Newsboys Step Boldly Into a New Era with Renewed Vision and Fresh Music
In the ever-evolving landscape of contemporary Christian music, few bands have weathered the winds of change as gracefully as the Newsboys. With a career spanning decades, the group has become synonymous with resilience, reinvention, and an unshakable commitment to their ministry. Now, as they navigate the departure of longtime member Michael Tait and step into a new chapter as a quartet, the Newsboys are proving that their mission—rooted in faith and fueled by worship—remains as vibrant as ever.
In a heartfelt statement released on March 3rd, the band—now comprised of Jeff Frankenstein, Jody Davis, Duncan Phillips, and Adam Agee—opened up about the challenges and triumphs of the past six weeks. “The last six weeks have been quite a journey, but through it all, God has continually shown His faithfulness to us. We are excited about our future, just the four of us,” the band shared.
This new season is not just about change; it’s about growth. The Newsboys are channeling their energy into fresh music, a testament to their enduring passion for worship and outreach. Their first release of 2025, How Many Times (Oh How You Love Me), is a reimagined version of a song that holds deep personal significance for the group. Originally penned by Adam Agee when he first joined the band, the updated track is a powerful declaration of God’s relentless love and grace. Set to release on March 14th, the song marks the beginning of a bold new chapter for the band.
“This version feels like the right song to share first as we enter this new season,” the band explained in their statement. “We’ve been working on new music this month, and we can’t wait to start sharing it with you!”
