Megan Woods & Katy Nichole: One Truth, Two Paths
Two of Christian music’s most talked-about young artists—Katy Nichole and Megan Woods—just dropped brand-new songs. Stylistically, they couldn’t be more different, but thematically, they’re surprisingly aligned. Both are 24 and riding the wave of breakout success, yet their latest releases reveal two unique artistic paths—one leaning into sweeping pop emotion, the other turning up the guitars. And both are courageously engaging with something Christian music has always wrestled with: doubt. Megan Woods Let’s start with Megan Woods.

With him goes the final chapter of the original Wilson brothers—Dennis, Carl, and now Brian—whose harmonies helped define a generation. Yet for many Christian artists and fans, the influence of Wilson’s music goes far beyond the surf and sand. The Beach Boys are often mentioned as one of the few “approved” secular bands allowed in strict Christian households. Their lyrics—rarely profane or political—offered a sun-soaked soundtrack that could safely ride alongside your road trip to Orlando listening to Z88.3 in the family…

“My Savior My God” Turns 20: The Worship Anthem That Started on a Napkin
“I never could have tried to get it to where it was… God took that song places that I couldn’t have imagined.” — Aaron Shust Twenty years ago, a young worship leader from Pennsylvania penned a melody on a church piano and scribbled lyrics on a yellow Wendy’s napkin. He had no record deal, no grand plan—just a red Sharpie, a Bible, and a lyric that wrecked him. That song was “My Savior My God,” and the artist was Aaron Shust. In the two decades since, Aaron has become a beloved figure in the world of worship music—known not just for his songs, but for his depth, humility, and unwavering heart for…
