Mary Beth & Steven Curtis Chapman unveil crazy stories, hard-won wisdom from a 40-year marriage in their new book, “Still Here”

March 30, 2026 by Sheri Toomb

March 23, 2026 – NASHVILLE, Tenn. — New York Times bestselling author Mary Beth Chapman and multi-Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman have two new milestones to celebrate: 40 years of marriage and writing their first book together. “Still Here: Life Together on the Long Way Home” (B&H Publishing Group) reveals, for the first time, behind-the-scenes stories of a couple held together by divine grace and mercy.

The Chapmans’ story, which began as young love on a college campus, has aged into a cherished but challenging shared journey through the complexities of life. “Still Here” provides a vulnerable narrative from two imperfect people who love God most—and love each other almost as much.

Their book doesn’t sugarcoat the difficulties in their 41-year marriage. It goes into candid detail about fights, tragedies, and the strain brought by Steven’s career on the road. They forgo quick tips and hot takes, instead offering an authentic recollection of lived lessons and hard-won wisdom earned across four decades.

“Until now, we have shied away from writing about our marriage because we thought it might be disappointing for you. Our life is not set to the tune of a love song on auto-repeat—although one of us has sung a certain love song about 100,000 times by now,” they write in “Still Here.” “But maybe you need to hear that a couple can be a crazy mess today and, by the abundant grace of God, can still be only a sunrise away from another whole new beginning. It’s true. Not just for us, but for you too.”

The book’s title is a play on the title of “I Will Be Here,” Steven’s ode to faithful marriage that has become something of a wedding anthem.

In a recent interview, the Chapmans shared that they grow closer together by growing closer to God. “There’s a reason we’ve been married 41 years,” Mary Beth told BP News. “Those reasons are a lot of redos and a lot of bearing with one another in love and a lot of forgiveness.”

Steven agreed. “I guess if we’ve done anything well and right in this process, it has been very willing to acknowledge humbly that we don’t have it figured out, that we need help,” he said. “We need, ultimately, God’s help.”

Steven Curtis Chapman is the most awarded artist in Christian music history with 60 Gospel Music Association (GMA) Dove Awards, five Grammy Awards, 10 certified gold or platinum albums and an unprecedented 50 #1 singles.

Mary Beth Chapman is a best-selling author and chairman of the board of Show Hope. Together, Steven and Mary Beth are the parents of six children and grandparents to seven. They are the cofounders of Show Hope, an internationally recognized nonprofit organization dedicated to caring holistically for children and reducing barriers to adoption.

FrontGate Media marks 25 years as category-defining agency in the faith & family market

March 30, 2026 by Sheri Toomb

Award-winning firm has executed 7,500+ campaigns and built one of the largest engaged Christian audience networks

Orange County, CA — FrontGate Media, a leading marketing agency and media group specializing in the faith and family audience, is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2026—marking a milestone that reflects both longevity and category leadership in a highly targeted, values-driven segment of the market.

Co-founded in 2001 by Scott A. Shuford, FrontGate Media has evolved from an early digital media innovator into a full-service agency known for helping brands, nonprofits, and studios effectively reach Christian consumers at scale. Over the past 25 years, the company has executed more than 7,500 campaigns, consistently delivering measurable engagement across a rapidly changing media landscape.

Shuford launched the company following a decade in music, including roles with Frontline Music Group and Diamante Distribution, and the successful sale of early Christian digital property Gofishnet.com to Crosswalk.com. Recognizing an underserved but highly responsive audience, he built FrontGate Media to bridge the gap between mainstream marketing strategies and faith-based consumer and church leader engagement.

“Reaching 25 years is both humbling and energizing,” said Shuford. “From the beginning, our focus has been on authentic engagement—connecting brands with audiences in ways that are meaningful, not just transactional. That philosophy has allowed us to scale alongside our clients and remain relevant through multiple waves of digital transformation.”

FrontGate Media was among the first independent digital media groups dedicated exclusively to the Christian market—prioritizing quality of engagement over raw impressions. Today, its proprietary and partner network reaches millions through email, online, social media and influencer channels.

The agency has launched several proprietary marketing programs such as its Christian Podcast Tour, Influencer Group, Blogger Review Network, ChristianMomsBlog.com, Facebook Street Team Development and others, and maintains strategic representation partnerships with major faith-based and mainstream publishers and platforms, including Church Growth Magazine, The Christian Post, The Washington Times, NewReleaseToday, Worship Road Radio, Israel365, and more ​ providing clients with targeted, high-trust distribution channels.

Over time, FrontGate has expanded its capabilities to meet the evolving needs of advertisers and organizations operating in the values-based space. Its integrated service offerings include brand strategy, public relations, media buying, influencer marketing, event sponsorships, fundraising campaigns, and Emmy® Award-winning video production through its FrontGate Moving Pictures division.

