The Newsboys have long had the ability to find the magic and keep churning out the hits. One of the most interesting transitions in the band's history came in 2009 when lead vocalist Peter Furler exited the group after more than two decades. Fans feared that might be the end of the beloved band, but instead the Newsboys recruited Michael Tait, formerly of the pioneering trio dcTalk, who had been fronting his own band Tait.

"Going from a bald headed white guy Australian to an African American with dreads, that's a massive change," said Duncan. "If we were to have tried to get a Peter look alike or someone that was Australian, it just would have come across a little disingenuous, but I think the fact that we went with someone completely different -- although as risky as it was -- it just worked. And those fans that were with us all those years knew who Michael was. He was the same age as us, same kind of heritage. Obviously, now it looks like a stroke of genius, but it was a risk. We had no other option. Our backs were against a wall. He needed a gig. We needed a singer, and there's no doubt in my mind that God put this thing together."

Not to be disrespectful (my GD and I loved the first movie) but shouldn’t this be God’s Still Not Dead?

Thanks for putting this up.

Saw them at a friend’s church and they were great!

What do you think of this band singing “God’s not dead”

I saw the first one and it was very well worth the time it took to see.

Used to play some Newsboys tunes back in my band days.

The fair haired bass player from NZ brought some good stuff. Tait was a good choice to replace Furler.

I still miss Delirious though.
