The track appears on the band\u2019s album\u00a0<em>Hope<\/em>\u00a0and continues a remarkable resurgence that has already seen two previous singles from the project debut at #1 on the Christian Radio Chart.<br><br>Written by Bob Hartman and Jeff Hartman and produced by Petra, \u201cKiss The Coals\u201d delivers the unmistakable sound that made Petra one of the most influential bands in Christian music history. Driven by bold guitars and a message rooted deeply in Scripture, the song captures the spiritual refining process believers often experience through trials and surrender. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of faith forged in adversity, declaring, \u201cIn the heart of the fire, the flames refine the soul\u2026 every broken life, You make the pieces whole.\u201d The chorus reinforces that theme with a striking declaration of spiritual transformation: \u201cKiss the coals, embrace the flame, in Your fire, I\u2019m not the same.\u201d<br><br>The single follows an extraordinary radio run for Petra in 2026. Earlier releases from\u00a0<em>Hope<\/em>\u00a0have already topped the Christian Radio Chart. \u201cDeliver Us\u201d debuted at #1 on the CRC Weekly chart during the week of January 5, 2026 and finished as the #1 CRC Monthly song for January. That momentum continued when \u201cFilthy Lucre\u201d debuted at #1 during the week of February 16, 2026 before becoming the #1 CRC Monthly song for February.<br><br>Christian Radio Chart serves as the international standard for ranking independent Christian music. Unlike traditional radio charts that measure spins, CRC rankings are determined by radio outlet and streaming playlist adds, offering a unique snapshot of how songs are spreading across both broadcast and digital platforms.<br><br>\u201cKiss The Coals\u201d continues Petra\u2019s tradition of delivering music that blends hard-hitting rock with uncompromising biblical truth. Lines such as \u201cThrough the path of surrender, my pride is laid to rest\u2026 in the kiln of compassion, I am shaped a brand new way\u201d reflect the band\u2019s long-standing commitment to Scripture-centered songwriting that challenges listeners to grow deeper in their faith.<br><br>Petra, whose name means \u201cRock,\u201d helped pioneer Christian rock music more than five decades ago. The band originated in a Bible school in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, and from the beginning their ministry centered on Bible-based lyrics delivered through powerful rock music. In the early days they played parks, prisons, and coffeehouses throughout the Midwest until an opportunity to record an album with Myrrh Records changed everything. Myrrh, a division of Word Inc., had never encountered a band quite like Petra. Their sound began as southern rock and later evolved into a progressive rock style that set them apart from anything else happening in Christian music at the time.<br><br>The church world initially struggled to accept Petra\u2019s bold musical approach. The band was criticized from pulpits, blackballed by some Christian bookstores, and occasionally picketed at concerts. Yet audiences responded. Fans discovered the band\u2019s passion for Scripture and evangelism, and their following grew rapidly through the late 1970s and 1980s as record sales and concert attendance skyrocketed.