Yesterday was a big day for Jonas Brothers fan as their new project “A Little Bit Longer” hit store shelves and became available for download. Last month Miley Cyrus’ new project “Breakout” was released. Next month these two major teen stars will be sharing the same stage for a benefit concert in support of City of Hope.

This September the Disney Music Group artists will take the stage at Disney’s “Concert for Hope,” a benefit concert supporting cancer research and treatment programs at City of Hope.
The show will be held Sunday September 14th at the Gibson Amphitheater at Universal City. Tickets for the concert will be available this Saturday August 16th beginning at 10am through Live Nation or Ticketmaster.

City of Hope Pres./CEP Michael A. Friedman, M.D. said…

We are honored and grateful for the generosity of Disney, Creative Artists Agency and the dedication of Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers in supporting the lifesaving work of City Of Hope. This Concert for Hope demonstrates their commitment to improving the lives of patients with cancer and to helping create a future in which cancer is not only treatable, but curable and preventable.

Now that’s showing the love of Christ to a hurting world. I also wanted to take this opportunity to share a comment we got the other day from Heather about the Jonas Brothers music…

First of all — what a great blog concept! I think the Jonas Brothers live lives that speak volumes about the love and hope offered in Christ. I’m a 27-year-old fan that came to be so after investigating these guys that had each of my nieces so completely enthralled. Because I’m supposed to be the “young cool aunt”, I take it as a personal responsibility to be relevant for them and know about their passions and interests. So, of course, I had to find out how much damage control I needed to do (totally under the radar of course) over these guys. Well, after really looking into their lyrics and watching and reading multiple interviews I was amazed at how the way they live their faith — the way Christ is so evident in their lives — began to inspire me. They rarely speak overtly about their faith and honestly, they rarely need to. These boys honor their parents, they honor their fans, they remain completely humble and grateful for everything that God has given them. People talk about their purity rings as being one of the main signs of their faith but I’ve seen young stars talk about purity before and there isn’t much in the way they act that makes you believe it. These guys live in such a way that I would believe it whether I saw the rings or not. It’s not within human nature to live the selfless and genuine lives that they live. It’s only evidence of being a new creation. I don’t mean to glorify these boys as much as I mean to highlight the “fingerprints of God” on their lives. I’m sure they would be the first to confess that everything that they are is a precious gift of grace. Christ has used them to make me take a serious look into my life to see if I’m dying to self and letting Him live through me in the same way. Do I have those goods? They’ve really stirred that desire up in me. I want to be that city on a hill. I may not have millions of teenage girls monitoring every move I make, but can people see Christ in me? I hope so. So, for any of you wondering whether they really have a ministry? Well, they’ve certainly ministered to me. They’ve challenged me in my own faith. And beyond all that….I’ve totally become a HUGE fan of their music…Burnin Up….Tonight…..WYLMITE….Hello Beautiful…..That’s Just The Way We Roll…..I’m LOVIN IT!!!! Heather

This comment is exactly why Scott & I felt so called by God to start this blog. We pray that He continues to use our gifts and talent to reach the lost and encourage the saved through a love for music.
