Rick Stephenson Releases 'Make It Real' Single
Rick Stephenson, a singer/songwriter from Johnson Creek, WI who offers traveling worship ministries, has released the latest single 'Make It Real', from his 'My Everything' album.
Rick has a passion for leading others in worship and has a creative way of expressing it through his music. He has won awards from the Song Door International Competition, Great Lakes Songwriting Contest and Write About Jesus. Rick has also had radio airplay of several of his songs including: "Sanctuary of My Heart", "You Gave", "Christmas Is Here", "God Himself", "Christmas Is Jesus", "Rebuild My Heart" and "Center of My Heart" on US and International stations as well as numerous Internet radio sites.
In 2005 he started his own ministry and in 2007, his own publishing company called N-Siteful Music to facilitate the release of his debut CD entitled Sanctuary of My Heart. The album examines one’s relationship with God. With pop sounds and eclectic styles, Stephenson’s debut is a unique blend of Christian music with a mainstream and pop style. The album has received many positive reviews for its uplifting and lively songs. Bev Moser of Music News Nashville wrote, “Each song on this project has a high-energy feel and an excitement of living life with the appreciation of Christ’s guidance.” Sanctuary of My Heart reveals Rick’s purpose in his music. He has now become both musician and minister.
Rick’s goal is that people are blessed by God through his ministry and songwriting. He sees himself as an instrument of the Holy Spirit - a musical messenger to lead others to intimacy with God. Stephenson explains “I love to see how a particular song will touch or encourage someone in my audience. I then know that God has used me to reach them. That is an awesome experience and an incredible responsibility for me.” According to Rick, “we are all on a spiritual journey to discover God and His promises.” If so, it’s certainly a unique journey that Rick Stephenson has taken on “El Camino” - “the path” from piano to promise in a truly evangelical evolution.
