    Gospel vs. CCM? What Faithful Church Musicians Really Think (Top 10 Episode)

    Few topics spark more passion (and opinion) than the discussion over Gospel versus Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) in our churches. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to pick a side, or wrestled with how to faithfully serve God, your congregation, and your artistry in a culture full of musical "either/ors," you’re not alone.  That's why we're revisiting a powerful and timely conversation with music minister  Levell Hawkins on The God and Gigs Show. This discussion isn’t just about genres—it’s about embracing a spiritual, creative, and professional mindset that transcends the “worship wars,” helps you build a lasting career, and unites your creative calling with God’s greater purpose.

    Does what you wear truly represent WHO you are?  Fashion is one of the most personal and revealing ways that we express ourselves every day, but the powerful industry that makes these clothes is largely hidden from the public - especially when it comes to how Christian values are perceived and treated.  In this episode,  you'll find out what really happens behind the scenes in the fashion industry when you're a Christian trying to share and protect your values and beliefs from Micah Lee, a Christian fashion designer and entrepreneur who has seen the risks and rewards of sharing your brand in an ultra competitive arena.  Micah founded Emperiol Clothing, an urban street wear clothing line designed to express Christian faith in a size inclusive and modern aesthetic. He shares the reality of building a fashion brand while dealing with the pressure of the industry and those who don't appreciate or understand your faith or belief system.  Learn More About Micah and his work:  emperiol.com Tap to send us a text!
