Written by: Celita Diaz-Perillo (Date written: 07/16/2024) I am so pleased to announce that contemporary Christian music artist Leanna Crawford has a new album, Still Waters, releasing today – July 19th.

I sincerely hope you will agree. Here are some of the songs that particularly snagged my attention. STILL WATERS feels like breathing life into a deflated heart and soul. It’s a time to refocus, to go back to basics and rest ..read more

There is more sunshine, and much cleaning up to do after the storms and dreariness of the colder weather; and, of course, there is the evidence of life everywhere. The birds start to sing, the plants blossom and bloom, and all of creation feels and sees the difference in the temperature, the climate, and in colors abounding everywhere. This new southern gospel album by Joseph Habedank, autobiography, feels like springtime. Like the deep sigh of reli ..read more

Written by: Laura Chambers (5/6/2024) Nobody who lived through the COVID-19 pandemic escaped without being affected. Even if you may have not become ill yourself or lost a loved one to the disease, it still leaves us with questions, as most major events do – war, romance, career changes, accidents; all can cause us to question our faith, especially when it seems like God is silent. The sudden paralysis of disruption can be jarring. Sarah Kroger’s experience echoes that of many; yet, despite her struggles with the big questions of life, she began to see the disguised blessings inherent in an ..read more

Written by: Darcy Webber (5/13/2024) Jeremy Camp – multiple award-winner and prolific songwriter – released his new album, Deeper Waters, this month. More important than his earthly rewards, Camp continues to utilize his God-given gifts and creative talents to spread the message of hope and the Gospel through his 14th album. Swiftly changing and morphing music styles means most secular or Christian artists can’t stay relevant and popular over several decades and dozens of albums. Still, Camp manages to get better with every album release. Deeper Waters contains several great songs with lyri ..read more

Written by: Jay Heilman (5/9/2024) For the majority of bands that got their start in the early 1980’s or before – many are either no longer around, quit putting out albums, or both.  For the iconic Christian metal band STRYPER, the end still seems far off in distance with the band still churning out new studio records full of music every couple of years, followed by full tours across the country to support them.  Not only that, but lead singer Michael Sweet, despite turning 61 in July, sounds just as amazing vocally now as he’s ever been. Aside from his STRYPER releases, Sweet als ..read more
