The story about AI-gen Solomon Ray has so much more than industry news. There's REAL Solomon Ray (also a Christian musician), a Jan. 6-adjacent hip-hop artist, Forrest Frank, and a conversation about what Christian music is for.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how churches have been using hyper-polished contemporary music to attract people. What it what they actually want and need is radical anti-polish, and songs that are more like homemade casseroles?

Yes and amen and more of it, please:

"Reorienting a church’s musical culture toward grassroots songwriting and local eclecticism could be one sign of our upside-down kingdom." -- @kkramermcginnis.bsky.social

If you're wondering what happened to the evangelical women's blogosphere, wonder no more. Social media, Covid, politics, and tribalism play a role in seismic shifts.

Will there be a Christian halftime show? We don’t know.
Here’s some reporting on what we DO know about the ideas that are percolating and the historical precedent for Super Bowl counter-programming.

"The good-Christian-parenting empire runs on the assumption that parental intentionality will achieve certain results." @mburtwrites.bsky.social @kkramermcginnis.bsky.social

On Halloween, Taylor Swift, and culture panic as entertainment:
open.substack.com/pub/kkramerm...
Performing moral outrage about Taylor Swift or Halloween or a movie about pop star demon hunters allows Christians who feel squeamish about the content of a particular piece of media to be entertained by it anyway. The fascination is baptized through moralizing, posturing and public rejection.
I think the dirty secret of the Christian moral panic industrial complex is that it has become its own form of entertainment.
There are Christian influencers whose whole brand, it seems, is built on sowing fear about pop culture.
Okay what is it with 4 year olds and “Holy Holy Holy”?? My 4 year old sings it CONSTANTLY.
About to go live on YouTube to talk about our book! Join me and @mburtwrites.bsky.social as we talk with Wendy Snyder about Christian parenting teaching and its ideological underpinnings.

The new wave of Satanic Panic over popular music doesn’t stem from fiery preachers in suits—this time, it’s Christian influencers and musicians stoking alarm. And they are mobilizing beliefs about musical worship to gain traction.

Worship as Invasion vs. Worship as Intimacy:
"Adam Russell, director of Vineyard Worship USA, said that over the past 20 years, he has seen a movement in contemporary worship music away from intimacy and toward 'intensity'.” @kkramermcginnis.bsky.social

Christian influencers and artists are starting to call out in the "demonic" in secular songs again.