Notably, the agency was an early adopter of social media marketing within the Christian market—launching dedicated services in 2007 and currently creating content and managing advertising across all of the major and conservative social and video sharing platforms, as well as Google and Amazon in the broader digital space.

FrontGate Media’s client roster reflects the breadth of its reach across sectors. The agency has supported campaigns for major nonprofits including World Vision (named its #1 eMedia partner for six consecutive years), Advancing Native Missions, National Day of Prayer, Focus on the Family, Open Doors, GFA World, and Pre-Born; leading publishers such as Simon & Schuster, Tyndale, HarperCollins imprints including Thomas Nelson, Zondervan and W Publishing; and entertainment releases including The Passion of the Christ, The Chronicles of Narnia franchise, God’s Not Dead, The Shack, and Heaven Is for Real.

Additional partnerships span churches, ministries, and educational institutions such as Saddleback Church, El Rey Jesus, Liberty University, and Dallas Theological Seminary, along with international campaigns reaching audiences in the U.S., Canada, Israel, the U.K., and Australia.

The agency has also played a role in high-impact cultural and humanitarian initiatives, including rapid-response digital campaigns during the 2004 tsunami relief efforts with World Vision and large-scale community outreach activations reaching tens of thousands of families.

With years of experience in event representation, FrontGate Media is also making a strategic shift to rebuild this sector which was heavily affected by the Covid pandemic. The agency currently represents the We Love Christian Music Awards, Christian Comic Arts Society and more.

FrontGate Media’s work has been recognized by leading industry organizations and publications, including coverage in ADWEEK and The Daily Beast, along with multiple honors from the Internet Advertising Competition and WebAwards. Its production arm has earned Emmy®, REMI, ICVM, ICFF, and CIFF awards.

As the company enters its next phase, FrontGate Media is focused on expanding its data-driven capabilities, leveraging emerging platforms such as streaming TV, and continuing to provide brands with strategic access to one of the most engaged and values-driven consumer and church leader segments.

“For brands looking to connect with faith and family audiences, authenticity and trust are no longer optional—they’re essential,” added Shuford. “That’s where we’ve always operated, and where we see the greatest opportunity moving forward.”

knk Software powers digital transformation at Concordia Publishing House

March 30, 2026 by Sheri Toomb

Concordia Publishing House, one of the nation’s most respected Christian publishers, has successfully modernized its business systems through a new implementation go-live with knk Software. With a long-standing legacy of delivering faith-based content and resources, Concordia recognized the need to unify its core operations and improve digital efficiency. To support this vision, the organization partnered with knk Software to consolidate its ERP and publishing operations into a single, integrated platform. This transformation enables Concordia to streamline processes, enhance data visibility, and better serve its mission in a fast-evolving publishing landscape.

Jeremy Roegner, Director of IT at Concordia Publishing House, shared his perspective on the decision to partner with knk Software: “We partnered with knk to consolidate our ERP and core publishing systems. We now have fingertip access to data we need for strategic analysis and the dashboard personalization needed to improve user experience. The ability to distribute title information with the latest ONIX standards alone is a big milestone.”

Concordia Publishing House faced operational challenges due to disconnected and outdated systems—EPICOR ERP, STAR Projects, and THINK Subscriptions—causing data silos and delayed updates. Daily batch processing hindered real-time decision-making, while Mac users struggled with limited system access. The absence of ONIX integration further complicated metadata distribution to trading partners. Additionally, data access and extensive customization to its base ERP platforms required valuable IT resources to maintain, making it difficult for staff to gain immediate actionable insights and software upgrades impossible. These issues slowed workflows, reduced collaboration, and limited Concordia’s ability to scale effectively in a fast-changing publishing environment.

knk Software provided Concordia with an integrated platform that unified ERP and publishing systems, streamlining operations and eliminating data silos. With knkMedia’s browser-based access, Mac users gained full functionality without workarounds. Real-time data processing replaced many of the traditional batch updates, accelerating insights and responsiveness. ONIX standard integration automated metadata delivery to partners, while personalized dashboards gave users intuitive, role-specific views of key data. The result is a more agile, connected, upgradeable, and user-friendly environment that supports Concordia’s publishing goals with greater efficiency and clarity.

Sebastian Mayeres, CEO of knk Software, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “We are thrilled to have Concordia Publishing House as our client. We’re excited about the potential time and cost savings they’ll be able to achieve through the consolidation of their ERP and other internal systems. Enabling instant and authoritative data access for Concordia’s users and stakeholders is a big part of this partnership’s success.

