I admit, it’s mind-blowing to think that two decades have passed since San Diego rock band Switchfoot released their career-defining fourth studio album, The Beautiful Letdown on February 25, 2003. All kinds of changes for the trio surrounded the release of the album, from being completely without a record label […]
“Starting Here” by Ruthie Larbi
The beginning of a new year can bring a fresh start, renewed hope, and great expectations for what’s to come. This is what I initially thought when writing the final song for my EP, “Starting Here.” I decided to release the song on the first day of 2023, thinking it […]

Forefront Records was my go-to trusted label growing up. Every trip to the brick and mortal Christian bookstore from 1992-1999 I’d always hunt out the yellow lettering on the cd spine as I looked to bolster my ever-growing collection.

“The Unusual Tale” by Julia Guagliardi, HOVR studio

“Our Confidence,” by Phil Craig
I’m not sure what your experience is, but I find my confidence is fickle. Sometimes I feel strong and full of faith and then the next day I feel like quitting. My soul can feel tossed to and fro. I need to remind myself to not let my emotions change […]
