Here are 5 new Christian artists you should follow on Instagram if you want your feed to be filled with hope and joy.

Cade is the king of Instagram reels. Like this one for example.

5) Anne Wilson

We know what you’re thinking, and no, Anne Wilson is not Baylor Wilson’s sister. Although, we would love a collab between the two of them ASAP.

Anne Wilson landed a record deal after a beautiful and emotional video of her singing at her brother’s funeral went viral.

“Death isn’t final when you know the Lord. It’s only the beginning of what you were always created for and designed for. It’s the gateway to life everlasting. So for the ones that resonate with this today, remember that our hope is in The Lord, the Maker of Heaven and Earth. He has a plan in the tears, the hurt, and everything in between. He exchanges ashes for abundant beauty. Praying for those that are walking through loss today. You are loved.”
