Christian rock artist Mr. Weaverface is releasing his powerful new single “Writing on the Wall” today, delivering a bold and timely message rooted in Scripture and driven by hard-hitting rock energy. The release follows continued momentum at radio, where “O God, Help Me” and “Throne” were both named among Christian Music Weekly’s Top 100 Rock Songs of 2025, ranking at #22 and #56, respectively. Inspired by Daniel chapter 5, “Writing on the Wall” revisits the story of the king of Babylon, who mocked God and celebrated his own power–unaware that judgment was moments away. Mr. Weaverface translates that ancient moment into a modern warning, reminding listeners that indulgence and self-satisfaction…

Canadian worship collective HOMECOMING releases their new alternative worship anthem “UPSIDE DOWN” today, continuing a breakout season of momentum since joining NRT Music. The group has quickly proven to be an emerging young voice in modern worship, surpassing 600,000 total streams across Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music in under a year, as their songs connect deeply with young worshippers and church communities across Canada and beyond. “UPSIDE DOWN” captures the moment Jesus breaks through fear, anxiety, and the empty patterns that never satisfy. Written out of HOMECOMING’s own battles with doubt, the song reflects the shock of discovering real joy in Him. It stands as a reminder that Jesus…

Matthew West begins 2026 with the release of his new song, “Good,” a contemplative and lyrically grounded offering from “one of Christian music’s most prolific singer-songwriters” (Billboard). The track reflects West’s continued focus on songs that wrestle honestly with faith, humility and grace setting the tone for a year defined by creative clarity and spiritual depth. “I’m so excited to start this new year with a new song! ‘Good’ is about my lifelong journey to understand God’s grace,” shares West. “I spent a long time treating grace like a ladder I had to climb if I did enough good things, then I’d be worthy of God’s love. But He keeps…

Some things never change. One of them is the unmistakable rock vocal power of John Schlitt. At 75 years old, Schlitt is still bringing the heat, the grit, and yes, the high notes. This is not studio smoke and mirrors either. I’ve heard John live, both solo and with Petra in recent years, and it is genuinely remarkable. The voice is still there, the conviction is still there, and the fire has not dimmed. This week marked something many fans honestly never thought they would see, a brand-new studio album from one of the most iconic bands in Christian rock history, Petra. Hope arrives more than 20 years after the band’s last full-length studio…

Framed as both a creative statement and a cultural moment, the video reinforces the heart of the single while offering deeper context behind the message. Directed by Will Thomas, the video features clips from DJ Noble’s interview with Ryan Righteous of Trackstarz, woven seamlessly into…
