New Years Eve on CBS is about to get “CeCe’d”!
At the Dove Awards earlier this year, Tauren Wells joked about songs and moments that have been “CeCe’d,” that rare transformation where something good becomes timeless once CeCe Winans touches it. Well Tauren, it might be time to update the definition. Because New Year’s Eve on CBS is about to get officially CeCe’d. On Wednesday, December 31, CeCe Winans will take the stage for CBS’ New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash, broadcasting live from Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park in Nashville, Tennessee. Hosted by country hitmaker HARDY and comedian Bert Kreischer, the national broadcast features an all-star lineup that reads like a modern country hall of fame, Keith Urban, Dierks…

Hey Millennials.

Yes, A Pastor is Opening for LA Guns at the Whisky on NYE
Christian rock can sometimes feel like playing a game of Mad Libs… Switchfoot announces a tour alongside Lit and Fuel. Just a year ago it would’ve felt strange to hear Brandon Lake releases new single with Jelly Roll. However, faith-adjacent artists stepping onto stages that once felt off-limits is what makes our unique form of entertainment so special. If we are to be the light in the darkness, you have to take some big swings. And now, in a move that feels ripped straight out of a Hollywood screenplay, former Jewish street racer turned Christian pastor Aaron Schwartzbart is opening for L.A. Guns at the legendary Whisky-A-Go-Go on New Year’s…

As we celebrate the advent of the Christ… The post Motherhood and Christmas appeared first on Redeemed Reader.

BODIE LAUNCHES CHRISTIAN ALT-ROCK FESTIVAL… and we’re here for it!
Nearly a year ago, when we first took over CCM Magazine, I started talking out loud about the future of Christian music, the one I could see forming just over the horizon. I said it plainly. Mark my words. In a year, we’re going to be talking about guitar-driven rock bands again. A lot of people laughed. Some rolled their eyes when I suggested that the GMA should establish a rock commission. The response was simple. Show us the evidence. I’m looking at you, Justin Fratt… here it is. Not only is this a fresh-faced group of artists, it’s being ushered in by one of the most genre-bending, creative, and…
