Hot Hearts has always combined the messages of the most effective youth communicators and the very best in contemporary Christian music with state of the art video and light shows for a high energy weekend.
Toby Mac’s 2007 Portable Sounds debuted at #10 on the Billboard 200 and at #1 on the SoundScan Contemporary Christian Overall Chart, receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album.
