Man Up: The Anthem and Campaign from Reach Records and 116 Clique
Men…What will you do with this life?
The Man Up Anthem brings together Reach Records’ artists in a campaign to promote Christ-likeness and Biblical manhood:
THE PROBLEM
There’s an ongoing war within urban culture. Confusion over what manhood is has plagued our cities, families and lives. The concept of a biblical man has been lost in our generation. Unfortunately, many churches struggle to provide its urban members, much less those beyond their walls, with a tangible definition of a real man.
THE CAMPAIGN
In partnership with ReachLife Ministries and Reach Records, Man Up is a new campaign, calling men in the hip-hop culture to true biblical manhood through repentance and faith in Christ.
The campaign consists of a short film, small group curriculum, music soundtrack and concert series. It is our call for men in urban culture to repent for their failure to become the men that God has created them to be and for believers to live as who they truly are in Christ.
THE SHORT FILM & CURRICULUM
The short film takes a look at six different areas of manhood that young men fail to live up to. By taking a look at the common challenges and responses of young men in urban culture, we hope to reveal the need for clarity on what being a man truly means.
A curriculum is also available through ReachLife Ministries to accompany the short film and promote further discussion in small group settings. Find out more at http://manup116.com.

Inspiration: Set the World on Fire from Britt Nicole & Kathryn McCormick’s Revolve Tour Dance
One of my favorite Britt Nicole songs is “Set the World on Fire” from her album “Say It” and her Acoustic EP. The lyrics talk about despite how small and weak we may be on our own, with God we can pursue His dreams for us and set the world on fire:
I wanna set the world on fire
Until it’s burning bright for You
It’s everything that I desire
Can I be the one You use?I, I am small but
You, You are big enough
I, I am weak but
You, You are strong enough to
Take my dreams
Come and give them wings
Lord with You
Nothing I can not do
Kathryn McCormick is a dancer you may recognize from Season 6 of “So You Think You Can Dance.” I got to see her in action last year at the Revolve Tour in Texas, and was inspired by both her moving performances and the story she shared about trusting in God’s plan and purpose for her life, especially in her journey of trying out for the show.
Kathryn on Facing the Seemingly Impossible
“How different would our lives be if we erased the word impossible? In fact, impossible is more than just a word, it’s a mindset. How many times a day do we doubt our potential? If we took a second to let go and allow ourselves to face the uncertainty of “impossible” events we may surprise ourselves. Uncertainty WELCOMES opportunity.” – Kathryn McCormick
Here is Kathryn McCormick at the 2011 Revolve Tour dancing to the song “Set the World on Fire” while Britt Nicole sings:
Kathryn also danced to the song “Who You Are” by Jessi J at Revolve. Here’s an in-studio clip that gives a closer look at her intensity and emotion:

Inspiration: We Are (Acoustic Version) From Kari Jobe
Kari Jobe’s new single “We Are” is inspired by 1 Thess. 5 and God’s call for us to be light in the darkness. You can get the single now on iTunes.
Every secret, every shame
Every fear, every pain
Live inside the dark
But that’s not who we are
We are children of the day
So wake up sleeper, lift your head
We were meant for more than this
Fight the shadows conquer death
Make the most of the time we have left
We are the light of the world
We are the city on a hill
We are the light of the world
We gotta, we gotta, we gotta let the light shine
– Lyrics from We Are
Watch Kari talk about the story behind the song below:
