Gratitude has become the foundation of Ty Herndon and Michael Passons’ journeys, as both artists continue transforming decades of faith, perseverance, and authenticity into music that inspires audiences across generations.

The Knockturnal joined Ty Herndon and Michael Passons during their Pride Month press day to celebrate their reimagined release of “Testify To Love,” featuring Melissa Greene and a vibrant remix by Grammy-winning producer Dave Audé. The beloved contemporary Christian anthem has found new life, introducing a timeless message of love, hope, and unity to both longtime fans and a new generation of listeners.

The collaboration has generated an overwhelmingly positive response, climbing to No. 1 on the iTunes Christian chart while sparking conversations surrounding faith, inclusion, and living authentically. Rather than allowing their personal journeys to define limitations, Herndon and Passons have embraced the opportunity to share a message rooted in compassion, acceptance, and resilience through music.

Celebrated throughout Pride Month and continuing to resonate well into the summer, “Testify to Love” reminds listeners that hope, healing, and unconditional love extend far beyond a single season. Their latest collaboration serves as a testament to the enduring power of music to unite communities and inspire meaningful dialogue across generations.

Sitting down with Ty Herndon and Michael Passons, you quickly sense that this moment represents a rebirth not only for “Testify to Love,” but for the countless lives their music has touched. Throughout the years, the pair have shared how fans continue reaching out through direct messages, letters, and conversations to express the impact their music has had during life’s most difficult moments. Growing up in church, I remember “testimony service,” when members of the congregation would stand and share the goodness of God, what they had overcome, or where they still needed prayer. Listening to Herndon and Passons speak, I couldn’t help but view “Testify to Love” through a broader lens. The song becomes more than a testimony tied to a particular religion or denomination it becomes an invitation to reflect on our own testimony about love: how we give it, how we receive it, and how it has the power to transform lives.

Listeners can stream “Testify to Love” on all major streaming platforms. and follow Ty Herndon and Michael Passons for the latest music releases, performances, and updates.
