When a sudden storm threatens to sink the disciples’ boat, their fear exposes just how fragile their faith really is. In the chaos, Jesus speaks a word and a raging sea becomes a great calm, revealing that he is no mere teacher but the Lord of creation itself. The storms we face uncover our vulnerability, but they also invite us to trust the one who has faced the ultimate storm on our behalf. Listen this sermon as Jason Harris explores what the super storm reveals about our faith, our fears, and the Savior who stands sovereign over it all. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

This miracle reveals a Savior who affirms the goodness of creation, cares about ordinary human need, and offers a deeper joy than this world can sustain. The wine we chase eventually runs dry, but Jesus provides a new wine that cleanses, renews, and points to a coming feast where joy will never end.

Through repentance and humility, we discover that God’s mercy runs deeper than our failure. Watch this Ash Wednesday sermon as Jason Harris reflects on the day Jesus told a story that calls us to honest repentance and joyful return. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

Rachael Lampa has a unique story in the history of Christian music - a teen sensation in the early 2000s, a long absence to find her true calling, and a triumphant return to CCM, but not in a way you might think!
The Christian life can quietly become a formula of effort and discipline, yet Jesus teaches that real growth cannot be manufactured. In John 15, He invites us to abide in Him — the true vine — where fruitfulness flows not from performance but from living connection. As God lovingly prunes and shapes his people, their lives begin to reflect his glory and overflow with lasting joy. Listen to this sermon as Twaambo Moyo shows how abiding in Christ alone leads to a fruitful life that honors God and satisfies the soul. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

In this episode of Stories Worth Hearing, host John Quick sits down with Derek Webb, one of the most influential figures in modern Christian music and a founding member of Caedmon's Call.Webb helped define an era of Christian music, with career sales approaching one million records, ten GMA Dove Award nominations, three Dove Award wins, and six number one Christian radio hits. His impact on the genre is undeniable and lasting.Check out his music here: https://www.derekwebb.com/Yet today, Derek Webb is not chasing fame, radio charts, or sold out venues.In this conversation, he reflects on his early rise, the pressures that come with commercial success, and the deliberate decision to step away from the spotlight in order to pursue a more honest and independent creative life. Webb shares why being authentic and true to himself matters more now than recognition or numbers, while also expressing deep gratitude for the success and opportunities that shaped his career.The episode explores how Derek has learned to hold both truths at once, honoring what came before while refusing to be defined by it. He talks candidly about freedom, integrity, faith, and what it means to keep creating when the goal is no longer applause but alignment.This is a thoughtful, grounded conversation with an artist who has already “made it” and chose something deeper instead.Subscribe to Stories Worth Hearing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pandora, YouTube, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
MJM has a fascinating story of working alongside Twila Paris, Gary Chapman, Michael Omartian and nearly every great artist and session player in Nashville in the 80s and 90s, but leading some of the largest churches in America in worship might be his greatest legacy.
Love is more than a feeling; it's a promise, a passion, and a power strong enough to withstand life’s fiercest storms. The Song of Songs celebrates romantic love in marriage, yet ultimately points beyond itself to a deeper, covenantal love that no waters can quench. In Christ, we see a love sealed by promise, marked by holy jealousy, and proven stronger than death itself. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris unfolds the promise, passion, and power of God’s unquenchable love for his people. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

John's legacy in the story of Christian music is a rich tapestry of writing enduring songs and being the genius behind so many great artists and albums, but the wisdom he's learned along the way is the real heart of this conversation.
Marriage carries deep hopes, wounds, and longings, yet Scripture invites us to see it as something far richer than culture’s changing definitions. In the Song of Songs, marriage is revealed as a joyful, covenantal union marked by exclusivity, mutuality, and enduring commitment. Beyond human relationships, marriage also points to a greater mystery — the faithful, pursuing love of Christ for his people. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris unpacks a theology of marriage that reshapes how we understand love, commitment, and our ultimate hope in Christ. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

From a broken home and a life of addiction, Glenn's journey through Christian music to his ministry in the inner city and prisons is truly inspiring!
In a culture obsessed with self-definition, the search for identity often leaves us restless rather than secure. Scripture offers a better way: identity received, not achieved, rooted in being fully known and deeply loved by God. The Song of Songs reveals how love shapes who we are and who we are becoming in Christ. Watch this sermon as Jason Harris explores how a theology of identity frees us from self-invention and grounds us in God’s transforming love. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

In this episode of the Westminster Effects Doxology podcast, we're joined once again by Cory Wing. Cory shares his journey as a musician, detailing his recent songwriting spree where he produced over 30 songs in a short period. He discusses the personal nature of his music, particularly his first album, which chronicles his life experiences, including his journey to faith and redemption.The conversation then shifts to the role of artificial intelligence in music production. Cory explains how he has utilized AI to assist in creating his music, emphasizing that while AI plays a significant role, the core creativity and emotional depth of the songs come from his personal experiences. The group debates the implications of AI in the music industry, touching on concerns about authenticity, creativity, and the evolving nature of artistic expression. They conclude by reflecting on the balance between using technology as a tool and maintaining the human element in music and ministry.Subscribe on iTunes, Spotify, Overcast, and YouTube.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X.Join the discussion at the Westminster Effects Green Room.Buy your guitar effects at westminstereffects.com.

