Written by Thompson and produced by Ethan Radkte at Sandbox Audio, the song is a quiet yet powerful anthem for anyone carrying invisible burdens–especially women walking through faith and family struggles alone. The song was inspired by a simple moment seeing a mother arrive at church each week with her children, without her husband. “Though I never knew her story,” Bailey shares, “I couldn’t stop wondering about the unseen weight she carried. That moment became a mirror for the quiet battles so many face while still choosing faith.” Opening…

CCM Spotlight: Baylee Littrell
The first time I connected with Baylee Littrell, it was through a Zoom screen. He was in the studio recording a raw, trembling new song called “Hey Jesus,” and I caught him in that brief post–American Idol window where the lights had faded but the journey was only beginning. Months later, I saw him live in a Nashville club, leading a full band through a set that jumped from love songs to party anthems and even a soul-soaked cover of “Tennessee Whiskey.” At the merch table, fans weren’t just picking up T-shirts, they were greeted with prayer books, a detail that said as much about Baylee as the music itself.…

From childhood moments of ripping out Rebecca St. James posters and circling Steven Curtis Chapman photos, to debating whether they’d pick Audio Adrenaline over Jars of Clay (spoiler: Audio Adrenaline every time), the conversation was a mix of nostalgia and laughter. The Sekulows also shared their vision for CCM today—covering both legacy artists and new voices like Katy Nichole, Megan Woods, and Forrest Frank—while still diving into the archives that stretch back to 1978.
