The Big Picture is the third studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Michael W. Smith. It was released first on vinyl and cassette around May 1986 and later on CD on July 9, 1986 by Reunion Records. The title comes from the track "Pursuit of the Dream," in which it is heard a few times, but also applies to the variety of themes for young people to learn about from the songs. That track instructs on pursuing goals, and other themes include the folly of escapism ("Lamu"), sexual abstinence before marriage ("Old Enough to Know") and maintaining a self image ("You're Alright"). The mostly instrumental track "Tearin' Down The Wall" opens with a reverse snippet of Amy Grant's "Emmanuel." The album was produced by Smith and John Potoker with most of the songs written by Smith and studio musician and songwriter Wayne Kirkpatrick. The Big Picture is listed at number 21 from CCM Magazine's 2001 book 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music. The album peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. In 1987, Smith won the Dove Award for Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year and was nominated for a Grammy for Best Gospel Performance, Male for the album. In 1987, Smith wrote his first book, along with Fritz Ridenour, based on songs from The Big Picture for teenagers about life and relationships called Old Enough to Know, named after the track from the album.

Disappear is the fifth studio album by the Christian rock band PFR. It was originally released by Steve Taylor's Squint Entertainment label with distribution by Word Records on July 3, 2001. Disappear was meant to be the band's triumphant return after a five-year hiatus. Produced by longtime collaborator Jimmie Lee Sloas, it featured a raw, more mature, and edgier pop-rock sound compared to the highly polished production of their 1990s records. However, the album became famously "lost" due to terrible timing. Right as Disappear hit store shelves, their record label, Squint Entertainment, abruptly went out of business and shut down. All promotional backing and physical distribution halted overnight, causing the record to literally "disappear" from the market and leaving it heavily overlooked by the general public. After 25 years in the shadows, PFR launched a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2025 to reissue the album. Close to 600 backers pledged more than $47,000 to bring the project to life. Disappear was fully remastered by multi-Grammy Award-winning audio legend Ted Jensen and was officially reissued and self-released on vinyl and CD. A special edition was released as a two-vinyl set with the first LP containing the original 10 tracks remastered and the second LP containing three live recordings of "Falling," "Closer" and "Missing Love" and a rare bonus track titled "Same Thing" on one side and five demo tracks of songs from Disappear on the flip side. The 2-LP set is in blue marble and was autographed by all three members on the album cover. Disappear charted and peaked on the following Billboard album charts: -#16 Top Christian Albums -#28 Heatseekers Albums -#17 Top Independent Albums The album, during the Kickstarter campaign, was made available as a digital download order when the purchaser makes a pledge. As of June 23, 2026, The band self-released Disappear to digital platforms for the first time. A YouTube playlist is posted below this article. After the release of Disappear, PFR broke up for a second time until they reunited in 2004 for a week to record The Bookhouse Recordings. Track listing on the CD version 1.

Revelation is the ninth studio album by the Christian rock band Third Day, released on July 29, 2008 by Essential Records/Provident Music. Starting with this release and in subsequent releases, Third Day became a four-piece band as original guitarist Brad Avery left the band but was an additional musician on this release. For Revelation, Third Day worked with producer Howard Benson, who is a two-time Grammy nominee for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical and has produced mainstream acts like Kelly Clarkson, The All-American Rejects, Santana and Seether and has produced some Christian rock acts like Skillet, P.O.D. and Flyleaf. The band aimed to produce a southern rock album while being creative musically; Third Day felt the result was their best album to date. As a whole, the album is noted as adopting a heavier and edgier rock sound than Third Day's previous adult contemporary-projects such as Wherever You Are, while the album's lyrics reflect Christian themes. The album features guest appearances from Daughtry lead singer and American Idol finalist Chris Daughtry, Lacey Mosley of Flyleaf (on two tracks) and pedal steel guitarist Robert Randolph. Benson decided to work with Third Day after Daughtry drew attention to lead singer Mac Powell's vocal ability. Although they were initially uncomfortable working with Benson, Third Day achieved a positive working relationship with Benson, who felt that their different religious beliefs (Benson is Jewish) made them challenge each other in a way reflected in the record. Revelation was preceded by its lead single "Call My Name." Lyrically, it has been alternately described as being set from the perspective of God or being a cry out to God. It was released to both Christian CHR and AC radio formats and it became an immediate hit topping both Billboard and Radio & Records Christian music charts. It was the band's second multi-format hit since "Cry Out to Jesus." The title track was the second single released and topped the Christian AC chart on both publications, while peaking at number 3 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs and Christian Airplay charts and making the Top 10 on the Radio & Records Christian Inspo chart. Released concurrently was "Run to You" peaking in the Top 10 on R&R's Christian CHR chart while peaking at number 30 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs and Christian Airplay charts. The final single "Born Again" peaked in the Top 5 on the Billboard Christian charts and peaked at number 41 on the Billboard Heatseekers Songs. Revelation became Third Day's fourth number one album on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart and debuted and peaked at number 6 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart. It is Third Day's highest charting album on the latter chart and at their highest position to date during their career. The album sold 75,000 copies in its first week, besting their number 8 peak of Wherever You Are which sold 63,000 copies in its first week. The album also charted and peaked on the following Billboard album charts: -#2 Rock Albums -#6 Digital Albums -#3 Top Catalog Albums in 2011 Third Day earned accolades for this release including their only American Music Award win for Favorite Christian Inspirational Artist in the fall of 2008 and in 2009, they won Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year at the 40th GMA Dove Awards. The album cover won Recorded Music Packaging of the Year awarded to the art designers and for photography. The album cover is of Salvation Mountain, a monument created by Leonard Knight located in Calipatria, California, with the song titles of Revelation composed on it, "to send [Third Day's] own message of God's love to the world." According to bassist Tai Anderson, the idea to use Salvation Mountain as the album cover art was Powell's idea. Revelation was Gold certified in 2010 by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) giving them their sixth Gold album. That same year, "Born Again" was nominated in two Grammy Gospel categories: Best Gospel Performance and Best Gospel Song. Track listing All songs written by Mac Powell, except where noted. 1.

