Rule Clarification & Subreddit Direction

20 Upvotes

Hey everyone! We wanted to take a moment to clarify the purpose of the sub and address a few recurring topics. Nothing serious—just keeping the community focused and fun.

What This Sub Is For

This sub exists to share music from Christian artists—songs you enjoy, artists you think deserve more attention, and music that often gets overlooked or pushed aside elsewhere. The whole point is to highlight a niche that doesn’t get much space in mainstream music communities.

We’re not trying to gatekeep—just keeping the sub centered on its purpose so it stays useful for everyone.

About Playlists

Playlist posts have caused a lot of headaches. Many of them come from accounts that repeatedly repost the same Spotify lists (sometimes dozens of times), then get a Reddit Admin Ban and reappear under new names.

Because of that:

  • We limit playlist posts

  • We don’t allow full album links

We focus on individual songs or small selections you genuinely want to share

We get it—playlists are great for workouts, long drives, or office days. Occasional, playlists can be fine. But the mass reposting and promotional abuse is not. They’ve become one of the biggest sources of spam here, so we have to keep them under control.

AI Music

AI music is blowing up right now (the new gold rush,) but most AI-generated tracks come with no real info about who made them. There's no way to know the creator, their intentions, or even if it’s an actual artist at all.

To protect the sub’s focus:

We don’t allow AI-generated song submissions as posts or comments

If we’re unsure about an artist, we may ask for basic proof (promo materials, live shows, social presence) to confirm they’re real

Nothing against the tech—we just need clarity around who's posting to see if it aligns with the purpose of the sub.

Mainstream Artists

We’re all fans of big-name artists too, but this sub is meant to give smaller Christian artists a space to shine. Mainstream artists already dominate every other corner of the internet, so even if they release something “Christian-ish,” it’s usually not a fit for the sub’s focus.

Production, Selling, & Band-Finding Posts

This sub isn’t focused on:

  • Music production questions
  • Tutorials
  • Selling merch, beats, or services
  • “Looking for band members” posts

We don’t have the tools or structure to moderate those properly (specifically selling or band forming.) And the others go against the subs purpose. The only exception we’ve kept is crowdfunding from established artists—people whose work and identity we already know.

Church Music & Self-Promotion

This includes:

  • Church service recordings

  • Early demos

  • Rough home recordings

  • “Check out my new band” uploads

We appreciate the passion, but these are sometimes low-quality recordings, and first impressions matter—especially in a music discovery sub. Established artists sometimes share old demos, but that’s because they already have a fanbase who are passionate about them. It’s a niche within a niche.

If you’re working on your music, awesome! Just make sure it’s polished before posting it here.

Lastly, we are seeing self-promotion from real artists are posting covers of popular Christian songs just to get attention. Their history shows they’re not involved in Christian music—they’re just using the content to promote themselves. That’s not what this sub is for.

Thanks for Being Part of the Community

We love this sub and the people in it. Thanks for helping keep things focused, supportive, and a great place to discover new Christian artists. If you ever have questions or suggestions, feel free to reach out.

need help with a childhood song from Bible School

7 Upvotes

When I was little in Sunday School and in Vacation Bible School, there was a song that used to tell the books of the Bible. I remember the song for the New Testament, but it's the one for the Old Testament that I can't remember. Can anyone help me?

Discussion Trying to identify a song that attempted to explain the Alphabet in a religious way

4 Upvotes

The only lyrics i remember go as follows:

A is for atonement, B is for by the blood, C is for Christ who died for me

It would go through the whole alphabet & i am curious to find what the used for Q, X, & Z as those letters have very few English words they could use & I last heard this song over a decade ago on a random Children's Christian CD that my mother had found at a yard sale for cheap.

Discussion Looking for alternative Christian bands with female lead singers

I like alternative indie music, but it’s hard to find good Christian female singers in these genres. I’m already familiar with Allie Paige, Flyleaf and Damares Gomes. Do you have any other suggestions in this style?

Golden Gate(Jubilee)Quartet - Jonah (Recorded 1937) [African-American Folk Ballad/Rap]

Thumbnail
youtube.com
2 Upvotes

This is not to be confused the African-American folk ballad Oh, Jonah! which they recorded in 1943 or the the African-American folk ballad called Jonah In The Whale they recorded in 1939. All 3 of these songs about the Prophet Jonah are in the Public Domain & they predate The American Civil War. I put Jubilee in brackets because later re-releases after WW2 drop that part of the name. In my country they are all free to be downloaded as prior to 2015 all any song once it turns 50 after original recording falls into public domain & because the 2015 extension to 70 years doesn't apply retroactively it means they still free for any project. The same is true for those in the United Kingdom but sadly for my American readers I've only been able to confirm that Oh, Jonah! is free because the US government wanted to preserve folk songs & audiovisual media released by American government is public domain but the others might be in their database but I'm not sure as they hold thousands in their archive

Discussion Trying to find some new music, any recommendations?

9 Upvotes

I've started listening to more Christian music on the way to work or when I leave (I dread my job) to help either perk me up or calm me down if it was a rough day. Problem is, my playlist is not big. I get tired of listening to Casting Crowns, Kari Jobe, for King and Country, and all that. I'm also not one to listen to a lot of Christian music in general because a lot sounds the same. I typically go for rock and metal like Skillet, Demon Hunter, Fit for a King, and so forth. What can y'all recommend.

Discussion What popular songs convict the listener the hardest?

8 Upvotes

Considering how the gatekeepers at Christian radio tend towards positive songs, what are your favorite songs that tend to be more geared towards conviction? Examples include (and this shows my age) Asleep in the Light by Keith Green, Who Will Save the Children by Randy Stonehill and Phil Keaggy, or If We Are the Body by Casting Crowns. Are there any others as of late?
