THE PLAYERS CHOIR
For fifteen years, the Players Choir has delivered one of the most highly-anticipated musical performances during the biggest weekend in sports, the annual Super Bowl Weekend. Making its debut in 2008 in Phoenix, Arizona during the 9th Annual Super Bowl Gospel Celebration (SBGC), the choir launched with more than 40 active and former NFL players under the direction of Grammy Award-Winning artist, Donnie McClurkin.
Created by Super Bowl Gospel Celebration founder Melanie Few and developed with a core group of Christian NFL players who wanted to share their faith through song, the Players Choir is on a mission: to inspire all within the sound of their ‘joyful noise’ to live on purpose and find success through pursuing their passion! Players Choir members have included some of the NFL’s most popular and talented players on and off the field, including Super Bowl Champions, Pro Bowlers, NFL Men of the Year and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees. Featured in top media outlets such as Good Morning America, CNN, FOX News, ESPN, Entertainment Tonight, The NFL Network and more, the collective’s popularity has led to performances benefiting charitable organizations such as St. Jude Children’s Hospital and the American Cancer Society. They have uplifted audiences with songs of praise at featured engagements for dignitaries and high-profile organizations such as The Pentagon, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, President Bill Clinton and The Trumpet Awards, to name a few. In 2022, the Players Choir participated in NBC’s America’s Got Talent. Current and former NFL Players appearing with the choir include Bryan Scott, Atlanta Falcons; Cameron Newton, Atlanta Falcons; Michael Gaines, Carolina Panthers; Stephen Pierce, Cleveland Browns; Nick Roach, Oakland Raiders; Tully Banta-Cain, New England Patriots; Tommie Harris, Chicago Bears; Jamon Brown, Los Angeles Rams; Prince Amukamara, New York Giants; and Dwayne Wright, Pittsburgh Steelers.

FAITH & FOOTBALL
You’ve heard it said, “The Game Of Life,” yet some of us would not find comparing life to a game correct, it’s not a game. However, the analogies of a contest or game in the daily happenings is easy to accept. In truth, there are references in the New Testament that assist that sport/life comparison: the fighter, the runner, the wrestler, etc. American Football is a staple of American Life just like Church, some are dedicated attendees, some know a little about it, but everyone knows it is there to embrace whenever chosen. Therefore, not too far-fetched to pull some faith truths and lessons from football.

CHRISTIAN MUSIC NEWS GLORY
MYLON LEFEVRE
Christian rock musician and Grammy Award winner Mylon LeFevre died Friday, Sept. 8 following a long battle with cancer. He was 78. LeFevre was best known for his musical work with his band Mylon and Broken Heart. He recorded more than 20 albums. In 1987, LeFevre won a Grammy and a Dove Award for his album Crack The Sky. He was inducted into the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame in 2005. His last album Bow Down was released in 2003, and was produced by his son-in-law and former Newsboys lead singer Peter Furler. LeFevre’s wife, Christy posted to Instagram following his passing... "When we discussed heaven through the years, Mylon was most excited about receiving the soul winner's crown. With his contemporary Christian rock band, Mylon and Broken Heart, he had the privilege of leading over 250,000 youth to Jesus. He cherished all the years of music ministry and the countless lives touched through his songs but his greatest joy was teaching the Word of God, especially through our broadcast, On the Road to Freedom.” Born on Oct. 6, 1944, in Gulfport, Mississippi, LeFevre's big break in the music industry came when Elvis Presley heard him sing a song he had written at the age of 17 of which Elvis later recorded for a Mylon album. LeFevre toured and recorded with many musical artists in the late 70s, including, Little Richard, George Harrison, Greg Allman, and Eric Clapton.
