FROM WINTER JAM STAGES TO THE WORLD: CLIFF PRESTON RELEASES THE LONG-AWAITED ANTHEM “TESTIFY”
Arenas across the country have been echoing with its message all winter long, and now listeners everywhere can finally join in. Artist and pastor Cliff Preston officially releases his vibrant new single “Testify” today, March 27th, in partnership with People & Songs. The track arrives as the 2026 Winter Jam Tour draws to a close, where “Testify” has already become the undisputed standout moment in Preston’s opening set each night. After experiencing the song live, fans repeatedly flooded the artist with one question: when can they stream it for themselves? Blending the storytelling spirit of Country Music with the uplifting energy of Contemporary Christian Music, “Testify” shares Preston’s real-life testimony of reckless youth before encountering Jesus and experiencing life-changing redemption. Driven by an infectious rhythm and a powerful sing-along chorus, the song celebrates the joy of “trading dark for the Mornin’ Light”—an invitation for every listener to discover the transformative power of grace.
For Preston, “Testify” is far more than a single; it is the story of his life. “I try to see people through the lens of what God has brought me through and saved me from,” he shares. “I believe that if God can love and use even me, He can love and use anyone.” That perspective has shaped more than two decades of ministry for the Smackover, Arkansas native, who began traveling in 2002 with bands and ministry teams. Along the way, he has shared stages with Chris Tomlin, Matthew West, MercyMe, Jeremy Camp, and Natalie Grant, while contributing songs recorded by artists including NewSong, JJ Weeks Band, and Carrollton. Now, through his partnership with People & Songs, Preston continues his mission of encouraging honesty, hope, and transformation. With “Testify,” he plants a flag for listeners everywhere that every story changed by grace is a story worth telling—and as audiences across the country have already discovered on the Winter Jam stage, it is a message meant to be sung out loud.
