  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A night of powerful faith and music: Brandon Lake dominates the K-Love Fan Awards with four wins, including Song of the Year with Jelly Roll, whose redemption story left the audience in tears.
Brandon Lake and country artist Jelly Roll won for Song of the Year, while Leanna Crawford, CeCe Winans, and For King & Country also took home honors during the 2025 K-Love Fan Awards in Nashville, Tenn., broadcast on TBN Friday.

Lake and Jelly Roll won for their collaboration song Hard Fought Hallelujah, a hit that has enjoyed crossover success on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Crawford's Still Waters (Psalm 23) won Breakout Song of the Year, while Winans and For King & Country received wins for Female Artist of the Year and Group of the Year, respectively.

Lake had the biggest night, winning four awards: Song of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, Artist of the Year, and Worship Song of the Year (That's Who I Praise).

Jeremy Camp, Bart Millard, Mac Powell, and Matthew West hosted the show, which is in its 12th year.

Lake said Jelly Roll was already a fan of Hard Fought Hallelujah -- originally released as a solo single -- before he was invited to collaborate on it.

"He was like, 'I've been praying for a song like this,'" Lake said as he accepted the award for Song of the Year. "And then fast forward, we start leading this song together, and he starts saying things like, 'Man, I am a man of faith, but I've never had a song and a person, like, just give me permission to be so much more honest about my faith.'"
Jelly Roll, who is on tour, addressed the audience via video.
"Man, what a beautiful story -- man, from a jail cell to a K-Love Award, that is something only God can do himself," Jelly Roll said, referencing his past. "Brandon, thank you for letting me be a part of this record. Thank you to the fans for voting. Thank you for K-Love for taking a chance on this record and adding my version, and just championing it. I don't take this lightly at all."
