Marty Raybon

I had a chance to interview Marty a few years ago on Hymntime and his love for the Lord and commitment to Gospel Music is amazing. So make sure you're listening this Super Bowl Sunday as we present Marty's new single "I've Seen What He Can Do" from his upcoming CD "Hand to the Plow" only on WIN 98.5's Hymntime Country Style.

Top 10 Country Christian songs Posted January 31, 2012 by Jimmy C

Here's the top Ten Country Christian songs. Where did your favorite rank?

http://tasteofcountry.com/top-christian-songs/

Not surprising that Josh has two.

Here's a quote from Taste of Country. Do you agree?

"While not every successful country singer releases Christian songs, those who've ignored Christian values haven't gotten very far. Some, like Josh Turner and Randy Travis, are able to weave their faith into the music a little more comfortably than others. Country listeners know when a performance lacks sincerity, and more than a few songs have been written that were swatted away like a mosquito. When done right, nothing sticks to one's soul stronger than a song that inspires.

It wasn't easy, but we whittled down every country song written about God and Christian values to a list of 10 of our favorites. Our criteria included not only song quality and impact; radio success was also a factor. These 10 Christian songs can all be still heard on country radio stations across America today. Chances are one has caused you tear up. The Top 10 Christian Songs are capable of making us better human beings".

The Desert Hawks Posted September 29, 2011 by Jimmy C

This is the unit of a very good friend of mine from Battle Creek who lives in Tucson now. He graduated in 1978 from St. Phil and Proudly still serves with The United States Air Force. His unit is deploying to Afganistan in January (I know it's a little early) but we need to keep them and their families in our Prayers and it's never too early to start. Thank You Greg Nusbaum for all you do and tell your unit they are Loved in Battle Creek.
