.

Agee said, “I think the most beautiful sound is hearing God’s children singing praises back to Him. I hope when people listen to these songs that they are encouraged to respond by walking in faith, to live out what they believe and to be the hands and feet of Jesus by meeting needs around them.”

One of their new songs, “Move,” was recently selected as the opening theme for “MLB Now,” which airs daily on the Major League Baseball Network.

“This song is about getting out there and making a difference in this world by telling others about Jesus,” Agee said. “You can’t do that if you are sitting in your living room. You have to get out and move.”

To encourage young people to reach out and make a difference in the lives of others, band members share about a variety of missions organizations during concerts. More than having a passion for music, the group has a calling to touch lives.

“During concerts, we want to encourage people to put the lyrics of our songs into action,” Agee said. “I am so excited to be a part of the ongoing legacy that is Audio Adrenaline and continuing to impact lives for God’s glory.”
