Das Gebetshaus Freiburg ist eine überkonfessionelle Initiative von Christen aus verschiedenen Kirchen mit dem Anliegen, gemeinsam zu beten.

Unsere Kernvision ist es, in Freiburg einen Ort zu etablieren, an dem rund um die Uhr gebetet wird. Tag und Nacht, an 7 Tagen in der Woche und an 365 Tagen im Jahr sollen Lobpreis, Anbetung und Fürbitte nicht verstummen.

Dabei ist uns wichtig, in konfessionsübergreifender Offenheit zu leben und Christen verschiedenen Hintergrunds zu ermutigen, sich über ihre Kirchengrenzen hinweg zu begegnen und sich in verschiedenen Anliegen unserer Zeit sowie im Lobpreis eins zu machen.

I love my Jesus
Especially because of his mercy and never ending love for me!
He loves me and his love endures forever!
Unbelievable!

Some artists enter the studio determined to make a radical departure from who and what they are, or indulge some musical flavor of the month in a bid to expand the fan base. In either event, those strategies often backfire — though in staying true to his calling, GRAMMY® winner Chris Tomlin thinks not of popularity, but rather the populace his music can touch and encourage.

“I’m not trying to make a different kind of record,” says Tomlin of his latest effort, Love Ran Red “It’s still the same path I started down: writing songs for the church, songs people can sing, songs that connect with people in their heart and move them in a way only songs can. That’s not changed — and yet this collection I feel is the strongest I’ve ever done.”

That’s setting the bar quite high for his tenth studio recording, given that his last effort “Burning Lights” kicked off 2013 as a No. 1 album. It also led to sold-out tour dates, Billboard Music Awards, being named a BMI Songwriter of the Year and receiving the K-LOVE Fan Award for Male Vocalist of the Year and Dove Award for Songwriter of the Year.

Yet Love Ran Red picks up where its predecessor left off. True to its title, it expresses beating-heart faith and channels love’s ceaseless flow into a dozen songs to get the blood pumping and spirits soaring.

To that end, Love Ran Red shows Tomlin reaching and stretching forward, even as he leans back on what’s always worked best. Produced by longtime friend and collaborator Ed Cash (Kari Jobe, Vince Gill, David Crowder* Band, Dave Barnes, Steven Curtis Chapman), the album strikes stirring tones of hope, praise and the peace found only in God’s presence. 

"Christ says "Give me All. I don't want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want You. I have not come to torment your natural self, but to kill it. No half-measures are any good. I don't want to cut off a branch here and a branch there, I want to have the whole tree down. I don't want to drill the tooth, or crown it, or stop it, but to have it out. Hand over the whole natural self, all the desires which you think innocent as well as the ones you think wicked—the whole outfit. I will give you a new self instead. In fact, I will give you Myself: my own will shall become yours." (Scholar C.S. Lewis)

"Our desire is that these messages may be a supplement to your spiritual feeding at church and not a substitute. The advantage of Soundcloud in our modern world is an incredible privilege in order to develop in Christ yet they can become a source of mere information without practical wisdom and application. We pray that these messages may be of the greatest benefit to your life, in the transforming process of God's Holy Spirit to the glory of God."
