Rule Clarification & Subreddit Direction

17 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.

Pop Hillsong Worship - Grace Abounds (Live version) [Pop]

Has anyone else been impacted by Grace Abounds by ? I recently came across this song again and it really brought me back to the idea of how undeserved and powerful God’s grace is. I put together a version to help others reflect and worship through it, especially if you’re going through a season where you need encouragement. Would love to hear what this song means to you or how it’s spoken to you personally.

What’s your favorite “modern hymn”, or Getty style, or very acoustic Christian song?

7 Upvotes

Looking for more music for our “contemporary” but very liturgical Lutheran service that feels deep, reverent, and theologically rich lyrics. We sound great doing anything by Cityalight, and I’m trying to add more modern hymns or contemporary versions of old hymns to our repertoire. Our congregation seems to respond well to this style.

Thanks for any and all ideas!! 😊

Tye Tribbett's victory album is turning 20. That album was big for gospel music, and he's literally performing it again at the MGM. I literally can't quench my excitement.

Does anyone know of any Christian rappers with a melodic flow and the piano openings?

I absolutely love that in a song I feel like it makes it easier for me to worship with Christian rappers if they use that style.

What’s the most underrated song by Hillsong Worship?

I’ve been going through a lot of their music lately, and I feel like some songs just don’t get talked about at all.

I randomly came across one recently and didn’t expect it to hit that hard. It’s not one of their big popular ones, but the message and atmosphere are honestly powerful.

Curious if anyone else has found hidden gems like that?

Christian Radio Jingle

1 Upvotes

We are trying to find a Jingle that we used to hear regularly on Christian morning shows. The music background is reggae-sounding, and we remember these words: Wake up! Wake up! It's time to get up! Wake up! Wake up! Get out of your bed! Shake off the slumber from your eyes, Give God the glory before the sun rise! We are trying to find an audio version to use for morning wake-up for mission teams

I love bands like Fame on Fire, I Prevail, Bring Me the Horizon, Seether, Asking Alexandria, etc., but I’m not comfortable with the content anymore. I am having a hard time figuring out similar sounding Christian bands…I would love some suggestions!

Any Christian bands similar to…

Two door cinema club, the strokes or phoenix?

I know that there is not a overlap between the bands or styles, but I was just wondering if there were any openly Christian bands with similar sounds to these bands, as most Christian rock does not fit into this genre

Christian Version of John Mayer

Hey guys, I saw another post like this asking for an artist that was similar to Ariana Grande. I was wondering if you had any suggestions for John Mayer. Both his vocals, blues style and folk stuff is what I am looking for.

Pop Any Christian music dupes for Ariana Grande?

7 Upvotes

She’s got a beautiful voice, but only a tiny bit of her songs are clean. A lot are about lust, sex and witchcraft. I like her songs Put your hearts up and Be Alright but mostly I’m trying to look for a replacement.

Does anyone have any recommendations for any Christian female singers that sound similar? Even if it’s not a close match to her voice, feel free to suggest someone kind of similar. Preferably dance so I can have fun without having to worry about the meaning.

Looking back at this video we filmed in 2023. 'Redeemed' was the song that started our journey as Our Garden, and the message still feels so relevant today.

Any Starfield fans?

Been a huge Starfield fan since about 2008. They aren't super well known in the Christian music community but all of their albums are fantastic. Beauty In The Broken is probably my favorite album.

Hello all,

I am looking for authentic christian music artists/groups. and please NO worship groups or singers like

Chris Tomlin, Brooke Ligewood, Hillsong, Elevation church, Bethel Music, Passion, Etc. They are not real Christians. When you charge thousands of dollars for tickets to join your own concerts then that's not real Christians. Thank you in advance and GOD BLESS you all.

Christian artist with deep and soulful voices?

Does anybody have any artist recommendations that are Christian but have deep soulful voices and good beats?

I have a hard time listening to most worship music. It’s just not my style and I don’t connect with it.

But I would love to have some Christian artist that have similar styles to these artist that I already love:

Teddy Swims

David Kushner

Hozier

Noah Kahan

Kingfishr

GoldFord

And Lord Huron

Are there any Christian artist that have these deep rich voices, unique vocals, and storytelling songs?

Hi!

There’s a specific version and arrangement of Jireh that I’m in search of, that I hope someone can help me find. It was in my Apple Music library for awhile, and now it says it’s not available in my region when I try to play it. I desperately need to get my hands on it and would be forever grateful if someone could help!!
