One of contemporary Christian music's most beloved songs is set to receive a fresh new treatment this week as Ty Herndon and Michael Passons prepare to release a Dave Audé remix of "Testify to Love."
Herndon announced the upcoming release on social media, telling fans that "The Love & Healing continues" and encouraging listeners to pre-save the remix ahead of its Friday release. The Grammy-winning producer and remixer Dave Audé is expected to transform the inspirational anthem into a dancefloor-ready track while preserving the song's enduring message of love and hope.
Originally recorded by Christian group Avalon in 1998, "Testify to Love" quickly became one of the defining songs of the late 1990s contemporary Christian music era. Written by Billy Sprague and Keith Thomas, the song spent multiple weeks at No. 1 on Christian radio charts and became Avalon's signature hit. Its soaring chorus and message of demonstrating faith through love resonated deeply with Christian audiences, helping establish the group as one of the leading acts in CCM.
The song's popularity extended beyond Christian radio. "Testify to Love" was prominently featured in television appearances and church worship settings across North America, becoming one of the most recognizable Christian songs of its generation. More than two decades after its release, it remains a staple on Christian inspirational playlists and continues to be embraced by listeners who grew up with the song.
In recent years, the song has found new life through reinterpretations and renewed cultural conversations. Earlier this year, country artist Ty Herndon and former Avalon member Michael Passons released a reimagined version of the track, drawing attention for both its musical update and its message of inclusion, healing, and faith.
The upcoming Dave Audé remix represents another chapter in the song's remarkable journey. Known for his work with artists across pop, dance, and electronic music, Audé has built a reputation for bringing classic songs to new audiences while retaining their emotional core.
For a song that dominated Christian radio in the late 1990s and became one of CCM's most enduring anthems, the remix demonstrates the continued relevance of "Testify to Love" nearly three decades after its original release. As Christian music increasingly intersects with pop and dance genres, the new version aims to introduce the timeless message of the song to a new generation of listeners while celebrating its rich legacy on the Christian charts.
The Dave Audé remix of "Testify to Love" will be available on streaming platforms this Friday.
