What a night at Free Chapel in Gainesville, Georgia! Pastor Jentezen Franklin opened the doors to
the Worship Center welcoming the Grammy winning, reigning GMA Dove Male Vocalist and Artist of
the Year, Jason Crabb. This wasn’t an ordinary concert, but a special night of celebration of the highly
anticipated release of LOVE IS STRONGER. Jason was joined by family, friends, special guests and a
house packed with enthusiastic fans eager to sample the new music. This new music is geared up to
reach all ages, genres and the world with the love of Christ.

Following a warm introduction, Jason claimed the stage in style- all dressed up in a hot pink jacket! He
opened the night with the first track off the album, “Give.” Judging by the crowd’s response, it was
obvious from the first few lines of the song that Jason’s new music was going to be received well.

The crowd listened intently as Jason sang “I’m a mess today cause yesterday I followed the desires of my
foolish heart into the dark…Feeling far away, need a couple days to work real hard to hit the mark to
get myself back in good with you. What a waste, what a losing game cause…..” After the pause, Jason
broke into the chorus… “That’s What The Blood Is For,” and the crowd broke out into applause, many
rising to their feet. “What The Blood Is For,” written by Ronnie Freeman and Tony Woods, is Crabb’s
first single to Southern Gospel radio.

Sprinkled throughout the night were video messages of congratulations from Barbara Mandrell, Larry
Gatlin, Kari Jobe and also Bill Gaither. All were personal and meant to be treasured by Crabb, but Bill
Gaither’s words were profound: “…You’re changing the world,” Gaither commented.

Finding it hard to find the right words to express gratefulness, Jason welcomed Wayne Haun and
Jay DeMarcus to the stage to discuss2462MEDIA$IMAG0160 the production of the album. Everyone
laughed as Jason admitted to how nervous he was during the project’s beginning stages. Both Haun and
DeMarcus had encouraging words for Crabb and expressed high hopes of the record crossing over into
the mainstream market. “It’s time we let the world in on our little secret,” DeMarcus said. The crowd
clapped, cheered, and whistled in enthusiastic response!

Pastor Jentezen Franklin spoke similar words of encouragement for the album to go beyond the
Christian market and prayed over Jason with boldness and great faith. Obviously humbled, Jason was
grateful for the words of life spoken into his ministry.

Jason was also thankful that longtime friend, best-selling author, Andy Andrews made an appearance at
this special occasion. As soon as Andrews won the crowd with humor, he deposited spiritual truths into
their hearts.

In the course of the evening, Jason showcased the increasingly popular, “Let Mercy Hold You,” and
introduced the song “Near.” Again, the crowd responded in heart-stirred worship standing on their feet
with hands lifted high.

Garnering the most intense response from the audience was “Love Is Stronger.” Being true to his “real”
and transparent character, Jason openly shared a personal experience regarding a recent incident

with his wife’s health. He testified of God’s healing power, but also how their strong love got them
through the trial. Jason then sang the lights out to the album’s title cut. Soaking in the unforgettable
moment, Jason’s brother Adam was one of the first people to stand as Jason’s powerful voice rang out
the powerful message. To say it was received well is an understatement. It seemed the whole crowd
unanimously agreed that this is a song the whole world needs to hear.

Although there were many cameras rolling, more than likely a sweet moment wasn’t captured on
tape, but it was precious indeed! Jason’s daughters kept themselves busy and entertained with their
games on their tablets throughout the night. But, there was something special about Jason’s tender
performance of “Satisfied” that caused them to lose all interest in their own quiet activities. The girls
were literally captivated and drawn in by their dad’s singing in such a sweet way! As the song came to
an end, their hands went up as if they were waiting for just one other person in the audience to start the
applause. As soon as that happened, they clapped vigorously and let out a sweet yell- clearly identifying
that song as their favorite- at least their favorite song of the night.

Before the night came to an end, Jason turned to the band asking for the key of “D” and then sang…”So
many times I’ve questioned…” Needless to say, the whole crowd jumped up and joined Jason in singing
on one of the greatest songs of our time, “Through The Fire,” penned by Jason’s father, Gerald Crabb.
The moment was incredibly sweet as many people sang it from their hearts, testifying to the truth of the
song’s powerful message. Jason then grabbed his guitar and followed up with another smash hit written
by his dad, “Sometimes I Cry.” The crowd loved it!

The LOVE IS STRONGER CD Release celebration was an incredible night and the album itself promises to
touch the hearts of many. Although the future looks incredibly bright for the album, Jason exposed his
heart by ending with “I’d Rather Have Jesus.” Well- it almost ended there- Jason did delight Jentezen
Franklin with his personal request, “I Saw The Light.” The crowd left blessed!In the world of Southern Gospel Music, Jason Crabb is definitely not a little secret, but it is definitelytime to share Jason Crabb with the rest of the world! It is exciting to see his ministry grow and to watch

his music transcend genres. We’re praying for Jason’s new music to spill over into the mainstream
reaching many with good news of Jesus Christ! If there’s ever been a time the world needs to know
this message of love, it is now. The release date for LOVE IS STRONGER is March 12. Visit http://