<br><br>Over the course of more than fifty years, Petra released 20 studio albums along with two Spanish-language albums and two live recordings. The band has sold nearly ten million albums, earned 13 Grammy nominations with four wins, and received ten Dove Awards. Petra also made history as the first Christian rock band inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, the first Christian band to have memorabilia featured in the Hard Rock Cafe restaurant chain, and the first and only Christian band to perform at the 1992 Farm Aid concert.<br><br>The influence of Petra across the Christian music landscape remains profound. Former Gospel Music Association president Frank Breeden once described the band simply by saying, \u201cPetra was a true pioneer for our industry.\u201d Skillet frontman John L. Cooper has echoed that sentiment, noting that Petra helped shape both his faith and his music. \u201cThey were trailblazers, pioneers, missionaries, evangelists,\u201d Cooper said. \u201cRockers like me are standing on their shoulders.\u201d<br><br>John Elefante, formerly of Kansas, also reflected on the band\u2019s impact after working with them over the years, explaining that Petra\u2019s ministry always stood at the center of everything they did. Kevin Young of Disciple added that Petra\u2019s music became the soundtrack of his spiritual journey, helping shape him lyrically, musically, and spiritually.<br><br>Although Petra officially retired in 2005, the band reunited when members realized their 50th anniversary was approaching. Founding guitarist Bob Hartman and longtime vocalist John Schlitt decided the milestone deserved something special, which led to a 50th Anniversary World Tour. The response has exceeded expectations, with concerts across the United States as well as Norway, Germany, Mexico, Brazil, Canada, and other countries.<br><br>The current lineup featuring Bob Hartman, John Schlitt, John Lawry, Greg Bailey, and Cristian Borneo faithfully represents the band\u2019s historic sound while reaching a new generation of listeners. Concert crowds frequently include longtime fans alongside their children and even grandchildren, demonstrating the enduring impact of Petra\u2019s music.<br><br>With \u201cKiss The Coals,\u201d Petra once again reminds listeners that faith is not always forged in comfort but often in the refining fires of life. The song\u2019s closing declaration captures that message clearly: \u201cKiss the coals, embrace the flame\u2026 in Your love I am made whole.\u201d<br><br>\u201cKiss The Coals\u201d is promoted exclusively to Christian radio by Jeff McLaughlin through A-Sides Radio Promotion.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/ci3.googleusercontent.com\/meips\/ADKq_NYQ2hWOXeQB7MDmOL23eOPbu8SizdKYs6_USZu_j9AvvryF0f-Eepo5fX-BomgpbLO1ki4Af6MeTY6gNxgRiKC0Ejst3SHmTuL2FWe7__vv076IBqJ_1OS4YXR7Leq1y0Owa1kegAdkhLY6blk4h0bGy8AQfw=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/files.constantcontact.com\/a83d18cd901\/83f6b3f8-bb6d-4e9b-b610-fe86d4fe5bf5.png?rdr=true\" alt=\"\"><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Listen to&nbsp;Kiss The Coals:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/k7udiohbb.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001KPzkGuMRrTbGlPkZuYAYdr-w6wjnlpOYoBmCz1_qlEf0diVMGu3qu7G4WNAFuN4odeA8eqQyGA6ltJOgeYhJRvp46UdTS5DAgcLZFR7RXkEIc9RzTbNhClXDoY6bXmhzJoJyEojeWReaQl0GKpXDqehGNF1wgiZC&amp;c=Q8JZzhon19mxGyaF9Q5khgbxivl_aqA8lSvXtAhhZkNX-3fzlNqeDg==&amp;ch=JJJNvovxZjOgAs0dIt0700Rf8EXsURRD2r0aaK1YmqvVuo2yxSWKUw==\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/WTvpiczTrcU<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/k7udiohbb.