Moody Radio morning drive-time host and Frontiers recording artist Perry LaHaie will perform songs from his new CD, Ahead, including his current single "Unqualified," on today's episode of LeSea Broadcasting's flagship program, The Harvest Show. Viewers can watch the live broadcast of LaHaie's appearance at 9 a.m. E.T./8 a.m. C.T.

"The Harvest Show has been making Jesus famous for years! That's why I'm so excited to be on the show," LaHaie says. "I get to add my voice to theirs and put the spotlight on the amazing-ness of God's grace and His heart to be made famous among all peoples!"

Ahead, which was released in March, is LaHaie's first album release since 2008, when the singer/songwriter released his debut, Endless Fields. He is currently touring the U.S. in support of the CD, as well as promoting the first single, "Unqualified." LaHaie co-wrote the song with Grammy-nominated songwriter Jeff Pardo (Mandisa, Francesca Battistelli, Kutless, Rhett Walker Band) and Ahead producer Andy Hunt (SHeDAISY, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors).

Inspiration for the new album, according to LaHaie, draws heavily on a quote from Dawson Trotman, the founder of the Navigators: "When you can't see very far ahead, go as far ahead as you can see."

"That's why I sing about reaching the nations and that's why I work with Frontiers," LaHaie says. "Although I cannot always see where my path is leading, God has made this very clear: I am compelled to share the Gospel with those who have never heard it. We are taking the Good News to Muslim people groups that have never had a chance to hear about Jesus. Several of the songs on my new CD are directly related to the mission work I do."

Ahead continues to expand the singer/songwriter's foray into the realm of guitar-driven, radio-friendly roots rock in the vein of Jason Gray, Andrew Peterson, Bebo Norman and Matt Maher. The new project was helmed by Grammy-winning engineer and producer Andy Hunt (Jaci Velasquez, Olivia Newton-John, Andrew Peterson, Buddy Guy), who encouraged LaHaie to explore new sounds and textures that embellished his bold, Americana style.

"My prayer for this album is that it will encourage listeners to take that next step into the freedom of the Gospel, and to take the next step in being a blessing to the nations," LaHaie says. "I think Dawson Trotman describes the life of faith really well-we take one step at a time in our spiritual journey, which incorporates two facets of our faith: the freedom we have in Christ, and our destiny as followers of Christ to be a blessing to people around us and to the nations."

While LaHaie has emerged as a singer/songwriter of formidable talent, he says his music is a means to an end, rather than an end in itself. "Writing songs for me is not a job; it is more like bearing fruit," LaHaie says. "We produced this album to inspire people to appreciate the depths of God's grace, and to recognize the responsibility and privilege of taking that grace to the nations. The love of Christ compels us to go."
