Glimpses of God Glimpses of God

In recent years, we've noticed an increased interest in spiritual themes in today's popular music outside the Christian subculture. We refer to these faith-inspired examples as Glimpses of God. Some of them are by Christian artists working in the mainstream music industry. Others are nonbelievers who are clearly soul searching. Regardless, these challenging examples give the listener something to think about—and an open door to discussing matters of faith with non-Christians.


New Glimpses:

Mary J. Blige
Rissi Palmer
Rissi Palmer
The 26-year-old rising star stands out not only as the rare African American in country music, but also for her willingness to be open about her faith.

Mary J. Blige
Mary J. Blige
Growing Pains
As the title of her latest album suggests, the popular urban/soul singer is gradually leaving her tumultuous past behind in favor of expressing the faith that has carried her through her many trials.

Iron & Wine
Iron & Wine
The Shepherd's Dog
The acclaimed indie folk artist and self-proclaimed agnostic uses Biblical references and a wide-angle lens to survey a society in need of stability.

Michael McDermott
Michael McDermott
Noise From Words
The troubadour's latest project is a musical testimony of his continual struggles with temptation and the faith that sustains him through dark times.

Hanson
Hanson
The Walk
Ten years since their sensational hit single "MMMBop," the brothers Hanson are today making the music they want to make and living their faith by raising awareness for those in need.


Do you have a current "Glimpse of God," an example of perceived spirituality in popular music? Drop us an e-mail with your suggestion, and we'll consider it for future editions.
