Forrest Frank Delivers No L’s in Child of God II
If Forrest Frank’s Child of God was the breakthrough, Child of God II is the confirmation. With this deeply emotional, genre-blending follow-up, Forrest doesn’t just prove his staying power — he stakes his claim as both a champion and innovator of Christian music for a new generation. I don’t say that lightly. We grew up with giants. DC Talk, Audio Adrenaline, Newsboys — artists who weren’t afraid to be fun, bold, authentic, and unapologetically faith-driven. Our kids deserve their own version of that. And in Forrest Frank, they have found it. This sequel album leans into softer production, more gospel-pop, and emotional depth — but still delivers plenty of viral, high-energy joy. And while many of these tracks…

The Demon’s Words That Inspired Aaron Shust’s New Song
“Jesus brings what would be enemies together. And you’re not going to believe that… until you’re there.”— Aaron Shust I first met Aaron Shust nearly 20 years ago when his debut single “My Savior My God” was about to become a nationwide hit. I was a clean-shaven talk show host. Aaron was just as baby-faced—slinging a guitar and carrying a quiet fire for Scripture. Christian music pegged him to be our John Mayer. He was a bit of a CCM heartthrob with a heart of gold. Now, two decades later, we’re both bearded dads with a deep love for the land of Israel. And when we reconnected, it wasn’t just…

From the Opry to the Altar: The Rise of Christian-Country Crossover
For decades, Christian and country music have run on parallel tracks—each rooted in storytelling, faith, and heartland grit. But now, those tracks are merging in powerful new ways. A fresh wave of Christian artists is stepping confidently into country spaces—and the response has been impossible to ignore. Artists like Brandon Lake, Anne Wilson, and Zach Williams are leading the charge, delivering the gospel in stadiums, honky-tonks, and festivals once considered out of reach. With chart-topping collaborations, national tours, and unforgettable festival moments, the divide between the genres is transforming into a dynamic bridge. Brandon Lake Brandon Lake, known for worship anthems like “Gratitude,” made headlines this year with his genre-blending duet “Hard Fought Hallelujah”…
