NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 29, 2024)
To rejoice this Easter season, Matthew West is set to take the stage at Fox & Friends to close out their Faith & Friends Concert Series with a performance of his latest single “Don’t Stop Praying” on Easter Sunday (3/31). Fox & Friends Weekend airs from 6-10am EST, check your local listing. The track, which is a call-to-action, a charge, for believers around the world, is currently in the Top 15 on the AC monitored radio chart and Top 20 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart. The West and Jeff Pardo penned tune is also spending its 11th consecutive week on the Top 200 Christian & Gospel On Demand Streaming Chart. To continue to serve as a powerful reminder to all, West also unveils his new “Don’t Stop Praying” mural at Nashville’s L&L Market – which he even helped paint.
“I’m very excited to be back on Fox to perform my new song! The response to ‘Don’t Stop Praying’ has blown me away and I can’t wait to share it on Easter Sunday,” shares West. “It’s always an honor to be able to share my faith and a message of encouragement on a national stage.”
Additionally, West released his sixth book, My Story, Your Glory on March 19 (K-LOVE Books). He wrote this 30-day devotional to help guide readers to discover how God’s love can rewrite our stories and explore how God’s glory redeems every chapter of our lives. With My Story, Your Glory, which was inspired by his hit song and No. 1 album of the same name, it is West’s goal to help readers reflect on the less-than-perfect parts of their lives and to point them to examples in Scripture and how God redeemed their stories while encouraging them to give God the glory in both the best days and worst days.
