Whittington,\u00a0the owner and founder of\u00a0Houston-based Whittington Steel,\u00a0also brought in award-winning mastering engineer Bob Boyd (CeCe Winans\u2019 Grammy Award-winning album,\u00a0Believe For It<\/em>) to remaster all of the songs featured on the original\u00a0Bright Portal<\/em>\u00a0project, as well as a new bonus track,\u00a0“God Will Supply All Our Needs.”<\/strong>

Boyd, a 3-time Grammy, Dove, and Juno Award winner, has created a sonic upgrade that truly shines. Technology changes everything!

Bright Portal 2025 Remastered Version\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>comes on the heels of Whittington’s 2024 CD release,\u00a0Realitorium<\/em>\u00a0(featuring guitar great, multiple Grammy\u00a0nominee, and 7-time Dove Award winner Phil Keaggy), and the 2024\u00a0Downe In Yon Forest\u00a0<\/em>medieval music concert, where he traded lead vocals with Kemper Crabb as he did in the original PBS broadcast (which had 200 million views, according to Nielsen).

The singles from Whittington’s recent\u00a0Realitorium<\/em>\u00a0project have been consistently landing at Number 1 and Number 2 on\u00a0Play MPE\u2019s\u00a0<\/strong>DJ streaming charts in the UK, South Africa, and Norway\u00a0during recent months. Now, the trend is continuing.

“Chris has always been an admirer of illustrated covers that celebrate the vibrant storytelling style of the classic rock years,” says\u00a0Tankersley.\u00a0“With this 10th anniversary edition, the original illustrated resurrection scene, created for the first release, was reinvented.\u00a0The work was complimented with new vividly colored imagery to increase the spiritual impact of our rebirth and the heavenly pathway ahead.”

“As Christ followers, we all have on the horizon rising to meet our Lord someday,” says Whittington. “We shall leave this world behind and enter that bright portal into His holy presence. Let that encourage your heart and help purify your focuses while we wait for that day.”
“My life has been a twisting path filled\u00a0with surprises, but music has remained a constant,” says Whittington.\u00a0“Bright Portal 2025 Remastered Version<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/em>the newly re-imagined 10th anniversary edition of my debut album, is a collection of all of\u00a0my musical influences so far in my life,\u00a0including David Bowie, Kemper Crabb, Led Zeppelin, and Caedmon’s Call.”<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The songs on\u00a0Bright Portal 2025 Remastered Version<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0include the original cuts from\u00a0Bright Portal<\/em>: “Sing with All the Saints in Glory” (the first single on the new project), “Love Is Come” (the second single on the new project), “Coram Deo,” “Love Again,” and “Fill the Temple,” as well as the bonus cut,\u00a0“God Will Supply All Our Needs”<\/strong>\u00a0(the third single on the new project).

“God Will Supply All Our Needs”<\/strong>\u00a0taps into Whittington’s rock roots and displays the signature guitar and unique instrumentation that his listeners have come to expect.

It features a Beatlesque vocal blend and an infectious melody that listeners will carry with them from the first chord.

Whittington wrote the song during the 2008 financial crisis. It is based on Luke 12:27-31, where Jesus compares how His Father God cares for the beautiful lilies of the field to how He desires to care for all of His children.

“God Will Supply All Our Needs”<\/strong>\u00a0was heavily influenced by the poverty that Whittington, his mother, and his five siblings experienced growing up in the 70s in Houston, Texas, after his business executive father abandoned the family.

\u201cI learned first-hand that no matter how bleak things looked, I could truly trust God to supply all my needs,” says Whittington. \u201cAs difficult as it was to live through, it taught me not to be afraid\u2014God would always take care of me and my loved ones. And I have been able to share that message with others in full confidence.\u201d

The story behind the song, “God Will Supply All Our Needs,”<\/strong>\u00a0not only taught Whittington to trust God and not be afraid; it\u00a0influenced\u00a0him to pursue his dual vocation of music ministry and business.
“Dealing with poverty in my childhood, though very difficult, had several positive effects on my life,” Whittington remembers. “It led me to put my trust in Christ at an early age, and He proved that He could take care of me better than any earthly father could. It also taught me to work with excellence and diligence as unto the Lord in everything I did out of gratitude to Him.”

“It is my hope that\u00a0Bright Portal 2025 Remastered Version\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>and my current single,\u00a0<\/em>‘God Will Supply All Our Needs,’\u00a0<\/strong>will help someone feel comforted that God will take care of them in every situation and they do not need to fear,” says Whittington.

Singer\/songwriter, worship leader, and steel industry executive Chris\u00a0Whittington was recently interviewed on Biz TV’s\u00a0Behind the Brand<\/em>\u00a0about how he balances his dual vocations of music ministry and business. During the interview, he offered some advice to others who feel called to a similar path.

“I believe that the success of my company has been tied to my faith in Jesus Christ,” says Whittington, the founder and owner of Houston-based Whittington Steel. “My business success springs out of the same principles I follow as a worship leader and a church leader,” he explains.
“One of the Bible verses I try to live by is Psalm 112:5\u2014It is well with the man who\u00a0deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice,” he says. “Another primary verse for me is Matthew\u00a06:33\u2014But\u00a0seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
“I believe the Lord has led me to\u00a0focus on a family-like, mentoring community in our company, and we have seen many benefits in our workplace and in our employees’ lives,” comments Whittington.
“God made man to care for His creation, and He did so within His institution of the family,” he continues. “In making Adam and Eve and blessing them with children which came from them, He created the family to share the responsibility of caring for His creation. Even as, in the family, it works best when the family members care for and aid one another in their individual tasks, the same is so in every organization, businesses included. In our business, as we help our employees to buy homes and cars, and encourage them with Bible-based relationship advice, we are privileged to watch them grow into hard working, caring individuals who go on to encourage others in their own families and communities.”

Whittington also\u00a0shared some lessons that he has learned about how to bring diverse people together for a common good in the workforce.\u00a0

“We\u2019ve learned that, although each person’s situation can vary, at the core of it all, everyone has a desire to be part of something that\u2019s larger than just themselves,” he explains. “We choose every day to prefer one another in love toward the end goal of making money to support ourselves and our families.”
