Stuck in Space? Astronaut Butch Wilmore Says It Was God’s Plan
The first time I saw Butch Wilmore, he didn’t see me. He was strapped into the Boeing Starliner and I was across the street. My son Ryker and I were on vacation in Orlando when he burst into our room early one morning with the kind of excitement only a kid can bring before most adults have even had coffee. “Dad, they’re about to launch.” Still half asleep, I did the math.

Across the street from the launch…

Alt-rock artist Collington returns with his latest single, “Waiting for Daylight (ARRÊT),” available now on all major streaming platforms.

Built on a pop-forward rock foundation with a reflective core, “Waiting for Daylight (ARRÊT)” lives in the in-between. It’s the honest space of wrestling through frustration while holding onto hope. With melodic energy reminiscent of Switchfoot, the song balances urgency and vulnerability without overcomplicating its message. “Darkness falls once again And I will try to pretend That it’s day out But I know I’m wrong.” From the opening…

CCM Magazine Madness: Decade of Dominance
March is here, which means one thing: brackets, debates, and “friendly” arguments. So, we figured… why not bring that same chaos to Christian music? Welcome to CCM Magazine Madness: Decade of Dominance. We’re putting the decades head-to-head to determine which era of Christian music truly ruled. From the pioneering sounds of the 60s and 70s, to the arena-sized energy of the 80s, the golden-age glory of the 90s, the youth-group takeover of the 2000s, the worship movement of the 2010s, and the still-unfolding story of the 2020s.