Desire is often treated with suspicion or excess, but Scripture presents it as a good gift that reveals something essential about what it means to be human. In the Song of Songs, desire is shown as both divine and dangerous — meant to be cherished, yet requiring wisdom, patience, and proper direction. Ultimately, our deepest longings point beyond human love to a God who desires relationship with us more deeply than we imagine. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris explores how a theology of desire helps us understand our hearts, order our loves, and rest in the one who alone can truly satisfy. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

Artificial intelligence is now being used to create Christian music, and it is topping the streaming charts. Some argue that AI Christian songs can be a tool for spreading the gospel.

Chris has worked with them all - from Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith to Stevie Ray Vaughn and Kristin Chenoweth and everyone in between. Lots of great behind-the-scenes stories in this episode!
In a culture torn between obsessing over the body and despising it, Scripture offers a healing and hopeful vision of embodied humanity. The Song of Songs affirms that our bodies are not problems to be solved but gifts to be received — created good by God, wounded by sin, yet never stripped of dignity. In Jesus, we are given a future hope in which our bodies are redeemed, restored, and made whole. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris invites us to rediscover a theology of the body that leads from confusion to clarity and from brokenness to glory. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

This is an episode for the ministry underdog. There are some unwritten, unhelpful rules about worship ministry and Christian music that we need to say out loud. You're too old. Your voice isn't strong enough. You're too overweight. Your style isn't what we're going for. You can't be the face of the ministry. Of course, we don't say these things out loud, most of the time. But it appears that too often our modus operandi is to be attractive and impressive, beautiful. How are we going to sell the most records? Who is going to draw people to our church? The longer we operate with these cultural values, the more we sideline great leaders and harm them in the process. I'm not advocating anyone could be a worship leader. Obviously, there are skill standards. But how far is too far when it comes to talent, image, beauty, and age? At what point have we abandoned kingdom values for profit, power, and influence? Calvin Nowell is my guest today. Calvin is a songwriter, worship leader, and singer who has sung with many of the top names in Christian Music. Calvin also leads a diverse music collective called Aware Worship that is bringing awareness to the people side of ministry. This is vulnerable conversation. We talk about the dark sides of the industry, stigma in ministry, supporting the underdog, and looking for Jesus on the margins. Tears were shed. The presence of God was felt. Trust me, you will be encouraged. My name is David Santistevan. As always, thanks for listening. You can reach me anytime at david@beyondsundayworship.com. Topics Covered: Calvin’s journey as a worship leader The reality of starting music later in life Why we shouldn’t be afraid of frequent new songs Why diversity is important How the Christian music industry needs to change Why God still has a plan for you The struggle of weight and image as a worship leader Resources Mentioned: Show Sponsor: Planning Center Aware Worship Instagram.com/calvinnowell Show Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by Planning Center, an all-in-one church management software made to help churches help people. You can organize your ministries and keep everyone on your team communicating and aligned around what's going on. As a worship leader, good communication is key to building a strong worship team. You can cultivate relationships while ensuring everyone has what they need to successfully prep for your services. But why not take it up a notch using the chat feature? Built right into the Services mobile app—which, by the way, you should totally download if you haven't already—chat helps you coordinate all the service details with your team. Plus, you can have fun while doing it! No more juggling emails, group texts, and multiple apps to ensure your whole team is aligned. Chat will simplify your communication in one convenient place through the Services mobile app. And everyone can ask questions, request prayer, or join the banter in real-time with one another. The really cool part about chatting with your teams? Team members are dynamically added or removed from conversations as availability changes! So if your original bass player suddenly declines (why is it so hard to find a bass player, anyway?), your newly scheduled bass player is automatically added to the chat conversation. All of your chat conversations stay in sync. No more outdated group threads or irrelevant messages! So what are you waiting for? Download the Services app and start chatting!

