Benny DiChiara Returns for the Fifth Consecutive Year to the International Christian Media Convention

Singer/songwriter/survivor Benny DiChiara, lead singer and primary songwriter of the chart-topping indie Christian Rock band, Empowered, recently returned for the fifth consecutive year to the International Christian Media Convention (NRB 2025), held at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas.

During the convention, where he was promoting his band's upcoming project, SALT, DiChiara interviewed and met with Christian journalists from around the world.

As seen on CBN's flagship show, The 700 Club, and others, DiChiara shared his powerful testimony of surviving a traumatic brain injury that nearly took his life and his capacity to create music. Instead, he astonished doctors with a rapid and nearly full recovery, and the man who was once at the edge of life is now full of purpose and divine presence.

"Benny DiChiara is living proof that God can use anybody and every situation to serve His purposes," says Chris Carpenter, managing editor of The Christian Post's online magazine, Crossmap.com, who met with DiChiara at the conference. "What a miraculous story of being delivered from a life-threatening brain injury to making music that honors His kingdom."

While at the conference, DiChiara was interviewed and met with media outlets including The Christian Post's online magazine, Crossmap; Life Today TV with Randy Robison; Bill Martinez Live!; Walk in Faith TV; Christ For All Nations; Florida Nations Church; World Christian Broadcasting; MRG Media's Homeschool Companion; The Christian Car Guy on Truth Network; Lion and Lamb Ministries's Come to the Table podcast; Christian Living Magazine; The Epoch Times, and many more.  

"This is my 5th NRB conference, and I am so overwhelmed by what God shows me at each of these events," says DiChiara. "I have found that God always speaks to me, whether through the gracious and talented media folks I interview with, or the stranger I meet in the hallway who becomes a friend by the end of the week. All God connections." "And that's the thing," he continues. "God sometimes does His best work when we're going about our daily tasks. I am humbled by His grace towards me." On the heels of their latest release, Yahweh Nissi, DiChiara and Empowered, who have had seven No. 1 hits on the indie charts in the last several years, are teaming up again with Dove Award-winning and Billboard chart-topping singer/songwriter/producer Mikey Howard (7eventh Time Down) to produce their upcoming release, SALT.

The new project is due out in Spring 2025 from Slingshot Records. "Go Forth," the lead single from the new project, is based on Mathew 5:13, in which Jesus says to His disciples, "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot." SALT is a perfect album for these times.
