TOBYMAC Reminds Fans They’re Never ‘Too Lost’ for Jesus’ Love with #1 Single

"A lil Church"

(TobyMac's "A lil Church (Nobody’s

Too Lost)" from his new album, "Heaven On My Mind," is #1

on Billboard's CCM charts

for the first time this week)

<<TobyMac is sharing the value of local church communities in his current hit song, “a lil Church (nobody’s too lost).”

<<“The line I love in that song is, ‘If nobody’s too lost to get found, I could use a little church right now,’” the singer said while visiting K-Love Radio. “I mean, I believe that. That’s the line of the record to me — is there more of a Christ message than that? That nobody’s too lost. What you’ve done, who you’ve hurt, how bad you’ve been hurt — nobody’s too lost to be found by the love of Jesus.”

<<K-Love DJ Lauree added, “That’s the line that just triggered hope in my heart for anybody that does feel like [that].”

<<“I love the local church, and I’m a member at a church and I believe in it fully,” TobyMac said. “I believe it’s Christ’s plan. But I also know that we’re the hands and feet. I think, more than ever, we need to go out, and the church is beyond the walls.”

<<He continued, “We all know that, but to live it and to say, ‘Look, when you walk into a group of believers, your community, you should feel family, you should feel warmth, you should feel invited, you should feel included.’”

<<The singer also recently released “God Did It,” a track that describes the way God helps us in hard times. 

<<“After hard things hit us, we can recover — we can be strong again,” TobyMac said in a statement about the single. “The songs on this album (Heaven On My Mind) have taken me from the journey of "Life After Death," where I felt the slap of pain and wrestled with God through the why and how, and ‘what did I do wrong,’ to discovering His love again. It’s brought me to a place of loving Him deeper — more than ever before — and altered not only my journey in life, but my journey with God.”

MAVERICK CITY MUSIC "Constant"

(Maverick City Music is up 3 spots to #5 on Billboard's Gospel Music charts with their single, "Constant", from their album, "Live At Maverick City")

<<When Atlanta based Maverick City Music set out to create their song "Constant", they aimed to craft more than just a worship track—they sought an anthem for anyone enduring doubt, grief, and change, anchored in the unwavering faithfulness of God. This vision brought together vocal American Idol Season Six winner Jordin Sparks, rising star Anthony Gargiula, and worship leader Chandler Moore, forming a diverse trio whose collaboration has left a mark on the contemporary worship scene.

<<The heart of "Constant" is found in its message: no matter how people or circumstances change, God remains unmovable and trustworthy through every season and storm. Drawing inspiration from their own journeys, the writers—including Sparks and Gargiula—intertwined their personal experiences with faith into the soul-stirring lyrics.

<<"I've been locked in this grief, but I'm not broken. Now the door is open".

<<For Sparks, owning her past struggles is part of her healing: "I know these scars only mean that I'm healing. Nothing in this world is definite except our God. He is our constant!"

<<Gargiula, a co-writer and seasoned performer despite his youth, leads the second verse, his voice resonating with fresh hope. In a behind-the-scenes studio moment, Gargiula reflected:

<<"And even knowing that you have a fear of vulnerability, a fear of connection, a fear of intimacy, lets me know that I can exploit that."

His words, though playful, hint at the deeper themes in "Constant"—leaning into vulnerability for the sake of authentic connection, both with others and with God.

<<In an enthusiastic message to fans, Maverick City Music summarized the project’s heartbeat: “Family, we’re beyond excited to share this with you all! This song is a reminder of God’s faithfulness to us—in every wave and storm, He remains constant through it all.”

<<The collaboration shows that, even in our scars and struggles, there is healing and hope when we remember what remains unchanging. And through the voices of Sparks, Gargiula, and Moore, that message rings out—clear, honest, and unwavering.

Christian, ‘tradpop’ music making ‘a comeback’ as conservative ideals become more popular: report

<<Faith-based and “traditional” pop hits are surging on the music charts this year, as noted in a recent report.

<<Alex Warren’s “Ordinary,” “a folksy melodramatic ballad about faith and love,” according to Semafor, was the No. 1 song in the country this week and has been on Billboard’s Hot 100 for the past 20 weeks.

<<The song’s popularity isn’t an oddity. Several Christian and country artists have also ranked high on the music charts this year, the report said, indicating a “political vibe shift” in American pop music since President Donald Trump took office.

<<Christian artists Brandon Lake and Forrest Frank have also enjoyed more mainstream success. Lake’s “Hard Fought Hallelujah” is now in its 19th week on the Billboard Hot 100 and Frank’s “Your Way’s Better” hit its 10th week on the chart.

<<“Christian music is making a serious comeback,” Billboard reported in May after the two Christian songs became the first faith-based hits in 11 years to make it on the Hot 100 chart.

"Living Fearless"

Bestselling Christian author

Jamie WInship's latest book,

“Living Fearless: Exchanging the Lies of the World for the Liberating Truth

of God,” moved up from

#17 to #5 in this month's Top 50 Christian Best Seller's.

<<In this interview, we hear the incredible true story of Jamie Winship, a former police officer who asked God to lead him in his work through real-time conversations with the Holy Spirit and Scripture. What followed was both deeply rewarding and wildly unexpected—success on the job, but also a State Department investigation and suspension from the force.

<<In his book "Living Fearless: Exchanging the Lies of the World for the Liberating Truth of God," Jamie Winship explores how fear can shutdown creativity and hinder relationships, while honesty with ourselves, God, and others is vital for growth. He teaches that confession is the first step toward genuine transformation and that Satan fears the truth because deception thrives when truth is absent

<<One memorable story Jamie shares involves an angel standing guard over him and his coworkers during a tense situation, reinforcing the reality of God’s protection for those who trust in Him. He further explains, “One of the great incentives of being in the Kingdom of knowing Christ is that you have the mind of Christ and you’re filled with the spirit of the living God… Evil doesn’t require imagination. Evil just imitates”

<<Ultimately, Jamie Winship’s message is an invitation to exchange fear and lies for truth and courage by living fearlessly in our true, God-given identities:

<<“Until we exchange what’s false for what’s real, we will never experience the true freedom of our identity in Christ.”

<<His story and teachings encourage believers to confront their fears, discover who they really are in God, and walk boldly in the peace and power that comes from that identity.

How to Save Money on

Back-to-School Shopping

<<It’s here. The much anticipated (or dreaded) list of school supplies a mile long. To make it worse, your kid walks by in a crop top (that definitely wasn’t a crop top last season) to tell you their shoes don’t fit anymore.

<<Let’s just say back-to-school shopping will be expensive this year. Not only do you have a lot to buy, but there’s also that whole inflation thing happening. If you’re expecting things to get more expensive, you’re not alone. This year, 84% of people are expecting to see higher prices when back-to-school shopping.

<<Listen, that list of yours may be massive, but these 15 back-to-school shopping tips can help you prioritize your spending so you can save money (and we all want to save money).

1. Create and prioritize your list of back-to-school shopping needs.

<<Before you start shopping willy-nilly, create a list of needs and put them in order from most pressing to least. So, a few new shirts and a pair of shoes might be at the top of the list and that new iPad for homework might be at the bottom (the old one is still kicking). You may not be able to cover everything right away—but creating this list will help you see what you need to tackle first.
