A megachurch in downtown Los Angeles is embracing technology at an unprecedented rate–effectively bypassing the long-standing debate over whether modern production enhances or distracts from the Sunday morning message. According to leadership, the answer is simple “No.” Modeled loosely after the Sphere in Las Vegas, Grace Church is planning to complete a full-scale transformation of its campus next month, replacing every interior and exterior wall with ultra high-resolution LED panels capable of displaying dynamic visuals, sermon notes, worship lyrics, and–during the week–paid advertising. Church officials confirmed the $20 million installation was funded entirely by outside investors, who will be granted screen access from 24/7 Monday through Saturday. Sundays will remain…

Spotify has officially rolled out a new feature designed specifically for worship music fans Skip to Bridge. The update allows listeners to bypass verses and choruses entirely, jumping directly to what many consider the emotional and musical peak of the song. For years, the worship bridge has been the moment. Verse 1–typically delivered two octaves below the average human vocal range–serves as a slow build. The first chorus introduces the theme with what one listener described as “the energy of Sunday morning at a nursing home.” Verse 2 raises the stakes slightly, though industry experts confirm it remains “largely transitional.” Then comes the second chorus–bigger, louder, slightly higher. But the…

Forrest Frank has once again entered the record books–though not in the way fans might expect. The chart-topping artist has been awarded a Guinness World Records title for the longest stretch of time without releasing a new Forrest Frank song, ending a historic 14-week gap between releases. The previous record–also held by Frank–stood at just one week. The milestone follows the recent release of “SOS,” a new collaboration tied to his newly announced group, DAWN PATROL, marking his first appearance on a track since December 19, 2025. “We know how difficult it is for Forrest to go even a single week without releasing music,” a Guinness representative said in a…

With seven No. 1 radio hits, a GRAMMY® nomination, and a Dove Award, acclaimed singer-songwriter Ryan Stevenson has released his deeply personal new single, “This I Know.” The song was co-written by Stevenson, Brian Fowler, and Micah Kuiper, with production by Fowler & Kuiper for Man Cub. Listen to “This I Know” now. Inspired by Psalm 46, “God is our refuge and strength; a very present help in times of trouble,” the song explores the tension of trusting in God’s goodness while navigating a world that often feels uncertain and unfair. Rather than rushing past hard questions, “This I Know” sits in the discomfort and chooses trust anyway. At its…

Worship artist, speaker and ministry visionary Brent Taylor is launching The Great Commission Tour this month, a worship-driven, community-focused experience designed to gather churches and cities around one mission lifting up Jesus and mobilizing believers to live out the Great Commission. In conjunction with the tour launch, Taylor is officially servicing his modern worship anthem, “The Great Commission,” to Christian radio. Rooted in Matthew 2818–20, “The Great Commission” is a congregational declaration centered on the authority and calling of every believer to make disciples of all nations. The track blends modern worship intensity with an anthemic chorus, urging listeners to move beyond inspiration into obedience and action. “The Great Commission…

Award-winning Residence Music singer/songwriter Justin Gambino returns with “Let Me Not Forget,” a moving contemplation of Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice on the cross. Now available on streaming platforms, the reflective piano/strings ballad was produced by Walter Halliwell and penned by Gambino, Halliwell and Tony Wood. Arriving on the cusp of Holy Week, “Let Me Not Forget” bears the hallmarks of a timeless hymn–an immediately resonant melody that elevates impassioned, Truth-filled lyrics “Let me not forget that day so dark/Let me not forget Your open arms/Should I not remember how Love would reach so far/Let me not forget Your scars.” “The song was written and a demo was recorded in less than…

Rooted in Christian Contemporary and singer-songwriter traditions, the track continues unveiling the cinematic and spiritually resonant themes that define the upcoming project. Written by Scott C. Riggan and Benjamin D. Bauman, and produced by Jason Collum and Scott Riggan, “This Is Who I Am” delivers an unflinching meditation on identity, vulnerability, and grace. The track takes an honest look at what it truly means to be fully seen and fully loved. While culture often suggests that love is blind–ignoring flaws or overlooking failures–this song…

Sitting in my driveway, I wondered, could I hide out in the car just a little longer…? I didn’t really know… But what I did know was that the consistency of the raindrops was soothing. And the lines running down the window were — intriguing. I just wanted sit there — and watch — raindrops. At least they couldn’t hurt me. At least they were predictable. At least the car was a haven of sorts from the torrents of life about to hit — the downpour. I exhaled. Soon, and alone, I knew I would have to brave the cold, the wetness, the elements, the problems, the future, the unknown,…
