It will air exclusively on TBN October 21 at 8 p.m. CT. The show you will see will be filled with great performances by Big Daddy Weave, Cory Asbury, Jekalyn Carr, for KING & COUNTRY, Kirk Franklin, Koryn Hawthorne, Lauren Daigle, Natalie Grant, Newsboys, Social Club Misfits, Tauren Wells, Tori Kelly, Zach Williams and Jason Crabb with Rascal Flatts.
I believe this show is the most under rated show in entertainment. The musicianship that these men and women display for he honor and glory of God should be recognized by more in the industry than it is.
