Christian Music Guys

Today we’ve got a special guest who’s helped shape the sound of modern worship across the globe. He’s a founding member of Hillsong Young & Free,  and a songwriter behind some of the most powerful anthems in the Church—songs like Alive, Wake, Real Love, Echo, and A Great Awakening. His heart for worship has reached far beyond the stage, even contributing to the latest release from Lakewood Music.
Now, he’s stepping into a brand new season with a project called SUNDAY—a shift from personal, reflective songwriting into music crafted specifically for the gathered Church… songs meant to unify, uplift, and create space for real encounters with God.
Help us welcome Alexander Pappas!

Today on Christian Music Guys, we’re excited to welcome Rush of Fools—a powerhouse band out of Birmingham, Alabama, whose impact on Christian music has spanned nearly two decades. Known for their breakout hit “Undo,” which dominated Christian radio in 2007, along with songs like “When Our Hearts Sing,” “Lose It All,” and “Grace Found Me,” their music has consistently pointed listeners back to the heart of the Gospel. With a name rooted in 1 Corinthians 1, Rush of Fools has always carried a message of humility and surrender, and now they’re bringing that same passion in a fresh way with their brand-new project, Live in Gatlinburg, available now.

With her breakout single Like Me Better and her latest track Leaning On Jesus, Evelyn is stepping into CCM with a raw, reflective sound rooted in her faith.