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001KPzkGuMRrTbGlPkZuYAYdr-w6wjnlpOYoBmCz1_qlEf0diVMGu3qu7G4WNAFuN4o7hHgE-KFm1T-0Kmmgi27MkxWjEvBbnsj10X5LnAeLMhSxchB5nBsQ7xF-rYCx0-eY1lNMikpEHGWwU7nAuXobWRVLAzceNbmMPD-s9Yh4Z9wZZz4rtX79PvqUYTkqOPY&amp;c=Q8JZzhon19mxGyaF9Q5khgbxivl_aqA8lSvXtAhhZkNX-3fzlNqeDg==&amp;ch=JJJNvovxZjOgAs0dIt0700Rf8EXsURRD2r0aaK1YmqvVuo2yxSWKUw==\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/1uQIUt9jkTXxm4rilDkMas<\/a><br><strong>Listen to the entire album:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/k7udiohbb.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001KPzkGuMRrTbGlPkZuYAYdr-w6wjnlpOYoBmCz1_qlEf0diVMGu3qu3RQr5Kck2milD5U3pDRe_I1dzhsInrgAFau-LCgZ3ws8gRsjVNx5MtlcrIeO-shqN2EO9ZPn8TBdXFyOhVvYheBzEveamK4wZLzaO__EyMEE9SfPgpM9Wa2Y7PuKciTbKAO1rbAHBei&amp;c=Q8JZzhon19mxGyaF9Q5khgbxivl_aqA8lSvXtAhhZkNX-3fzlNqeDg==&amp;ch=JJJNvovxZjOgAs0dIt0700Rf8EXsURRD2r0aaK1YmqvVuo2yxSWKUw==\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/2onipAKxLVoLTQZW3mJ7iv<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/k7udiohbb.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001KPzkGuMRrTbGlPkZuYAYdr-w6wjnlpOYoBmCz1_qlEf0diVMGu3qu3RQr5Kck2miEyM0R1CEIJWgbZg9JMXwmyrCVZWUCp_H50vhtQCZab2vOg_56a8PosxfUdrgY6K7xAhIiwJkzkbhxPbPZJ2fHy5gdtH-Sz0COBYBXq7APEbXBmPjTHe1QvkoQyfDOrBO&amp;c=Q8JZzhon19mxGyaF9Q5khgbxivl_aqA8lSvXtAhhZkNX-3fzlNqeDg==&amp;ch=JJJNvovxZjOgAs0dIt0700Rf8EXsURRD2r0aaK1YmqvVuo2yxSWKUw==\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/album\/hope\/1859241110<\/a><br><strong>Purchase the album:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/k7udiohbb.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001KPzkGuMRrTbGlPkZuYAYdr-w6wjnlpOYoBmCz1_qlEf0diVMGu3qu0LW1Uy7EgBRm_ZNil3QsHjYRung7dwP7U25VUGIW5_ZBe1FTTCnKIfdiI06R_wS4AQZWp-Jg2LV3i_i6gTcbgZowCqLnFPGcqYGbaRRbtcUNJehNtht1SKpG5yv6VujVpIK7zN9HAyZz7D3IQLIArP6R25kCJT4CQ==&amp;c=Q8JZzhon19mxGyaF9Q5khgbxivl_aqA8lSvXtAhhZkNX-3fzlNqeDg==&amp;ch=JJJNvovxZjOgAs0dIt0700Rf8EXsURRD2r0aaK1YmqvVuo2yxSWKUw==\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/girdermusic.com\/products\/petra-hope-cd-2026-girder-records<\/a><br><strong>Connect with Petra:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/k7udiohbb.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001KPzkGuMRrTbGlPkZuYAYdr-w6wjnlpOYoBmCz1_qlEf0diVMGu3qu3RQr5Kck2miK7CNmOHL3A9NDNcA23qFwh02d8mKEI-Vl7mv2ev7TqdEpZPc_XoSyAaxczWbcLGU3nl0NfaJlQnp3hzY17TrVQ==&amp;c=Q8JZzhon19mxGyaF9Q5khgbxivl_aqA8lSvXtAhhZkNX-3fzlNqeDg==&amp;ch=JJJNvovxZjOgAs0dIt0700Rf8EXsURRD2r0aaK1YmqvVuo2yxSWKUw==\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/petraband.com\/<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/k7udiohbb.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001KPzkGuMRrTbGlPkZuYAYdr-w6wjnlpOYoBmCz1_qlEf0diVMGu3qu3RQr5Kck2miPoWmnlr2qxnu5-3PhqGP7j8KP3ibzn3hkVQeLF3UxlNU-I8m771sO6ESTlyipmzAVjTA2My3yFStxrZ6G-V3ibaWhIdhQQaIHxp7HJFigKk=&amp;c=Q8JZzhon19mxGyaF9Q5khgbxivl_aqA8lSvXtAhhZkNX-3fzlNqeDg==&amp;ch=JJJNvovxZjOgAs0dIt0700Rf8EXsURRD2r0aaK1YmqvVuo2yxSWKUw==\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Petraband<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PETRA RELEASES \u201cKISS THE COALS\u201d TO CHRISTIAN RADIOA Fiery Anthem of Faith, Refinement, and Enduring&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":17113,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[696],"class_list":["post-17511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-d70","tag-petra-d53"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
