Promotion
Reach Records held two listening sessions in New York City and Atlanta, with tickets on sale for September 23 and October 3 respectively. In late December 2014, producer Gawvi released two free remixes of songs from the album on SoundCloud: one of "Lazarus" and another of "Sweet Victory". Trip Lee announced the Rise Tour in January 2015, which he would embark on until August 2015 in support of the album. He also wrote a book titled Rise: Get Up and Live in God's Great Story to accompany the album, released on January 27, 2015.
Critical reception
In a four-star review for CCM Magazine, Andy Argyrakis noted that Trip Lee "comes out swinging for the fences" on the album. Michael Weaver of Jesus Freak Hideout also rated it four stars, calling it "musically more diverse than any of his previous works." Mark Ryan of New Release Tuesday gave the album four and a half stars, stating that "from top to bottom, each track keeps you on the edge of your seat." Anthony Peronto of Indie Vision Music awarded it five stars, remarking on Trip Lee's artistry and perseverance in every Gawvi-produced song.
