Strait Street Music Group and The Leonard Lothlen Project present the powerful new single, "Sad Day," featuring vocalist Alfern Webb-Brown. This song was written to compel those who don't know Christ to come to him before it's too late. There will come a time when people realize that there are consequences for sin and the deeds done in this life. In this future, a reckoning will be required, and payment for all wrongdoings will be dealt with, lest you repent. The good news is, Jesus is standing with his arms open wide to welcome you into his family. While you still have the chance, accept him into your life. The alternative to not knowing Christ will be a Sad Day. Please, "Don't let it be said too late."

Strait Street Music Group and The Leonard Lothlen Project present the upbeat new single, "Reunion," featuring The Sons of the Soul Revivers. This song celebrates the familiar occasion of a family gathering. It inspires images of sunshine and picnic tables, the smell of the grill and sweet potato pie, and the sounds of laughter and conversation. While seeing one another again and enjoying the fun camaraderie accompanying these gatherings is the primary focus, other things happen simultaneously. Long-kept secrets are exposed, excessive consumption of substances occurs, and arguments may ensue. However, the love and joy inspired by the reunion are the focus and priority of the day. As America and the World emerge from the isolation imposed by the pandemic, we will all have a chance to embrace and rejoice in a reunion with our larger family of humanity. May we honor those lost with a greater effort to love one another.