It's impossible to tell the story of modern worship music without Don Moen. And the impact he's had on the church and Christian musicians is immeasurable, but we'll do our best to peel back the layers of his six-decade journey.
Praise Series #18 Christian Music Can Be Life ChangingPsalm 35:1-3 “Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord, give praise, O servants of the Lord, you that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God! Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing to his name, for he is gracious!”I have shared personal experiences about praising God through the hard times on this podcast and at my prayer group. During prayer, we have a quiet time when we listen for words from the Lord, similar to the ones I share at the end of each episode. This day, the Lord kept guiding us with scriptures about praise, like the one above. The Bible is filled with instances of praise. King David, for instance, was a great example of praise. Some of the most powerful Psalms of praise we have from David were not when everything was going well for him. Some of the most impactful ones came from him when he was hiding in a cave from his son or from Saul.One reason I suggested that we listen to praise and worship music often is that it is what you will have running through your head. Whatever you surround yourself with is what you will think about; it is what will contribute to the thoughts running through your head, and it will have an effect on how you act. Think about how different things could be if you were constantly listening to music that told you how great God is, how He is always there for you. If you heard stories of how He has helped others, then He will help you, too. What if you heard every day that God loves you and doesn't make mistakes?This is the transformative power of Christian music. It doesn't just uplift us, it changes us. When we listen to it, our hearts open up a bit, and our hearts soften a bit. When we listen to Christian music frequently, we begin to believe in an even deeper way that Jesus loves us and that we are His. We start to believe the things they talk about. We begin to believe that we don't have to be perfect to come to Christ. We believe that we can be forgiven. We believe He died for us, you and me.My husband used to listen to the WAAF radio station. The station number on the radio was 107.3. It has been around since I was a kid. It was a rock station, and they also had a morning show that he liked. However, now 107.3 is KLOVE radio, which is a Christian radio station. I have never heard of a Christian radio station before. It is amazing. If you don't have KLOVE near you, although it is all over the United States, I believe, then they have a website and an app. So, even if you can't get them on the radio where you live, you can still get their music. They also have all sorts of events. They have a section of their website where you can submit prayer requests, and they let you know when someone prays for you. They have pastors you can call and talk to when needed.Another reason listening to this music can be so beneficial is that they often use words in the songs that are right out of the Bible. When I first started listening to Christian music, I remember being so surprised when I would hear the words to the songs in the readings at church. It helped me connect more to the readings because I had already heard the words before. This can happen when you read the Bible, too, but that wasn't where I started. I wasn't there in my faith journey yet.One final benefit I will talk about today is the fact that the music can reach people that the church can't. There are many people who have either been wounded by the church or have preconceived notions about the church, and so they have no desire to ever step through the doors of a church. However, they could be flipping through radio stations and happen to hear a song about Jesus that really touches their heart. Music is a great way to touch hearts because people aren't usually on the defensive while listening. If you start talking to someone about Jesus, they might instantly go on the defensive. They might sense that you are going to preach to them. However, with music, people tend to listen without feeling like that. Music finds a way into people's hearts and souls that is different than anything else.The radio station KLOVE is fundraising this week. They are listener-funded, so every quarter, they do a week of fundraising on the show. I will be honest: this is not my favorite week to listen because I don't like how much they're asking for money; I would rather listen to music. However, what I do like about their fundraising weeks is that they read so many testimonies about how KLOVE and the music they provide have changed so many people's lives. They talk about the power of the music they play and give real-life examples of how it has brought people to Jesus. I have heard some amazing testimonies from this radio station. I have taken a few from their website so that I can show you how powerful music can be. Here are a couple of the ways KLOVE and the music they play have affected others.I enjoy listening to K-LOVE every morning on my way to work. When I am feeling down and out, a song starts playing, and it is just the song I needed to hear. Thank you, everyone at K-LOVE, for doing what God wants you to do. God bless you all.My husband passed away in May. It has been rough, to say the least. One of the things we did was talk when I was driving home from work. K-LOVE has filled that void. I listen to K-LOVE all the time in my car. Thank you for your ministry.A few years ago, I went through a difficult breakup, and I found that it wasn't helpful to keep listening to regular radio stations. They only reminded me of the pain I was going through. That's when I switched to K-LOVE, and I never went back.I had been praying and thinking about something for a while, and finally just asked God to tell me what to do. Then I heard the verse of the day: Psalms 37:7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him. At that moment, God was talking to me.This is not an ad for the KLOVE radio station. I just want to let you know how important and beneficial it can be to listen to Christian music. You can also go on Spotify. This is an app and a website, and they have a ton of amazing Christian music on there, too. There is a playlist on there called Walk Boldly With Jesus Favorites. This has several of my favorite songs on it. I will place a link for this playlist in the show notes. I pray that each of you will spend some time this week listening to some Christian music. You can find a ton on YouTube as well. Just put in the search bar, praise and worship songs with lyrics. That way you can sing along with them!Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless each person listening to this episode today. Lord, thank you for encouraging us to praise you and for creating us to praise you. Lord, please continue to increase our desire to praise you and teach us how to praise you more and more. We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name. Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. “As we're at the beginning of a new year, I want to share something I'm launching that feels especially timely.

