The God and Gigs Show

Gospel vs. CCM? What Faithful Church Musicians Really Think (Top 10 Episode)

Allen C. Paul - Musician | Creative Coach | Author of "God and Gigs" & "Your Art, God's Heart" Episode 346

Few topics spark more passion (and opinion) than the discussion over Gospel versus Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) in our churches.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to pick a side, or wrestled with how to faithfully serve God, your congregation, and your artistry in a culture full of musical "either/ors," you’re not alone. 

That's why we're revisiting a powerful and timely conversation with music minister  Levell Hawkins on The God and Gigs Show. This discussion isn’t just about genres—it’s about embracing a spiritual, creative, and professional mindset that transcends the “worship wars,” helps you build a lasting career, and unites your creative calling with God’s greater purpose.
