Tauren Wells Fast-Tracks Release of 'Fight Like Heaven' After Overwhelming Fan Response
Today, ten-time GRAMMY nominee, eight-time Dove Award winner and Lead Pastor of Church of Whitestone Tauren Wells releases his brand-new single “Fight Like Heaven,” a rallying cry that feels profoundly relevant: “We don’t fight like the world fights. We fight like Heaven fights - with love, with truth, with hope.”
Wells first teased the song last week when he received the final mix from his producer. Although written and recorded months ago, the song’s powerful call to face darkness with love, truth and hope carries a striking resonance in light of the tragic events including the shocking and deeply disturbing assassination of Charlie Kirk. Moved by the urgency of its message, Tauren filmed a spontaneous video and shared a clip on social media. The reaction was immediate and overwhelming, generating thousands of views, shares and comments urging him to release the track without delay. Now with over two million views across platforms, the highly anticipated single has already become his highest pre-save and pre-add to date.
“Something came alive in me the second I heard the first mix. I felt the Holy Spirit say people need to hear this message right now. I couldn’t wait. I broke all the normal rules because this is the moment for “Fight Like Heaven,”” Wells explains. “This is a pivotal time in the lives of every single individual and especially those of us who claim to follow Jesus. We are to demonstrate the character of Jesus, the love of Jesus, and the courage of Jesus. This song is meant to be a clarifier of action, a clarion call for us to lift our eyes from all of the distractions and actually impact the world in a way that can make an undeniable difference.”
Continuing one of the most exciting and fruitful years of his career, in which he released his bestselling debut book Joy Bomb, Wells will return as host of the 2025 GMA Dove Awards for the third consecutive year as the show makes its historic move to Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena next month. The milestone highlights the surging influence of Contemporary Christian Music, a movement Wells has helped drive for more than a decade.
The new single arrives as Wells readies his next full-length album, which builds on the joyful, high-energy sound of his spring EP Let The Church Sing and reinforces his status as one of music’s most dynamic and influential artists. “Fight Like Heaven” is available now.
