Unless you're brand new to the music business or completely naive or both, you probably know that you have to pay for play if you want air time for your hard creative efforts. If you don't want anyone outside your immediate circle of friends in real life or on social media to hear your sound, then stop reading now and maybe check out some past posts or music listed on this site in the right hand column.
This will probably surprise most people who never read their Bibles, but Jesus talked a lot about money and more about hell than He did the Kingdom of God. Reasons for his doing so make a nice topic of debate for scholars and talkative folks but the reality of the situation is not changed--these subjects are front and center in His messages for whatever reason or use.

My point is (if you care or not) that this blog will no longer offer free features and promoting to indie Christian musicians. By the grace of God, I have reached 10,000 site visits in two months (that's roughly 333 hits per day for the math challenged) and I can't afford to keep begging people to provide more content which I have to format and promote and spend money on platforms in order to do so. I wish I could but I just can't since I am not independently wealthy (take note scammers). If you somehow managed to get into my bank account, you would probably feel sorry for me and add money!
So the journey continues but on a different, more practical and less idealistic note. I am not a 501c3 non profit organization so I can't ask for donations and who would give them anyhow? I'm just a guy who loves the Lord, loves making music that praises Him and enjoys hearing from others who are the same. But when I get up out of bed in the morning, the dreams stop and the reality begins. We are still here in a material world and, even though I like to fish, I hardly think I will find coins in the mouth of what I catch so I keep pressing on until mammon is no longer necessary or relevant in the coming Kingdom bright. In the meantime, check out my fiverr gig profile if you want a feature on this blog plus added effects or just go in peace.
