Remembering Carman on His 70th Birthday
WHO’S IN THE HOUSE? If you know how to answer that question, you were there. You were part of the millions who experienced the wonderful, ridiculous, thrilling, and sometimes straight-up nightmare-fuel spectacle that was Carman. If you don’t know about Carman, go lose a few hours on YouTube. You will not come back the same. In 2021, the Christian music world lost one of its true originals just weeks after his 65th birthday. Carman was one of the rare artists in any genre who felt impossible to replace because he was never trying to sound like anyone else. Today is not about mourning him. It’s about celebrating what would have been…

Trip Lee Announces Upcoming Worship EP
Reach Records artist, pastor, author, and Christian hip-hop pioneer Trip Lee is entering a new creative season with the launch of BRAG Worship, a worship collective born from his long-standing BRAG movement, alongside the announcement of his first-ever worship EP, For Your Glory, arriving February 13. BRAG Worship is the newest expansion of BRAG, a vision that has shaped Trip Lee’s life and ministry for more than a decade.

BRAG has been a recurring…

The Slower I Go Invites the Holy Spirit to Move with New Single
The Slower I Go has released their new worship single, “THE ROOM,” offering a heartfelt invitation for listeners to come before God honestly and expectantly. Written by Noah Priebe, Brooklyn Summer, and Ethan Daniels, and produced by Canyon Lewis, the song captures a moment of surrender–meeting God in weakness while asking the Holy Spirit to fill every space with His transforming presence. “THE ROOM” is a worship cry to come before God as we are–broken, afraid, and longing for grace–while inviting the Holy Spirit to move freely. The song calls for boldness, obedience, and revival, asking God to restore what has been lost, bring peace into chaos, and move with…

Nelson at the Helm Releases New Single
Nelson at the Helm has released their new single, “Belief.” The indie pop/alternative track finds the husband-and-wife duo leaning fully into honest faith, echoing the prayer of Mark 924–“I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” With tender verses and a raw, soaring chorus, “Belief” captures the tension between certainty and doubt, offering hope in the quiet promise that night always gives way to dawn. Written during a season of longing for clarity, “Belief” reflects a God who welcomes honesty rather than perfection. The song’s imagery and lyrics wrestle openly with questions many believers carry—how to trust when the harvest hasn’t come, how to believe when faith feels fragile–while anchoring…

Bailey Thompson Releases New Pop Single
Bailey Thompson releases her new single, “Be Careful What You Ask For,” a pop-forward, feel-good track with a funky, instantly memorable chorus that delivers a meaningful message with energy and charm. While the song is light and catchy on the surface, its heart runs deep–exploring the reality that God sometimes answers prayers with a “yes” not to reward us, but to teach us, guiding us toward what we truly need. Inspired by a moment of hard-earned wisdom shared during a conversation between a mother and her teenage daughter, the song grew out of Bailey’s own recognition of how often God has allowed her to chase what looked right, only to…

A Miracle Happened
This past Sunday was a normal trip home from a soccer event, but I never expected tragedy to hit. Pulling into our driveway, there is a little hill that leads down to our garage. This day, we pulled into the driveway, joyous. Why? Because right before hitting our driveway, we were talking about God’s love. I shared how I recently heard data from a neurologist who said that spending 15 minutes a day thinking about God’s love for us, changes our brain. My whole family liked that idea. My son, since this conversation, has even put that into practice and noted how he felt God’s presence. So, we…
