Air1 Worship: Faith Behind The Song: 'No Fear' By
JON REDDICK
| |
(Jon Reddick's "No Fear" from his new album of the same name, is #1
on Billboard's CCM charts for the
third straight week)
<<As a kid, one of the coolest brands was “No Fear.” My friends who rode BMX and motocross wore No Fear racing gear, and several friends known for being risk-takers often wore their t-shirts.
<<The idea of “No Fear” meant that you weren’t backing down from a challenge nor letting a few rules get in the way of a good time. Despite my youthful admiration of these people, I learned that their “No Fear” attitude wasn’t the path of wisdom. They got in accidents, injured their body, and lost future opportunities because a “No Fear” approach often led to “Many consequences” experiences.
<<I thought of those shirts and my teenage lessons when I recently heard Jon Reddick’s new song “No Fear.” Though the title and the 90s brand share the same two words, they carve out very different paths. While the brand rejected laziness, conformity, and authority, Reddick’s songs aren’t about rebellion, but a relationship with God. “No Fear” is a song about freedom from fear. As the chorus declares, “The mighty power of Jesus is fighting for me here.”
<<The song opens with Reddick sharing his response to overwhelming circumstances.
“You might think that I'd be afraid
Runnin' scared with a shaken faith
But the God I know says it ain't over
The God I know is gonna make a way.”
<<When Reddick recently shared the song on his Facebook page, his caption read, “My hope is this song reminds you that we have not been given a spirit of fear! God is over your LIFE!”

(Pastor Mike, Jr is at #1 for the second straight week on Billboard's Gospel Music charts with his single, "Amen", from his new album, out this week,
"God Showing Out")
<<Dubbed “The New King of Urban Inspiration,”PMJ (Pastor Mike Jr.) is blazing a new trail. Not only does he Pastor one of the fastest growing ministries in the south, he’s now a 19x Stellar Award & Dove Award Winning Gospel Artist...the first artist to threepeat as "Artist of the Year."
<<His mission is to reach those "on the margins, the least, the lonely, the left out, and the lost."
<<The influential platform he is building through ministry—both pastoral and musical—he believes is instrumental in accomplishing this goal. "Influence is better than money,” Mike said, because it can “help transform lives on a very real level.”
<<After years of ministry and musical success—including five consecutive number-one singles on Billboard’s National Gospel Airplay chart—Pastor Mike Jr. released his self-declared anthem of 2025, “Amen.” The song was born out of a simple, powerful observation during a Sunday sermon: “My songs are just sermons with melodies. While preaching one Sunday, I couldn’t help but notice everyone saying amen! Amen means I Agree! I felt led to write a song that encourages and speaks life over everyone with a simple response, AMEN!” Pastor Mike Jr. shared.
<<“Amen” is more than a song; it’s a declaration of faith and resilience. The lyrics echo Pastor Mike Jr.’s journey and his message to listeners:
<<The impact of “Amen” extended beyond the music charts. The song’s infectious energy inspired a viral dance challenge on social media, with Pastor Mike Jr. teaching fans and even talk show hosts the moves. “My team called me like, ‘Oh, Pastor Mike wants to teach you how to do the viral dance,’” recounted one host, highlighting the song’s cultural reach.
<<Pastor Mike Jr.’s story and his song “Amen” remind listeners everywhere that, no matter the circumstance, there is always a reason to say “Amen.”

AMIR TSARFATI
"The Israel Decree"
| |
Bestselling Christian author
Amir Tsarfati's latest book,
“The Israel Decree: The Past, Present, and Future of the World's Most Controversial Strip of Land,” entered this month's Top 50 Christian
Best Seller's List at #1.
<<Amir Tsarfati sat down with co-author Steve Yohn for a special episode of "Authors’ Corner," discussing their new book, "The Israel Decree." The conversation was more than a book launch; it was a passionate defense of Israel’s biblical identity and a call to understand the prophetic significance of current events.
<<“This is always exciting to talk about a book, especially this particular one, because it's a very unusual book that we've ever worked on. It's actually a smaller, thinner, and very timely one.”
<<Amir and Steve emphasized the urgency of their message. The world, they noted, is awash in anti-Israel sentiment and confusion—even among churches.
<<“Since October 7th, a wave of anti-Israel propaganda has swept across the globe. Nations have condemned Israel. Protesters have filled the streets. Even churches have gone silent—or worse, questioned if modern Israel is truly the Israel of the Bible. It's not just political. It's spiritual warfare.”
<<Amir explained that "The Israel Decree" is not just a history lesson, but a guide to understanding “the unbroken covenant between God and His chosen people—and why it still matters today.”
<<Amir described the book’s core: the extraordinary decree God imparted to Abraham—“the promise of land, of a nation, and the promise to be a blessing to the world.” He explained, “God’s uniquely-called people were to bless the world by showing God’s character, by giving us the Word of God, and by producing the Savior of the world.”

10 Ways to Save on Health Care
<<We know nobody’s talking about rising health care costs because it’s super affordable right now and nobody’s struggling at all. (That . . . is sarcasm.) But we thought we’d address it anyway—specifically, how to save on health care. You know, just in case you felt like saving money sometime. In the future. ‘Cause everything’s just fine right now. (More sarcasm.)
<<From health insurance to prescriptions to therapy, the cost to keep you and your loved ones operational adds up quickly.
<<Don’t let the system get you down. There are ways to save, and we’re going to show you 10 of them right now.
1. Check Your Health Insurance Coverage
<<You’ve got health insurance (you’ve got health insurance, right?), but just because you have the plan with the highest coverage doesn’t mean you have the right plan. You might be paying for more than you need! Or it could be you don’t have enough and that’s costing you.
<<Review your health insurance coverage and look for whether you’re using it a lot or not. Under or over usage might be a sign you have the wrong amount of coverage.

Guest Author Annie Downs: Make Fun a Priority Now – Here’s Why!
By Jim Daly,
President of Focus on the Family
<<Annie F. Downs is a New York Times bestselling author of several books including "Chase the Fun, Where Did TJ Go?," and "100 Days to Brave." She invites her readers to experience fulfilled lives with a God who made them on purpose and loves them deeply. Annie is the co-founder of the ‘That Sounds Fun’ podcast network, and creator of Single Purpose League, a community for single women to discover friendship, hope, and a life of purpose. Annie splits her time between Nashville, Tennessee and New York City.
<<In a world that feels fractured and frustrating, with so much stress and worry, can we still have fun? Is fun worth prioritizing when our schedules are packed and life is hard? Where do faith and fun intersect -- or do they? Annie F. Downs shares all the reasons you not only CAN have fun, but SHOULD.
<<Jim Daly: Well, Annie is a very joyful person and we’re delighted to be able to share that joy with our listeners today. She’s sold over 1 million books.
<<Annie: The Bible talks a lot about joy and Christians want to talk about joy. I am one of us, I’m also a Christian. But people want to talk about joy, but they don’t want to talk about fun. Because fun is often considered sinful, right? Very often if you say, “Oh, they are a ton of fun.” You’re like, “How much does he drink?” Right? Or you’re like, “What are they really into?” Oh, that person’s so fun and you think they stay out late. They’re kind of wild. Whatever. I think we’ve, by labeling that, we’ve removed where fun and joy connect and we’ve taken fun away from the opportunity that redeemed fun is part of how God made us. And it isn’t just for children, it’s for us too. So there is this place where joy and fun and our faith all meet.
