The Ward brothers have been doing ministry through music for longer than they haven't at this point, which means they have lived a lot of life cooped up in enclosed spaces together. Funny enough, Caleb, Jordan, and Josh share that they were probably better behaved on the road when they were younger and their parents were their means of travel. The heart behind their hit song First Things First comes from the ups and downs of being brothers on the road: in the moments when they're getting on each other's nerves the most, keep the first things first. The Wards talk about the lessons their dad ta ..read more

Ben Fuller's song "Who I Am" has made an impact on so many of us... as evidenced by how long it dominated the charts at #1 and recently earning an NRT We Love Awards nomination.

After moving to Nashville, Ben had an encounter with Jesus that broke the chains of addiction.   Ben chats with us about the peace he found once he surrendered his life to Christ. Through his relatively short time as a Christian, he has seen God restore relationships in his life, break addictions, and restore ..read more

A lot has happened since we chatted with Tasha Layton about this time last year: she released her debut album, there were #1 songs, the tours... and then on top of all that, she released a second album for Christmas. While she's found success and received the accolades, she is more focused on following the call that God has on her life. Plaques fade and a career could be gone in an instant, but loving her family and sharing Jesus lasts long after the lights go down. Tasha shares some of the moments that this year has brought, from an Opry debut to spending time on the road with her kids. She a ..read more

The magic formula for how to reach the next generation seems to be the most elusive item in the modern church.

At 23 years old, Zauntee is working hard to reach his generation for Jesus. He shares his heart for reaching Gen Z and what makes this generation tick. Zauntee talks about how Gen Z wants to be a part of a movement and to be a part of ..read more

In a recent interview, Bart Millard of MercyMe was asked if he felt like he was preaching to the choir sometimes. His response was that now he absolutely is preaching to the choir because it's divided and splintered. With their time on stage, their hope is that maybe the few thousand people there can agree on something for an hour and a half when it seems impossible to agree on anything.  Although we'll still have our own opinions and viewpoints, the heart of MercyMe is to guide the Church to unity on the foundation of Jesus. This theme is woven throughout Always Only Jesus through songs ..read more
