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. Recently, I revisited a powerful and timely conversation with music minister and thinker Lavelle 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.
