It’s that time of year again, the Grammy nominees are out.

If you’re anything like me, then you love a good awards show. Between the performances, candid close up shots of artists and getting to see all of the diversity within the music industry- it’s always eventful.

And while the Grammy’s don’t just highlight Christian artists like the Dove Awards, it is still an amazing opportunity for artists to be given a bigger platform that could expose new audiences to Jesus through their amazing music.
