Is God Good?
“I left God because I decided God wasn’t good. I don’t believe God anymore.” My heart sank and compassion flooded my chest as I sat on this man’s couch, listening to words like this. Maybe, just maybe, he could believe again. Of course, I understood his feelings. His very own child died young in an unneeded way. How could this happen? Why would it happen? These are questions he wrestled with. That many wrestle with. I couldn’t blame him. In some ways I related to this man. After so many incidences of hardship, while I’d hardly say it, my feelings danced around the question, “God, can I really trust You…

The Chosen Remixed for the Rave
When you think “Christian music,” your brain probably drifts to the smooth, Sunday-morning sounds of Hope Darst, Phil Wickham, or maybe an acoustic guitar in a youth group circle. You probably don’t think: “I wish the score from The Chosen came with cryo blasts and a festival crowd.” Well, that’s exactly what makes Rave Jesus worth paying attention to.

Is Forrest Frank’s “Your Way’s Better” Song of the Year ?
When Forrest Frank wrote “Your Way’s Better,” he probably didn’t expect to see it blasted over stadium speakers while the Savannah Banana’s baseball team all danced in unison to it. But here we are. According to Billboard, Frank’s runaway hit has officially topped the Top Gabb Music Songs chart for three months in a row — the first song to do that since Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” pulled off the same feat. The chart, powered by Billboard and kid-and-teen-friendly Gabb Wireless, has become a fascinating window into what the next generation actually wants to stream — and right now, Forrest Frank is their guy. The song’s unstoppable streak isn’t just…

Fairly OddParents Creator Releases THE GREATEST THING EVER
If you spent any time glued to Nickelodeon in the 2000s, chances are you grew up with Butch Hartman. Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom — yeah, that was him. And if you’ve ever heard Butch talk about it, he’ll tell you with a grin that he “created your childhood.” He’s not wrong. But this summer, Butch is stepping into something even bigger: The Greatest Thing Ever. And no, that’s not just my opinion — it’s the actual name of his brand-new movie. When I caught up with my good friend Butch, he jumped on with his usual energy. “I really took a chance naming something The Greatest Thing Ever. In Hollywood, it’s like…
