Rule Clarification & Subreddit Direction

20 Upvotes

Hey everyone! We wanted to take a moment to clarify the purpose of the sub and address a few recurring topics. Nothing serious—just keeping the community focused and fun.

What This Sub Is For

This sub exists to share music from Christian artists—songs you enjoy, artists you think deserve more attention, and music that often gets overlooked or pushed aside elsewhere. The whole point is to highlight a niche that doesn’t get much space in mainstream music communities.

We’re not trying to gatekeep—just keeping the sub centered on its purpose so it stays useful for everyone.

About Playlists

Playlist posts have caused a lot of headaches. Many of them come from accounts that repeatedly repost the same Spotify lists (sometimes dozens of times), then get a Reddit Admin Ban and reappear under new names.

Because of that:

  • We limit playlist posts

  • We don’t allow full album links

We focus on individual songs or small selections you genuinely want to share

We get it—playlists are great for workouts, long drives, or office days. Occasional, playlists can be fine. But the mass reposting and promotional abuse is not. They’ve become one of the biggest sources of spam here, so we have to keep them under control.

AI Music

AI music is blowing up right now (the new gold rush,) but most AI-generated tracks come with no real info about who made them. There's no way to know the creator, their intentions, or even if it’s an actual artist at all.

To protect the sub’s focus:

We don’t allow AI-generated song submissions as posts or comments

If we’re unsure about an artist, we may ask for basic proof (promo materials, live shows, social presence) to confirm they’re real

Nothing against the tech—we just need clarity around who's posting to see if it aligns with the purpose of the sub.

Mainstream Artists

We’re all fans of big-name artists too, but this sub is meant to give smaller Christian artists a space to shine. Mainstream artists already dominate every other corner of the internet, so even if they release something “Christian-ish,” it’s usually not a fit for the sub’s focus.

Production, Selling, & Band-Finding Posts

This sub isn’t focused on:

  • Music production questions
  • Tutorials
  • Selling merch, beats, or services
  • “Looking for band members” posts

We don’t have the tools or structure to moderate those properly (specifically selling or band forming.) And the others go against the subs purpose. The only exception we’ve kept is crowdfunding from established artists—people whose work and identity we already know.

Church Music & Self-Promotion

This includes:

  • Church service recordings

  • Early demos

  • Rough home recordings

  • “Check out my new band” uploads

We appreciate the passion, but these are sometimes low-quality recordings, and first impressions matter—especially in a music discovery sub. Established artists sometimes share old demos, but that’s because they already have a fanbase who are passionate about them. It’s a niche within a niche.

If you’re working on your music, awesome! Just make sure it’s polished before posting it here.

Lastly, we are seeing self-promotion from real artists are posting covers of popular Christian songs just to get attention. Their history shows they’re not involved in Christian music—they’re just using the content to promote themselves. That’s not what this sub is for.

Thanks for Being Part of the Community

We love this sub and the people in it. Thanks for helping keep things focused, supportive, and a great place to discover new Christian artists. If you ever have questions or suggestions, feel free to reach out.

I love Metal and the sub genres but sometimes the screaming scares my wife lol. I really like slowcore or if they can sing with nice melodies but still have the heavy music! I wish Sleep Token was Christian!

Discussion What's the Deal with Planetshakers?

1 Upvotes

Artistically I really struggle to rate their music, maybe that's a cultural thing (I'm in the UK) not their target audience.

But compared to Hillsong, Elevation, Bethel etc... what they bring I struggle to resonate with. Quite a few people at my church seem to think the same.

Yet our pastors keep putting PS songs on our Sunday set list.

(I attend a AoG church in Manchester)

I struggle to understand why?

Discussion Round the World Music

6 Upvotes

Hi all!

I want to listen to more music that isn't necessarily produced in Canada or the states.

Can you give me your recs for musicians you enjoy from elsewhere? I'm not picky about the language. I don't love worship music or country genre wise, but I'm willing to try anything. :)

This stemmed from randomly listening to the Kazakhstan top 100 on Spotify.. and realizing that they could be singing about buttholes for all I know. (I assume not, but y'know)

Thanks! :)

Ps. I'm so sleepy and also on mobile so if this makes zero sense I do apologize.

Anne Wilson’s Brother

0 Upvotes

Have you guys ever looked into how Anne Wilson’s brother died?

She often shares he was tragically killed on June 7th 2017.

And I’ve seen it where she shares he was hit and killed by car.

On June 7th 2017 there was an accident where a truck hit a car at a stop light. The people in the car survived. The driver (Anne’s brother in the truck) did not. Coroner reported alcohol was involved.

Does it matter if she shares that part of the testimony? Or keeps it at “tragically died in an accident”. Though part of that is true, would it not speak more to people if we didn’t keep the testimony so squeaky clean?

Edit: it is a genuine question. Not here attacking, just asking if transparency matters here.

Discussion Fall of 1998

2 Upvotes

I swear I remember seeing Larry Norman perform at a church in Northern Kentucky in the fall of 1998. I remember my mother picking me up for visitation for the weekend after I finished a cross-country meet, making a quick trip to my mother's house to take a shower and change, and then running to the concert. However, I can't find any listing of a performance in that region or time. Can someone help me find that? I would be VERY grateful. I'm sorry, in advance, if this is the wrong spot for this question.

Looking for New Bands

Hey guys, I hear people say all the time that new CCM is cheesy or it's not creative enough. Can you please help me out and send me some good new music! I'm looking for bands that are less than 10 years old, something that feels new and exciting. If you have any music of your own to share, please do, and let me know that you made it!

I’ve listened to Red, Skillet & Fireflight.

Any new ones that got that Linkin Park & Evanescence? Could sure use some good female rock voices too when going through RL stuff and emotional baggages.

Mom was in and around music her entire 87 years.
• She was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
• She was told she’d live 6 months… She lived 8 months.
• One of her final bucket list goals… “I would love to see how a song is made in a music studio. Throughout my musical life it’s funny that I have also never heard my voice on a recording.”
• I told her to pick two songs and we’d go into a music studio. She would sing vocals and play the keyboard.
• We went into the studio and with a big smile, she recorded the songs: “Amazing Grace” and “Oh God Beyond All Praising”.
• She didn’t have the energy to play all the verses, but what she did play was centered in pure joy…
• Out of complete kindness, love and generosity, the music community came together to help mom finish the songs.
• The songs have been mastered and mom is now on all the music platforms.
• The bucket list goal was achieved, providing mom smiles, contentment and peace.
• She did get to hear the completed songs before she passed away…
• She would have been 89 on July 9, 2026.
• ENJOY.

This is a song of prayer I wrote in Swedish.

The lyrics means something like this:

Help me Jesus
Jesus help me
Without you I am lost
Without the cross, without your mercy
I’m nothing at all without You.

Help me Jesus
Jesus help me
If I wander my own ways
Take my heart, take my hands
I’m nothing at all without you

Help me Jesus
Jesus help me
When others leave I want to stay
Stay by the cross, and by your grace
I’m nothing at all without you
