The frontman of the band Tenth Avenue North, Mike Donehey, is sharing his thoughts on the Christian music scene since the controversy engulfing Michael Tait, former lead singer of the Newsboys, came out. 

"I want to say this about the state of the CCM industry," says Donehey on Instagram. "I've been in the CCM industry since 2007, when my band got signed, and I've seen a lot of good and some not-so-good."

Donahey has more recently released music as a solo artist; however, he is still in Tenth Avenue North. 

Canada's elections commissioner said Wednesday she has no evidence to suggest the federal election result in April was affected by foreign interference, disinformation or voter intimidation — even though the volume of complaints about the campaign shot way up.

In a preliminary report, Commissioner Caroline Simard said her office received more than 16,000 complaints about the spring campaign that ended on April 28 — seven times the number of complaints received in the 2019 and 2021 elections.

Psalm 143:10

When Christ becomes our central focus—our reason for existence—contentment replaces our anxiety as well as our fears and insecurities.

This cannot help but impact three of the most prevalent joy-stealers in all of life.

1. He broadens the dimensions of our circumstances. This gives us new confidence...

2. He delivers us from preoccupation with others. This causes our contentment level to rise...

3. He calms our fears regarding ourselves and our future. This provides a burst of fresh hope on a daily basis.
