Chris and Carol Green Release 5th Family Legacy Album, "This Time"

This Time - Click HERE

Pennsylvania, USA - As the fifth of five Family Legacy Albums, This Time is a 12-song collection of tunes that Chris and Carol Green wrote during those harsh seasons of heartbreak, disappointment and discouragement. 

"We all have these wilderness seasons," the Greens share, "And 2025 has been a particularly cruel year of loss, pain, grief and suffering. We pray that the message of hope that's embedded in these songs will make its way into our children, grand children, our families and beyond. We pray that these songs get to the right people (all across our country and the world) at just the right time in their lives."

This album features anthems and very old school genres, as well Chris and Carol's signature simple sing-along melodies and prophetic songs that speak to the issues of life, love, joy, sorrow, and our understanding of God in the midst of it all; which has been written and presented in the uniquely poetic artistry of this couple.

Grand Pa Chris and Grand Ma Carol recovered and reproduced many of their old songs through an A.I. music platform (which means they don't have to try to sing them anymore). With the upload of original recordings from many years ago, followed by detailed instructions with creative prompts, came these amazing results.

Their goal is to leave a legacy for their family and the generations to come, in the same way that King David left a blueprint and songs for the next generation who would later build the temple.

"It's About Legacy"

More than 20 years after stepping away from writing/ recording songs in order to focus on their ministry/ community work and book writing, Chris and Carol Green have resurfaced as A.I. (songwriters/ producers) artists with four Legacy Song Releases based upon their life in marriage, ministry, mentoring, and moving (by God's grace) through the messy parts of life.  ​

With the discovery that they could upload their original song recordings from over two decades ago, onto an A.I. (artificial intelligence) music platform and meticulously recreate them with powerful music and vocals, a whole new world was opened to them. Chris worked with this collaborative tool, providing detailed instructions and creative prompts, and it resulted in these amazing productions.

 "We had buried the songs in the past and moved on," explained Chris, "This new technology gave us the opportunity to finally reproduce the songs the way we originally heard them, but with a much more professional sound."​

However, and most importantly, Chris and Carol see this Legacy Song series as one way to pass their family's calling, purpose and mission on to their children and grandchildren. Their goal is to leave a legacy for their family and generations to come in the same way that King David left a blueprint and songs for the next generation that would later build the temple.​

"My mom passed away in September of 2024," Chris reveals, "Working on these old familiar songs helped me to process my grief. I cried and worshiped a lot because she left us a legacy to simply love God and be faithful to Him. Carol and I found a way to embrace and carry forth that legacy and our family's mandate to future generations."​

The Greens readily admit that their songs are "old school" and somewhat out dated, but the beauty of music is that, like fashions and fads, the old styles eventually come back around. This couple sees this as an opportunity to use their songs in a very strategic way.

"We didn't reengage these songs because of some misguided fantasy to have a music career," the Greens assert, "We're not trying to revive the old days because we can't let go of the past. Music, as a career, has never been a desire for us. We are simply parents and poets who've been blessed to set our poetry to music. Through this 'new wine skin' God is fulfilling our desire to pass it on to the next generation. They may not listen to it right now, but when the time comes, it will be here for them."

This entire 4-album (70 songs) project comes just in time because families are struggling and recovering from a disaster-filled year, and this is a wonderful source for inspiring worship, reflection and healing with Biblically-based words of encouragement, comfort and wisdom wrapped in songs.

Utilizing A.I. technology they were able to upload original recordings from many years ago, provide detailed instructions and creative prompts; and these are the amazing results.

Chris and Carol Green Release 4th Family Legacy Album

Zeal for Your House - Click HERE


Pennsylvania, USA - With their fourth release in 2025, called Zeal for Your House, Chris and Carol Green have almost completed their summer series of five legacy albums.

This collection features one high-energy song after another, especially chosen from their years as youth and young adult pastors at Metro Christian Worship Center in St. Louis, MO (Bishop Raphael and Pastor Brenda Green).

"We call it Boomer Praise!" Chris and Carol explain. ​"These are songs FROM our (boomer) generation, TO our generation, and FOR the generations that follow us." Grand Pa Chris and Grand Ma Carol learned, in the years when they were youth and young adult pastors, that they didn't have to imitate young people in order to connect with them. They could be their true authentic selves and the youth related to that. So, today it's not any different than back then. They bring that same authenticity with these songs to their children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and to future generations.

