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.

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.

Everyone's talking about Skillet's "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" - the one that packs crushing guitars, raw screams, and real grief into one track. The comments are flooded with people who've lost children, spouses, and hope… and they're saying, “Finally. Someone gets it.”In this episode, Cody Fields and Bradley Cox unpack why that song is hitting so hard, why so much modern Christian music feels emotionally weightless, and why heavy music might actually be one of the most honest forms of worship we have right now.We talk grief, groaning, the Psalms, patient endurance, and why the church desperately needs outlets that let us scream instead of only smile.If you've ever felt like worship music doesn't have room for your pain or wondered why metal keeps showing up in Christendom, this one's for you.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.
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.

God’s call to Abraham reveals a radically new way of being human — one rooted not in self-made identity or manufactured greatness, but in God’s gracious initiative. In a world where our circumstances often leave us longing for a different kind of life, Scripture shows that God still breaks into our darkness with a promise that reshapes everything. At the center of that promise stands Jesus, the true Seed and true Home, through whom all the families of the earth are blessed. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris unfolds how God’s ancient promise to Abraham finds its fulfillment in Christ and is offered to us today. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

What happens when a hitmaker hits a breaking point? In this revealing episode of Contagious Influencers of America, nine-time Emmy winner David Sams sits down with Gold-certified, award-winning singer-songwriter Colton Dixon—an artist who has spent his career using music to connect hearts, lift spirits, and offer hope. With nearly 1 billion streams, multiple #1 Billboard debuts, and songs that have broken records and inspired books, Colton has seen the power of music to bring people together. And yet, he approaches his craft with deep humility, treating music as a universal language that carries both beauty and responsibility. His mission? To write truth, reflect hope in darkness, and leave people better than he found them. In this conversation, Colton opens up about the moment that inspired his new single "The Love I Have For You," a song shaped by the life-changing experience of fatherhood. He shares how juggling twins, marriage, and a booming career led to a season of anxiety—one he refused to let define his identity. Colton discusses how Romans 8 reframed his perspective, why he chooses to speak hope over fear, and the surprising lessons his five-year-old girls teach him every day. David and Colton also dive into the wave of revival sweeping across college campuses, the healing power of forgiveness—highlighted by a recent high-profile example that moved him—and the importance of guarding our digital habits in a distracted world. Colton even weighs in on whether AI has a meaningful place in the creative process. They wrap up with the story behind his Christmas single "Home for Christmas" and what "home" really means to someone who spends much of life on the road. Along the way, you'll hear how his reverence for the art of songwriting, his commitment to integrity, and his desire to use music for good continue to shape his life as an artist. You can listen to Colton's holiday single Home For Christmas, now streaming on the Christmas Wish Channel and KeepTheFaith Radio. Stay until the end for a heartfelt message of hope for anyone struggling through the holidays—and learn how you can join the Christmas Wish movement to help families with gas, groceries, and the basics that bring real joy.

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.

Natalie and I sit down to talk about her storied career, her marriage to her producer, and her love for worship and the church.
Paul’s “fool’s speech” in 2 Corinthians 11 flips worldly values upside down, exposing leaders who boast in themselves and highlighting the power of weakness shaped by Christ. Paul’s scars — not his successes — reveal the heart of a true shepherd who suffers for the good of others. And ultimately, his example points to Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who proves his love through his wounds. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris shows how authentic Christian leadership is formed through humility, sacrifice, and the way of the cross. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.
