Cousins BreeKay and Kasairi contradict norms, both within the Christian hip-hop subgenre and music industry as a whole. 

As a Christian, hip-hop-influenced, Mexican (and part-black), female pop duo, they represent a new frontier. But, if you ask them, they haven’t even noticed yet.

Both girls grew up in Southern

James Gardin releases a new music video for "Feels Like", a fan favorite off of his recently released album Living Daylights.

Here's what James had to say about the new music video:

"At times we can start to feel like we've lost who we truly are. This can happen because of mistakes, regrets, and guilt that we let haunt us through our lives. I believe grace has forgiven us, and and that only way back to our truth is through God's navigation."

Nick Halen’s story

I am 31 years old, have been married for seven years next month and have three daughters. God has truly blessed me. However, I almost threw it all away before most of it got started.

My wife and I made a mistake when we were still very young. We were 19 when we met, and we hit it off right away. Things progressed nicely for the next few months. She started coming with me to my church and attending a college age group we had.

However, nine months into our relationship, we t

The loading and firing of a gun are the first sounds heard on Christian rapper Drew Anderson’s albumLazarus that he released this weekend. Those sounds also cameo during the climax of his Christian testimony — when he says he was shot in the face, pronounced dead and placed in a body bag before he awoke. 
“I hear people say, ‘He shouldn’t be here,’” Anderson said. “I really shouldn’t be here if it was up to any power other than God.”

This is the whole testimony that he tells.

Loose is a high energy anthem that is meant to be an encouragement and charge to believers. Jesus tells us several times in scripture that there will be persecution that comes as a  result of following Him. For most Americans, the majority of the time that persecution is social and doesn't necessarily lead to physical harm. Nonetheless, we can still struggle with wanting to fit in and have man’s approval. The song is entitled Loose with an intentional play on the word. On one hand it is intend

If you look at the brand leader in just about any category you should notice those companies take pride in providing customers with quality not quantity. There are a few exceptions to this rule. Mcdonald's and Subway run the fast food market, but that's fast food! When people go to Mcdonald's it's out of value and convenience. They want it cheap and fast. But let's talk about Apple.