STEP Forward Life Institute Marks 4-Year Milestone

 


Pennsylvania, USA --- Today, on the 4th anniversary of the launch of the STEP Forward Life Institute, Chris and Carol Green announced a new emphasis and focus for their online LIFE-education platform.


"We wanted to do a better job of communicating the true purpose for this online teaching ministry," explains Chris and Carol Green. "So we have shifted from merely talking about WHAT we can offer, to pushing forth WHY and HOW a student will benefit from enrolling in a STEP Forward course."


The STEP Forward Life Institute introduced a new slogan and caption: 

Equipping Believers for Kingdom Servantship*


"We came to realize that our students simply desired to minister to their families, strengthen their faith, or serve in their communities," the Greens revealed. "It's not a popular message, but it is an absolute reality that everyone isn't assigned to corporate, organizational, institutional or ministry leadership roles; However everyone is called to servantshipSo we're going to be a lot more intentional about promoting our mission to equip and prepare them be Kingdom-minded Servants."


Servantship signifies the condition or state of being a servant, essentially meaning the act of serving others. It can also be used to refer to servanthood. In a leadership context, servantship emphasizes prioritizing the needs and well-being of others, often with humility and a focus on service over personal gain. 


*Kingdom servantship, in a Christian context, refers to the concept of embracing a life of service and humility within the Kingdom of God, mirroring the example of Jesus Christ. It's about prioritizing the needs of others, demonstrating humility, and allowing love to guide actions, reflecting the heart of Jesus. This principle emphasizes that true greatness in the Kingdom is found through serving others, not seeking to be served. 


"Our students don't merely watch video lectures, memorize information, and pass quizzes and examinations," the Greens added, "Now we are boldly encouraging them to embody the Greatest Commandment and we're equipping them to fulfill the Great Commission. They will be able to minister with confidence knowing God is their source, that experience is their study, that faith is their evidence, and Service is their credential."

 

The STEP Forward Life Institute had already been in the works for 16 years before the Greens officially launched it in April of 2021. They had amassed over 1500 video recordings, established a sizeable video archive/ library, built a YouTube channel, created over 20 Vimeo channels, and written several books. This couple has been in the trenches, teaching and preparing Believers for ministry service, for over 20 years in south central Pennsylvania, across the United States, and around the world.


"We believe we were being prepared all along to provide this tangible and digital way to strengthen, equip and empower God's people to do effective works of service in their families and communities," Chris and Carol Green concluded, "We believe this is our true role and calling."



Editor's Notes about the STEP Forward Life Institute:

  • currently has 24 students enrolled in 57 assigned courses
  • has certified and graduated 113 Life Coaches and 1 Master Life Coach across 12 states
  • has a 96.2% engagement rate (register in STEP Forward and then enroll in classes)

CARE-Ready Coaches Certified in USA Communities Across 12 States

Upon the completion of the Online CARE-Ready Life Coach Certification program, Ohio resident Dovonna Smith, became the 113th recipient of a life coach certification from the STEP Forward Life Institute.

“We now have people in 12 states who have been trained in our CARE-Ready model of coaching,” commented the program's creators and facilitators, Chris and Carol Green.


As the newest CARE-Ready coach, Dovonna worked through several personal challenges and obstacles to complete the course. At the beginning of her year-long journey she said, “I wanted to become a life coach as a way to be able to support others that have experienced life and felt sometimes as if there was no hope, and that all the things that they went through did not serve a purpose.”


She is the Green’s first online graduate since transitioning their program to its current format that offers students the opportunity to receive 1:1 personal coaching, tutoring and mentoring from the Greens as they are working through the courses.


Upon graduating Dovonna said, “I really honestly think that through the program I was able to discover the reason I was led to do so. At first  I was not clear on the specific area in which I would be a coach. Now through this training and prayer, I have discovered the reason why.”


CARE-Ready Life Coaches and CARE-Ready Responders are now disbursed and embedded in 40+ organizations, businesses, agencies or ministries across 12 states including: Alabama, California, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.
