Chris Tomlin

Good Deeds

Chris Tomlin has contributed to a number of charities throughout his life. He is a member of CompassionArt, which is a charity where several songwriters came together and released an album in 2008. Any profits the album generates are to be used to provide aid to people in poverty around the world.

Chris is also a member on the board of directors at CURE International, which he joined in 2014. CURE International is a non-profit organisation that is focused on providing medical assistance to children from developing countries.

In 2019 Chris and his wife, Lauren, also started their own non-profit organisation called Angel Armies, which works to bring ministries and people together in an effort to solve issues that vulnerable youth in the United States are currently having to deal with.

Relationship with God

Chris Tomlin is very dedicated to sharing his love of God with others and living a life that worships Him. He wants other people to be encouraged, uplifted, and refreshed by the hope and love that God can bring to their lives, as He has for Chris. And he sincerely believes that although he (and many other people) may not have his life completely together all the time, God is able to hold him together. That is why Chris does his best to write songs that other people can sing easily, so they too can worship and show their love of God through music.

In an interview, Chris explained that he finds the process of writing music to be quite difficult for him, which is why he enjoys collaborating with other artists, as he has someone else to bounce ideas off of. However, Chris said that when he does find inspiration to write music, he most often finds it in scripture. He explained it as reading through a piece of scripture and having a particular line or paragraph stand out to him, which sparks a whole song.

Recently Released by Chris Tomlin

Chris Tomlin’s most recent album is his 2020 release of ‘Chris Tomlin & Friends.’ The album brought together several of Chris’ artist friends and merged several genres of music together. Chris explained that many of the artists he worked with on the album, he had actually met by chance and felt as though God was really setting up this album to be made. The collaborations felt incredibly easy for Chris, despite the music not being like anything he had done before.

The album featured appearances by Thomas Rhett, Lady A, Needtobreathe, Florida Georgia Line, We the Kingdom, Bear Rinehart, Brett Young, Russell Dickerson, Chris Lane, Cassadee Pope, RaeLynn, and Blessing Offor. It debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart and was nominated for a GMA Dove Award in 2021.
