Matthew’s heart behind the album:
Matthew wrote his new album All In with the goal of encouraging himself and others to get up off the sidelines of their faith and really live it out – to go all in in your time with God, all in with your family, all in with your community, and all in battling your fears that may hold you back from becoming who God made you to be. Along that same theme, Matthew will be launching a 6-week All in Challenge on his social media starting 9/18, and each week Matthew will be challenging his fans to go all in in a different part of their lives. What does it look like when a heart that knows Jesus takes a step and holds nothing back? How can we go All In in the places that mean the most?

My Thoughts and Review:
I have been a fan of Matthew West for a long while and was excited to be given the oppurtunity to listen and review his new CD, All In.
The New CD does NOT disappoint at ALL, it is OUTSTANDING! The title track, All In, really spoke to my heart. All In is about when giving yourself to the Lord, we need to be ALL In, Surrender ALL to God!!
The second song on the CD that really spoke to my Heart, is Broken Things. The message in Broken Things is that we are all broken inside, but God gives us Grace and has a seat waiting for us at his table if we just open our hearts to him.
Fans of Matthew West and of Contempory Christian Music, this CD is a MUST buy! I give this CD a 5 out of 5.
