Worship artist Chris Tomlin has revived ancient words, transforming 1,800-year-old hymnal texts into a powerful new song.

The lyric and musical notations, found in Egypt, have become known as "The First Hymn." Archaeologists found this artifact in 1918, calling it "P.Oxy 1786." It contained 35 words offering praise to God. 

From the moment that Ryan Anzo stepped on stage for a Christmas recital in elementary school, he was hooked on music and is now using his talent to bring glory to God. 

"I did everything I could do from music theatre to choir and then from that I started to branch into doing solo stuff and even joining a boy band," Anzo said.

"And then from there, when I got saved, I just wanted to make music for God and now I think God has opened the doors for me and I've been growing in my relationship with Him. It's been a blessing, honestly."

A Christian author and dad to 10 children is offering funny and heartwarming insights to raising children in his newest book. 

"This is my brand new book called Yes Dear, I'm Watching Them," says author Jason Weening. "It's a joke for many dads who've probably said that exact phrase, as the kids are hammering nails into their fingers, or falling out of trees, or building bike ramps over the garage." 

Weening lives in Estevan, SK, with his wife and their 10 children between the ages of one and 19.

A young American missionary has allegedly been taken hostage after being abducted at gunpoint during a church service last Thursday.

Josh Sullivan, 34, and his family were working at a church in Motherwell in South Africa when it's alleged six armed men entered the church and kidnapped the pastor. 

"My heart is breaking, please continue to pray for my son, daughter-in-law, grandkids and our family," said Josh's mother, Tonya Rinker. "They found his van abandoned, but Joshua was kidnapped. I know he’s doing God’s work, and I also know he wouldn’t change that."

Corey Lueck has been in music for as long as he can remember and now has a new song out, "Not Finished With Me."

"My dad played the saxophone, my brother plays guitar and bass and my sister plays piano. I actually started as a drummer," Lueck said. "I also loved singing."

Lueck's love for music led Corey and his brother to start a rock band. "At this time, I really was not a Christian. I always believed in God, but I grew up Catholic and I didn't take it seriously."

A year after his death, tributes continue to pour in for TobyMac Diverse City member Gabe Patillo.

Patillo, a multi-talented man who, by age ten, was dancing onstage alongside DC Talk, passed away following a battle with pancreatic cancer in April 2024.

"That was amazing," said Carrie Underwood. "We joined you in your beautiful moment. That beautiful, big voice just overtook everybody. So much power. So much heart behind it."