Mr. Roegner further elaborated on their choice, stating, “This implementation has positioned Concordia Publishing House for sustainable growth, as knk moves us from siloed systems using slower batch processes to real-time processing in a single platform that integrates with our eCommerce platform.”

knk’s solution provided Concordia Publishing House with an integrated ERP system to better manage royalty and license tracking, financial management and reporting, process automation, and scalability & integration. By implementing knkMedia, Concordia Publishing House is now able to achieve greater operational control, cost savings, and improved partner relations – ensuring its international business scales efficiently while maintaining compliance and focus on its mission.

Matthew Burdette promoted to Senior Editor at PRH Christian, to lead growth of Catholic imprint Image

March 30, 2026 by Sheri Toomb

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — March 26, 2026 — Penguin Random House Christian Publishing Group has promoted Matthew Burdette to Senior Editor for the Image and Forum imprints. Continuing to report to PRH Christian Editorial Director Madison Trammel, Burdette is taking an expanded leadership role driving strategic growth for Image, the division’s Catholic publishing imprint.

“Matt is a deep thinker who brings astute cultural and theological analysis, curiosity, and unexpected insights to every proposal that he considers and manuscript that he edits,” said Trammel. “He’s worked with established authors like Ronald Rolheiser and the Henri Nouwen estate while also discovering promising new voices like Claire Morell, author of The Tech Exit.”

In recent acquisitions, Burdette secured rights to a new format of The Catechism of the Catholic Church. He has also played a key role in deepening the division’s engagement with Catholic audiences, cultivating relationships with partners including the Hallow app, agents and ministry leaders.

Among his most notable forthcoming projects, Burdette acquired North American rights to Vatican reporter Elise Ann Allen’s Pope Leo XIV, a highly anticipated biography of the new pope. The title builds on Image’s longstanding position as a publishing home for works by and about popes, an area Burdette is expected to further develop in his new role.

Strategically, Burdette will help lead growth initiatives for Image, focusing on expanding title output, increasing market share and strengthening the imprint’s profile as a leading Catholic publisher. With a legacy spanning more than 50 years, Image has been a cornerstone of Catholic publishing, and Burdette will work to extend that heritage with a new generation of titles. Upcoming books on his Image list include The Resistance by Fr. John Riccardo, The End of Sex by Abigail Favale and The Whole Way by Tsh Oxenreider.

He will also continue acquiring for Forum, the division’s imprint on cultural and political thought, with forthcoming titles such as No Contact by Noelle Mering, The New Feminine by Rikki Schlott, and Breaking Our Fever by Former Senator William H. Frist scheduled for release over the next 18 months.

“Matt is admired by authors, agents and colleagues alike for his intellectual rigor and appreciated for his kind collegiality,” added Trammel. “We’re grateful for his many contributions and look forward to seeing where he will lead Image and Forum in the years ahead.”

Image and Forum are imprints of Penguin Random House Christian Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House, LLC.

Mundo Cristão and Globo announce landmark partnership

March 30, 2026 by Sheri Toomb

Brazilian Christian publisher opens a new screen pathway for juvenile fiction by Brazilian authors

Mundo Cristão, one of Brazil’s leading Christian publishers, today announced a new exclusive first-look agreement with Globo, Brazil’s dominant media company, granting Globo a first option on screen adaptations from Mundo Cristão’s line of juvenile Christian fiction by Brazilian authors.

The first title selected for adaptation is Círculos não são infinitos (Circles Are Not Infinite) by Vitória Souza, a standout work in Brazil’s growing young adult Christian fiction space. This agreement represents a landmark moment for faith-based publishing in Brazil, creating a new pathway for original Christian storytelling to move from the page to the screen with the support of the country’s most influential content platform.

For Mundo Cristão, the significance of this relationship lies not only in Globo’s scale, but in its unique ability to bring Brazilian stories to a truly national audience through broadcast television, streaming, digital media, and premium audiovisual production. Globo describes itself as the largest media company in Latin America, with content reaching millions of Brazilians across platforms each week, while Globoplay has become one of Brazil’s most important streaming services. In that context, this unprecedented relationship marks a strategic opening for explicitly Christian-rooted narratives by Brazilian authors to enter the mainstream cultural conversation with excellence, credibility, and broad reach.

About the author
Vitória Souza is a business administrator by training who found in books a way to overflow her love for Christ. Born in Belém, Brazil, her late love for books began during the pandemic, and in 2021 she started writing her own stories. Today, at twenty-five years old, she hopes to keep writing about eternity, until the day it becomes her reality.

About the publisher
Founded in 1965, Editora Mundo Cristão is a reference in the publication of Bibles and fiction and non-fiction books guided by a balanced and historical Christian theological stance. With a diverse catalog, the publisher promotes the spiritual and personal growth of its readers. Instagram: @mundocristao
