Life.Church Worship Drops New Spanish Single
When daily worries threaten to overshadow our blessings, sometimes we need a reminder to pause and give thanks. Life.Church Worship delivers exactly that with “Tanto,” the Spanish-language version of their worship anthem “So Much,” now available with a lyric video on YouTube.

It Takes Courage to be How God Made You
It takes courage to be you. It takes courage to be strong when God and HIs Word lead you… When no one understands. When people misinterpret your actions. When God impresses something on your heart. When you let down your guard. It takes courage. To be fully an extrovert. To be entirely an introvert. To take the time to indulge in a hobby. To speak up. To stay quiet. It takes courage. To see the things others cannot. To see what others can see. To encourage others even to the point of seeming like you care too much. To stand strong in God’s calling even if it seems like you…

Katy Nichole: Cover Story (November 2025)
An Honest Conversation with Katy Nichole Photo by: Alicia St Gelais – For CCM Magazine When Katy Nichole walks into a room she is going to give you an experience. I’d seen Katy perform before so I knew she was going to do an incredible job. She has a powerhouse strength in her vocals that feel effortless and second nature. However, it wasn’t until we sat across from each other in the CCM studio, that I understood how impossible it was going to be to describe her on paper. Bright, bubbly, brooding, intellectual, self-reflecting, expressive… I’m not sure the English language has enough adjectives to cover the situation. I’ve been blessed…

Jon Reddick’s Hidden Talent is Hiding in Plain Sight

Here are some examples: Before his songs reached millions, Reddick was already painting—creating oil-on-canvas works inspired, as he says, “by the music that moves him.” His website showcases everything from richly textured abstracts to pop-culture portraits, including Spider-Man and a Tom Petty piece he created for his friend Mac Powell from Third Day. Reddick’s bio describes his visual art as “multilayered both literally, with a variety of textures, colors and shapes, as well as metaphorically.” The connection between his two creative outlets—music and painting—is inseparable.…