Wherever You Are is the eighth studio album by the Christian rock band Third Day, released on November 1, 2005 by Essential Records/Provident Music. The band and well-known "go-to" producer Brown Bannister, each produced six tracks. Wherever You Are deals with some personal tragedies from among the band mates as they forged its finest work to date with a collection of material that ranges from raging rockers to contemplative worship songs. The release opens with the take-no-prisoners urgency of "Tunnel" and finds lead singer Mac Powell offering hope in the face of difficulty and backed by the driving guitar work of Brad Avery and Mark Lee. The first single, "Cry Out to Jesus," is a song Powell wrote after a heartbreaking tragedy that struck a family living in his neighborhood, who lost their young son around Christmastime. It serves as a raw emotional lifeline for people facing immense pain. The lyrics speak directly to those dealing with loneliness, grief, addiction and broken relationships and reminds listeners that their is hope for the hopeless and love for the broken heart. "Cry Out to Jesus" was immediate out-of-the-box hit on Christian radio and topped both Billboard and Radio & Records Christian music charts across the board. The second single "Mountain of God" was another immediate hit. The track centers heavily around the idea that spiritual growth requires enduring hardships. Lyrically, it's a confession about realizing you were never actually alone during your darkest moments, even when you felt broken, afraid, or lost. Powell co-wrote "Mountain of God" with Bannister. Like "Cry Out to Jesus," the track also topped the Christian music charts. Grammy winning vocalist Ashley Cleveland provided guest vocals. Wherever You Are debuted and peaked at the top of the Top Christian Albums chart and made it first Top 10 appearance on the Billboard 200 chart peaking at number 8. The album was Gold certified in 2006 and then a decade later was Platinum certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of a million copies. It is the band's second and final Platinum selling studio release since Offerings. "Cry Out to Jesus" is the band's first Gold certified single selling half a million downloads in 2018. In 2006, "Cry Out to Jesus" won Third Day Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year at the 37th GMA Dove Awards and in 2007, the band won their third Grammy Award for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album at the 49th Grammy Awards. Some later editions of Wherever You Are were later released.

Wire is the seventh studio album by the Christian rock band Third Day, released on May 4, 2004 by Essential Records/Provident Music. The album was produced by Paul Ebersold. Wire returned Third Day to their rock and roll roots and was largely carried by the energetic guitar riffs that pervade its songs, although the forceful lyrics also contribute significantly. The album's songs deal with numerous themes. "Wire," the title track, is a song about the pressure to succeed in modern society. "I Believe," "I Got a Feeling," "Innocent," and other tracks deal with sin, faith, and renewal from a Christian perspective. "Billy Brown" is a song that explores the readiness of people to follow and even idolize entertainment figures. Wire was preceded by two singles: "I Believe" was sent to Christian AC radio and "Come On Back to Me" to Christian CHR and Christian Rock formats. Both songs charted on Radio & Records in their respective Christian format charts and both songs went Top 5. It was a different story on the Billboard Christian music charts as "Come On Back to Me" peaked at number 21 on the Hot Christian Songs and Christian Airplay while "I Believe" topped at number 1 on the Christian AC Airplay chart and peaked at number 3 on the Hot Christian Songs and Christian Airplay. Their further single "You Are Mine," which explores themes of divine grace, human brokenness, and gratitude for Jesus Christ's sacrifice, was the band's first multi-format single on Radio & Records, charting on CHR, AC and Inspo, their first appearance on the latter chart. Wire debuted and peaked at number 12 on the Billboard 200 while it topped the Top Christian Albums chart. It is their first number one Top Christian Album title since Time. Third Day collected their fifth Gold certification for Wire by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) by the end of the year. In 2005, Third Day won their second Grammy Award for Best Rock Gospel Album at the 47th Grammy Awards and later won a Dove Award for Rock/Contemporary Album of the Year at the 36th GMA Dove Awards.
