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.

In this episode, Pastor Tony and Pastor Moses dive deep into one of today's most controversial conversations: Can worship music created by artificial intelligence truly be considered worship?With AI-generated Christian songs climbing the charts and digital artists blurring the line between human creativity and machine production, this episode asks honest questions about authenticity, anointing, creativity, and spiritual discernment.Together, they explore:Does a worship song become worship when it's written or when it's sung?Can something created by a machine carry spiritual weight?Is the Church losing its God-given creativity by outsourcing it to AI?What does Scripture reveal about the source of true worship?And should AI-generated songs ever be used in church?Whether you're a worship leader, songwriter, pastor, or someone who cares about the future of faith and technology, this conversation will challenge, stretch, and encourage you.

Jase, Al, and Zach launch a heated debate over what can technically be considered worship music, with Phil still remembered as the king of spinning secular songs into spiritual messages. The guys dig into the truth behind Jesus' final words on the cross, and Jase pulls out the weirdest rule in the entire Bible off the top of his head. Plus, a trucker's unexpected testimony has the guys wondering if a country music collab might be on the horizon.

Michael explains that worship in Scripture is not centered on music but on a life shaped by fearing God, bowing in surrender, and serving with faithful obedience. The modern church culture has reduced worship to personal musical preference, creating a consumer mindset that obscures the biblical call to reverence, humility, justice, and allegiance to God. By examining the meaning of key worship terms and the witness of the prophets, the teaching presents worship as an embodied, whole-life response that reflects God's character, with music functioning as only one expression of devotion rather than the definition of worship itself. The call is to recenter worship on God's desires instead of emotional experience or production value, recovering a holistic, Scripture-formed life of fidelity to Him.

In this sobering and soul-searching message, Pastor Karl dives deep into Matthew 5:17–48, where Jesus declares that He came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it—and then raises the bar of righteousness far beyond anything the scribes and Pharisees ever imagined.Through six piercing examples—anger that murders the heart, lust that commits adultery in the mind, casual divorce, manipulative oaths, retaliation, and hatred disguised as justice—Jesus exposes the truth we all try to avoid: outward obedience is never enough. God judges the heart. Every single one of us stands guilty before His perfect standard.Yet the bad news is meant to drive us to the best news. Pastor Karl powerfully unpacks how Jesus' command in verse 48—“You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect”—is not a cruel impossible demand, but the very reason the Son of God came. We cannot achieve the righteousness God requires, so God freely gives it to us through faith in Christ. Jesus took our unrighteousness and imputes His perfect righteousness to all who repent and trust Him.A hard-hitting, heart-exposing sermon that leaves no room for self-righteousness, but ends with the liberating joy of the gospel: guilty sinners can be clothed in the very righteousness of God and stand before Him as if we had never sinned.

Just because something is “Christian” or has the label “Worship” on it does not mean its existence is completely sanctified. The truth is, the church exists in the world and is susceptible to any manner of abuse or dysfunction that any organization is. The same could be said for CCM or worship music.

Our Summer 2025 series, Beside Still Waters, focuses on the places where creativity brings life into a world fatigued by brokenness and division. From jazz to Jane Austen and in between, this season we'll focus on the ways literature and the arts can refresh and challenge our inner lives—and connect us with the Creator of the good, the true, and the beautiful.Guided by theologian and musician David Bailey and concert pianist and chamber musician Mia Chung, this episode explores the concept that music involves mutual support, balance, and give and take among musicians to create a cohesive experience.And we reflect on how Christian communities can apply these principles of collaboration and harmony to create faith communities that are transformative:To the extent that the arts can actually cultivate that practice of incorporating the right hemisphere and in communication with the left, it's always together, you know, they're, complimentary. I think we can benefit each other in terms of community formation, but even benefit our own intellectual lives and the amount of joy we experience living in this world. - Mia Chung If this work resonates with you, please consider joining the Trinity Forum community as a society member.This podcast is an edited version of our Online Conversation recorded in June, 2024.

Jackie and Preston are joined on the podcast by Gospel music legend Erica Campbell for a conversation on Christian genres and the role of music in our walks as Christ followers. They discuss how race and different cultural experiences factor into the music played in our churches, and how the social media algorithm influences our perception of Christian music too. Is one genre more theologically sound than another? Why is it important for us to not cut ourselves off from how we could experience God in a genre we're not used to? And how can songwriters resist division, keep Jesus at the center, and seek to write music that will actually disciple people? Scripture references:Ephesians 5:18-19This Episode is Sponsored By:https://fieldofgreens.com — Get 20% off and free shipping with code PERRY at checkout!https://www.covenanteyes.com/perrys/ — Get Victory by Covenant Eyes FREE for 30 days with promo code PERRYS Subscribe to the Perrys' newsletter.Join Preston's discipleship community for men.To support the work of the Perrys, donate via PayPal.boldapparel.shop

Flute 360 | Episode 332: "Is It the Universe…or God? Rethinking the Creative Process as a Flutist" In this solo episode, Dr. Heidi Kay Begay invites you into a vulnerable, soulful conversation about creativity, faith, and what it truly means to be a modern-day artist. Inspired by the Flute 360 Accelerator's June book club selection, The Creative Act by Rick Rubin, Heidi reflects on how the book reshaped her understanding of artistry — and how viewing “the Source” through a faith-based lens revealed a deeper truth: that we are co-creators with God. This is not just a book review. It's a gentle nudge for any flutist who's been questioning their identity, comparing their path to others, or wondering whether their art still matters in a season of change or healing. Whether you're playing, podcasting, composing, writing, or resting — this episode will remind you that your creativity is still valid. Still sacred. And still very much needed. Main Points: Why redefining “the Source” as God can ground and deepen your creative process The lie that says “If I'm not performing, I'm not creating” — and how to rewrite that story What it means to be a flutist in a season of injury, recovery, or transformation How to release comparison and show up in your own artistic lane with joy and freedom Why your artistry counts — even if it looks different than it used to How the Flute 360 Accelerator creates a space for flutists to reflect, grow, and connect Resources: Book: The Creative Act by Rick Rubin Join the Flute 360 Accelerator Program: Click Here to Enroll – Tier 1, 2, or 3 Subscribe + Review: If you loved this conversation, please subscribe and leave a review.

(Editor's Note: Welcome to our Reissue series! For the past several weeks, Basic Folk has been digging back into the archives and reposting some of our favorite episodes alongside new introductions commenting on what it's like to listen back. Enjoy!This episode featuring Lizzie No interviewing Joy Oladokun, was originally posted on February 24, 2022.)Arizona-born Joy Oladokun grew up listening to her dad's extensive record collection and falling in love with the wide and wondrous world of rock and roll. You can hear these diverse sonic influences, from Genesis to Tracy Chapman, in Joy's rootsy, contemporary, and pop-savvy 2021 album, 'in defense of my own happiness.' Of particular note are her superpowers for melody and smart repetition, which have made her a force to be reckoned with ever since she made the leap from LA to Nashville to make a life as a musician.Joy is not only a phenomenal songwriter, but she's also fearless and hilarious on social media. Believe it or not, it was Twitter that brought us together and catalyzed this Basic Folk interview. It was fascinating to hear her talk about how she uses her platform as a rising star in indie pop and folk to create the kind of world she wants to see. She's using emotional transparency as a tool for political change; she is healing in public and gently nudging others to heal as well. Her single, “keeping the light on,'' is the perfect distillation of her radical softness.Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/  Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknews  Help produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/ Interested in sponsoring us?
