Best known as a songwriter for other artists, Regie Hamm's credits include "American Idol" alum David Cook, CCM veteran Clay Crosse, and southern gospel's Gaither Vocal Band. After more than a decade and a half behind the scenes, Hamm makes his solo debut with an instantly engaging piano pop repertoire destined for Christian radio. Though sometimes overly commercial and a little 1990s leaning at times, Hamm's lyrics are his greatest asset, ranging from the roller coaster of his musical dreams, to adopting a girl with severe medical problems (and that situation's stresses), followed by unconditional surrender.
While we pray for peace, we need moral clarity about this war.
As my doubts about his teachings grew, so did a secret fascination with Jesus.
We must always be people of the Word, but we’ll have to reimagine deep engagement with Scripture.
