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. We want this one to help with the Generation Connection."
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.
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.
"It's About Legacy"
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 5-album (81 track) project is coming out just in time because families are struggling and processing through 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.
