The Grammys, or as we call them, the mainstream Dove Awards, were held over the weekend, and the Recording Academy once again crowned new favorites in Christian and Gospel music. In a year marked by Forrest Frank, one of the leading contenders, deciding to skip both the Doves and the Grammys, it felt like more attention was brought to these categories than ever before. Regardless of who won, the breakout star in the name of Jesus was undoubtedly Jelly Roll, who took a night filled with politically charged speeches and turned everyone’s eyes toward Christ. “I know they’re going to try to kick me off here, so just let me…

My gums were swollen and I’d tried everything… I oil rinsed my mouth. No dice. I headed to a specialist’s office to get a re-treatment for an old root canal. It didn’t work. I got a crown. Still, my gums were swollen. Tender. Throbbing. Trying to ignore this situation, I sat down with God. A time of inspired bible reading would bless me, I was sure of it, but even still, my mind trailed off… I can’t fix this issue. What do I do? I have a problem that God doesn’t seem to be fixing. Before long, my fingers dug out my phone from under my journals and my thumbs…

SAPHIRE has returned with her sincere new single “Circles,” out now, through NRT Music. Written by SAPHIRE alongside Tyler Moody, Phoebe Scott, Katy Renolds, and Temitope, and produced and arranged by Tyler Moody, “Circles” captures the emotional push and pull of following God through seasons of uncertainty.

Christian hip-hop artist TRU-SERVA returns with a bold and uplifting new single, “Battleground,” a song that confronts the daily spiritual and mental conflicts many believers face while offering a message of perseverance, preparation, and faith-centered victory.

Rather than focusing on defeat, the track emphasizes awareness and intentionality, encouraging listeners to recognize the unseen battles they face and respond with confidence rooted in God. Inspired by the biblical call to put on the full armor of God, “Battleground” frames spiritual warfare as a lived, everyday experience. TRU-SERVA challenges listeners to…

Proclaiming a fierce determination to move forward amid uncertainty, “Flame” takes a personal turn for the duo. “We wrote ‘Flame’ during a season when it felt like the enemy was working overtime to keep us down,” explains Max Allard. “It’s a reminder to us, and to you, that what God starts can’t be stopped.” “‘Flame’ is our…

The first was a…

It’s been a long time since we’ve heard the original voice of the Newsboys, and honestly, I thought we never would. After leaving the band following a spiral of bad decisions, the Newsboys kept moving forward. New eras came, and their story continues to be written. But for those of us who remember those first tours, it’s still that guy with the shaved head in the shiny suit who comes to mind first, and it may not be the one you’re thinking of. Before Peter Furler ever stepped out from behind the drum kit, a different voice was already stepping up to the microphone. He was a loud, brash, thick-accented…
