The musical production and vocal arrangement shine on THE JOURNEY includes several heavy-hitting collaborations. Among the highlights: Chaka Khan and Sheila E. on the upbeat anthem “All Around the World.” The incomparable Kim Burrell along with Take 6 beautifully deliver the stirring ballad “Faith” and the current radio smash, “Let The Church Say Amen” featuring Pastor Marvin Winans.

“The music reaches people. It can encourage them. I feel like I have to do it because there is somebody out there who needs to hear the gospel,” said Crouch. “That’s all I want in life is to be remembered as a guy that really loved God. I want God to use me.”