As a new year begins, Scripture calls us to consider not just better habits but a better focus — one that anchors our lives in what truly lasts. The book of Hebrews lifts our eyes to the supremacy of Jesus, revealing him as greater than prophets, angels, and every other voice that competes for our attention. Left unattended, faith can quietly drift, but a clear vision of Christ draws us back to the greatness of the salvation he has fully accomplished. Watch this sermon as Andrew Smith invites us to pay much closer attention to Jesus, the Son who is better than all and the source of our great salvation. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

In this final 2025 look back episode I replay some of my favorite moments with some of the greatest male vocalists in CCM history!
We often assume that being broken disqualifies us from love, purpose, or belonging, but Scripture tells a very different story. The Bible reveals a God who moves toward us in our weakness, naming our wounds without abandoning us and calling us beloved even when we feel most undone. True healing begins not with pretending we are whole but with trusting the one who meets us in our brokenness with grace. Listen to this sermon as Hansol Kang explores how God holds together our brokenness and belovedness, inviting us into honest faith and deeper restoration. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

[00:30] Christian Music and Christmas—True Religious Revival? (55 minutes) AP thinks Christian music's popularity proves America is experiencing a religious revival. But Christian churches—Protestant and Catholic alike—do not preach the truth of the Bible. Those celebrating Christmas today may feel very religious, but true religion is based on God's Word and not human tradition.
Christmas can easily become sentimental, commercial, or routine, but Scripture calls us to something far deeper. The Gospel of John reveals Jesus as the promised Savior who brings light to our minds, love to our hearts, and life to our whole being — confronting our darkness with truth and grace. This is not an invitation to admire a tradition but to receive a person who forgives, heals, and restores us completely. Listen to this Christmas Eve sermon as Jason Harris proclaims how Jesus, the promised Savior, offers real hope, unconditional love, and new life that begins now and lasts forever. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

Every human heart longs for a God who speaks — a voice beyond ourselves that can answer life’s deepest questions and guide us toward truth. Scripture promises that God would not leave His people in the dark but would raise up a prophet greater than Moses to reveal his will, stand in the gap, and bring lasting transformation. In Jesus, that promise is fulfilled: He does not merely speak God’s word; He is God’s Word, offering revelation, mediation, and new life to all who listen. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris explores how Jesus, the promised Prophet, speaks with authority, draws us near to God, and reshapes what it means to be truly human. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

The headlines have been filled with stories of Christian leaders facing serious accusations of wrongdoing and abuse. So how do we respond when the people we admire—and trust—let us down? This week on the podcast, we're joined by Matt Hammitt, who brings honest insight into the state of the Christian music industry. From the recent controversy surrounding Michael Tait of the Newsboys to the broader issue of leadership failures in the church, Matt helps us navigate these tough but important conversations. If you've been hurt by a leader in the church, or you're wrestling with how to respond when a hero falls, this episode is for you. God wants to lead us from bitterness toward healing and restoration—and this conversation points the way.

After 25 years in and out of the Chrisitian music industry, Rachael Lampa is looking back with fresh eyes. As a huge fan, I was geeking out to ask her all things I always wanted to know. Rachael reminisces about her rise to fame as a teen, how a Jonas brother helped her get engaged, and why she returned to Christian music after intentionally leaving. Hear the previous interview that we reference here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqnXMOdEO8g Hear Rachael's re-release of her song "Blessed" with Stacie Orrico here: https://youtu.be/MnleKjqgN2g?si=wXUsF5Mnj-uyh7Yc
Allie exposes Texas' rebranded Islamic enclave “The Meadow” — formerly EPIC City — warning of Sharia's creeping dominance in America. She contrasts Islam's conquest ideology with Christianity's gospel of peace, urging bold resistance without fear. Allie also brings attention to the 10-year anniversary of the Bataclan Massacre in France. And amid darkness, Christian music surges, reshaping culture with musicians like Forrest Frank and Brandon Lake. And we also take a look at the shift in priorities between conservatives and progressive men and women when it comes to getting married and raising a family. Even Kelsea Ballerini knows what's going on, as her new single "I Sit in Parks" strikes a chord with women who fell for feminism. Join us to reject toxic empathy, stand for biblical truth, and celebrate God's unstoppable redemption plan.
