DiChiara co-wrote the song, as well as the current single, &#8220;Jesus Can Heal the World,&#8221; with the project&#8217;s producer, Dove Award-nominated recording artist Mikey Howard (Love Journey Music, 7eventh Time Down). In addition to&nbsp;Yahweh Nissi,&nbsp;Howard also produced the band&#8217;s&nbsp;Three Days&nbsp;EP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along the way, DiChiara has appeared on multiple national media outlets, including CBN\u2019s flagship show,&nbsp;The 700 Club; Cornerstone Television Network\u2019s flagship show,&nbsp;Hope Today;&nbsp;The Christian Post&#8217;s&nbsp;online lifestyle magazine,&nbsp;Crossmap.com;&nbsp;Inspiration.org;&nbsp;Bill Martinez Live!; NRBTV and WATC-TV 57 in Atlanta\u2019s award-winning TV show,&nbsp;Babbie\u2019s House;&nbsp;LIFE Today Live&nbsp;with Randy Robison; World Christian Broadcasting; MRG Media;&nbsp;The Meeting House&nbsp;on Faith Radio; popular Baton Rouge, Louisiana, lifestyle publication,&nbsp;225 Magazine, and many more.\ufeff<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ufeffIn addition to his music, DiChiara has a powerful testimony of God&#8217;s mercy and healing that he loves to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In October 2015, a serious brain injury nearly took his life and his capacity to create music. DiChiara astonished doctors with a nearly full recovery, and the healing process turned into a creative season, during which the band&#8217;s chart-topping EP,&nbsp;Three Days, was written. And now, with Empowered&#8217;s latest EP,&nbsp;Yahweh Nissi,&nbsp;DiChiara continues to proclaim his journey from lost to found, aimless to empowered, unapologetically bold in his faith and the message of Jesus&#8217; saving grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGod spoke to me that He is looking for His people to not only claim Him, but to rise up with their voices to bring people back to Jesus,\u201d says DiChiara. \u201cI am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16). This is the heart behind the title track, \u2018Yahweh Nissi,\u2019 which is a war cry for Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DiChiara and Empowered are honored to contribute to the work of the non-profit organization, Children&#8217;s Cup&nbsp;(<a href=\"https:\/\/eqsibacab.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001ocrEOwX0WLnowNHat98c7sbXGI6GLVIC0GmIExCQ_RBdCo0Yxk7T-UBANmfN1aVMOFRqZMS2DpR8qshvD7cfx2SuyogBa5BF2XeIutZWsNIk04kOSj11X3iZXODgdBjCoUc2Eq0cVKam98YKWBIefFwZHOtm3pFE&amp;c=zZawrKCrGEbF5ZreDRBr6Adb6M0l1ol-LDbNz00CPiVAaf3tRqwFCw==&amp;ch=VTfH-b15rMT78TqfQHEfW-gk_vpdSgHo2cHP9fRMthGgOTA8m8FN1A==\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">childrenscup.org<\/a>),&nbsp;which works in regions where AIDS is rampant, poverty is crushing, and the ranks of orphaned and vulnerable children continue to swell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DiChiara lives in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with his wife Donna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BENNY DiCHIARA &amp; HIS CHART-TOPPING INDIE CHRISTIAN ROCK BAND, EMPOWERED, TO TAKE THE STAGE AT&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":14028,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[2950],"class_list":["post-14795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-d70","tag-empowered"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
