To enter, e-mail your story to sayamen@daywind.com. Brian Free and Assurance and Daywind Music Group will select and announce the winner on Friday, April 18, 2014.

"Jesus Christ Superstar" 2014-04-08T12:18:52Z On June 9, 2014, Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's rock musical, Jesus Christ Superstar, will kick off its largest North American arena tour in its 40 year history. With a star-studded cast of names like Brandon Boyd (Incubus), JC Chasez (*NSYNC), Michelle Williams (Destiny's Child), John Lydon and Ben Forster, the music promises to be amazing. But what of the premise behind the musical? For years, many Christians would not go see a performance because a.) the writers look liberties with the events in the last week of Jesus' life and b.) the Resurrection is not included. What are your thoughts? Do you think it's OK to go see the musical because you know the difference between the Gospels and fiction or do you believe that turning the last week of our Lord's life into a musical is too much? Share your thoughts in the comments section below. Image courtesy of: The Really Useful Group. Used by permission.

Top Christian & Gospel Ringtones - April 2014 2014-04-07T13:10:35Z Ringtones are big business and a great way to hear snippets of your favorite songs anytime your phone rings. Of course, if you are extremely popular and your phone rings off of the hook, it can also be a great way to burn out on a song rather quickly!

You Can't Kill Rock 2014-03-27T11:27:15Z My husband is fond of saying, "You can't kill rock 'n roll" and over the years, he's been proven to be right. Top Christian rockers like Switchfoot and Sanctus Real represent the guys with Superchick and Natalie Grant representing the ladies of rock. On the harder side of things, Kristen May of Flyleaf and Sarah Anthony of The Letter Black belt out their love for the Lord and hold their own alongside their male counterparts like RED and Skillet. Bottom line - be they Christian rock bands, Christian hard rockers, or Christian metal bands, they all rock for The Rock and do so without apology! Image courtesy of: EMI. Used by permission.

The Styles of Christian Music 2014-03-25T14:36:29Z One of the best things about being a fan of Christian music is the fact that no matter what style of music you enjoy in the mainstream world, you can find it in the Christian world. From Jeremy Camp's rock and worship songs to MercyMe's pop songs to Ray Boltz's CCM songs to tobyMac's rap songs and beyond, there is a style of music for every fan to enjoy!

Top Christian Metal Bands 2014-03-24T13:35:25Z They scream, they growl, they share their faith using those tools, as well as distorted guitars and super-fast, double-bass drumming. Even if you don't really like hardcore metal, you can not deny that these bands are making a huge impact for the kingdom with our youth and you have to respect that fact.
