The label G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) gets thrown around a lot these days, usually pinned to whoever’s trending or collecting the most streams that week.

He walks humbly into our studio for the first time since Amanda and I took over the reins of a magazine he’s practically synonymous with. There’s no weirdness, no distance.

Sounds like Teen Spirit: Brandon Lake & Phil Wickham’s Summer Worship Nights Review
Hi, I’m Macy — I’m 13 years old and live in Nashville, Tennessee. Worship music is a big part of my life, and Wednesday nights at youth group are some of my favorite times because of the music. When our worship leaders sing songs by Brandon Lake or Phil Wickham, it instantly takes you to another level of worship. The melodies and lyrics they’ve written make you want to lift your hands, jump up and down, and worship the Lord with all your heart. So, when my mom told me that Summer Worship Nights was coming to Bridgestone Arena on July 20, I knew we had to go. Let me just say: Brandon…

Gain Right Perspective
I was driving, but I couldn’t see. My glasses were smudged. Gray smudges blurred the lenses through which I saw life. I tried redirecting my eyes—look toward the yellow and white lines. Still, I kept going back to the splotch. When vision is blocked, moving forward is hard. A blind person can’t easily move ahead. Think about times you’ve encountered these situations: Snow on your windshield… Rain pouring down… A fogged-up front window… How can you go when you can’t see? You know, spiritual blindness is much like natural blindness. We get so caught up in something that we can’t see God in anything. Offense smudges our perspective of love.…

Exclusive Interview: Michael W. Smith Reimagines His Place in the Music World
“I’m writing it for me,” Michael said without hesitation when I asked who he’s composing for these days. “I’ve never tried to write a song for Christian radio or pop radio in my whole life.” If you’re waiting for a new song so you can take a restroom and refill run during the 2025 Michael W. Smith tour, then you’ve picked the wrong show. That is, at least according to the man himself: “I’m not going to play it safe.” With the 2025 releases of Your Love Is a Flood and Arms Around the Sun, he’s crafting layer upon layer in the studio that feels more in line with becoming…
