A new album by Grammy-nominated artist Danny Gokey includes his usual upbeat, hope-filled songs but also includes a track that warns about the deceptive nature of evil and urges the church to “wake up” to the lies society has embraced. “Evil is dressing up to fool the people,” Gokey told Crosswalk Headlines. 

The 11-song LP, Sound of Heaven, releases July 26 and is Gokey’s fifth studio album with a mixture of worship, pop, and Latin sounds. One song from that album, I Got You, is currently on the Billboard Christian Airplay chart.

Crosswalk Talk: Celebrity Christian Interviews

Danny Gokey Talks Hope, Patriotism and His New Album 'Sound of Heaven'

Grammy-nominated artist Crowder says the message on his latest album is simple yet necessary for Christians living in a dark culture: “Everything’s gonna be alright.” The cover of the album, The Exile, features a picture of a dry, desolate land. The 30-second intro to the album includes an eerie voice warning: “In the case of nuclear or radiological fallout, seek shelter.” The core of the album, though, includes hope-filled messages for Christians who feel like they are a “stranger in a strange land,” as one of the tracks says.

“Here in the States it definitely, in my short lifetime, it feels more challenging than ever,” Crowder told Crosswalk Headlines when asked if it’s more challenging to be a Christian in today’s world than in past years.

“If your head is facing a television or your phone, [then] it feels really, really challenging. [But] when you’re in your neighborhood with people that know you and love you and are trying to follow Jesus as well, it doesn’t feel very difficult. I can think of a lot of other places that probably are way more difficult.

“But I do feel like what’s happening, though, is the church, I think, is feeling a robust need to respond in a way that maybe in the past we haven’t. It feels like there’s a tipping point that we’re about to hit, where the church’s voice gets a little more robust and responsive in light of how loud other antagonistic-toward-the-church voices can be. Because they’re pretty loud.”

Grammy-Nominated Crowder on Living Faithfully in Challenging Times

Singer and author Ellie Holcomb says motherhood has given her a fresh outlook on life and a deeper understanding of God’s unconditional love. Holcomb is the mother of three young children and the author of three children’s books, each with a companion EP of original music. Recently, she released two projects geared toward adults: a new Psalms-based album, All of My Days, and an expanded edition of her bestselling devotional, Fighting Words.

Holcomb toured full-time with her husband’s band, Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors before her first child was born.

“One of my favorite things about being a mom is that you get to see the world again -- through their eyes,” she told Crosswalk Headlines. “Everything feels new and fresh. It’s been so good for me as a grown-up.”

She said motherhood has also given her a new perspective on God’s love and grace. 

“We are, first and foremost, beloved sons and daughters of the most high God,” she said. “And so, being a mom has helped me remember that before I’m even a mom, I’m God’s daughter, and He’s going to take such good care of me, and He’s going to take such good care of my kids, too. Man, what a freedom to know: We’re all just God’s kids, trying to make our way back home again. I am grateful for the freedom to be a kid, to mess up.”

Ellie Holcomb on Motherhood, Touring, and Her Love of the Psalms

The artist who is behind the hit song Honestly, We Just Need Jesussays she is on a mission to help reclaim R&B for Christ and to “plant a seed” in the hearts of non-Christians. Terrian released her debut full-length album Give It Time this year, and a song off that chart -- Honestly, We Just Need Jesus -- quickly began climbing the Billboard charts. It’s been on the Billboard AC Airplay chart for 14 weeks and is up to No. 10. It is No. 13 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs list, where it’s been for 18 weeks. 

Fans of the song say it was written for our modern society: “Have we all gone mad? Have we lost our minds? / what used to be wrong, we say that it's right / honestly, I think we just need Jesus.” The lyrics also critique society’s addiction to smartphones and social media. 

TobyMac fans know Terrian as the female vocalist on the Hits Deep Tour and a member of his Diverse City band. With Give It Time -- a mix of pop, R&B and gospel -- she is making a name for herself. She believes her music -- and that of TobyMac and others in the Christian R&B realm -- can serve as a course correction to a genre that is often filled with language and sexually explicit lyrics. 

“The thing that I always remember is that all of those artists grew up in the church,” she told Crosswalk Headlines while laughing. 

“R&B comes from gospel music. So in a way, I think it's us trying our best to sanctify that sound a little bit more. And also recognizing that there are a lot of Christians who love those genres. … We have church music, but we also need to be able to take up space as believers and artists in these other realms, so that Christians can have something else to listen to, but also, unbelievers can hear it as well and go, ‘Oh, I didn’t know Christians can write songs like this and that they're doing that over there.

“I’m just praying that the Lord would plant a seed in their heart and use it to lead them to the cross. I think it’s an outreach.”
