As we continue to look back at the music that released when JFH was founded 25 years ago in 1996, an album that I often still come back to is Eric Champion‘s self-reinvention album, Transformation. (I think the very first iteration of JFH even had an image of Eric from […]
“How Do You?” by Apex Frazier
“How do you love?”.. That’s such a strange question, but one that I’ve found myself asking God many times. If you haven’t heard my album, “Missions & Convictions”, or if you’re not familiar with my story, allow me to catch you up. My name is Caleb, I’m an independent artist, […]
“The First Family” by Micah McCaw
You’ve seen plants die and you’ve seen animals die, but no human has yet to pass on. Your parents have told you of a Garden where beauty and life flourished beyond comprehension. Yes, you know that death could happen to a human, but you hold your breath. You spend your […]
“Black in Black from Sonic Slumber” by Sorrowstorm
Last year, when my family and friends gave me the idea to restart my music career, I half-heartedly purchased an electronic drum set, some stringed instruments, a microphone, and recording software to make home-demos with and see if I could play the way I used to many years ago. I […]

Ahhh, the 90s! What a decade of great music. Truth be told, though this is the decade of my formative years, and therefore my favorite overall decade of Christian music, I’ve put off making this list. Well, better said, I’ve delayed finishing this list for a long time. Many a […]
“From the Nightclub to the Cross” by Rikki Doolan
I was saved by the Lord Jesus Christ in my hometown of Middlesbrough in 2012. From 2007 onwards I would sing in nightclubs, pubs, and even on the streets. Along with that, I lived a real rock and roll lifestyle with regular mass sessions of alcohol, and endless cocktails of drugs. […]

“1996” by Josh Balogh
It’s time for another yearly retrospective! Here’s my picks for what a Top 10 would have looked like had I been making them twenty five years ago. Of course, I have the benefit of hindsight, but to be fair at least seven of the ten were favorites then and I […]
“The Expected 3-Step Growth of a Christian from 1 Peter”
Some years ago, a dear friend and trusted spiritual mentor named Greg – who led a Bible study for us for many years – emailed me this Christian “Growth Chart” inspired by 1 Peter. I found it again in my emails recently and thought it was well worth sharing with […]
“American Dream” by We The Least
What’s up, everybody!? I’m Nathanael from WE THE LEAST, and this is the story behind the song “American Dream” on our new album Sundae Best. “American Dream” was inspired by a sermon that I heard about how Christianity is not equivalent with the American Dream of comfort and material wealth. […]
