I've hosted before, but not with four dudes like this. so.
00:03:27.073 --> 00:03:32.145

There's going to be dance in the background.
00:03:35.882 --> 00:03:37.650

Yeah.
00:03:45.325 --> 00:03:45.558

00:04:09.616 --> 00:04:14.821
That's awesome.
00:04:15.488 --> 00:04:16.155
Reading all the lines. 629.
00:04:16.155 --> 00:04:18.925
That was perfect on the top.
00:04:18.925 --> 00:04:21.928
Most importantly, you the fan.
00:04:22.095 --> 00:04:24.931
Oh, wait, let's do it together.
00:04:24.931 --> 00:04:26.432
As importantly, you, the fans.
00:04:26.432 --> 00:04:29.002
And you take 63.
00:04:29.002 --> 00:04:31.170
So it's good.
00:04:31.170 --> 00:04:34.140
All right.
00:04:35.174 --> 00:04:35.942
For you for an extra $500.
00:04:35.942 --> 00:04:39.212
You can have a private dinner.
00:04:39.712 --> 00:04:41.714
We'll see you there.
00:04:41.714 --> 00:04:44.417
At this point, caleb still believe it's a good idea.
00:04:44.417 --> 00:04:47.253
Let's put it that way.
00:04:47.253 --> 00:04:48.087
I wanted to get.
00:04:48.087 --> 00:04:48.821
Right. now, i'm a little curious that.
00:04:48.821 --> 00:04:50.189
Who's getting fired because of this decision?
00:04:50.189 --> 00:04:52.625
Yeah. not us. so he goes, oh, you're so.
00:04:52.625 --> 00:04:55.028
And now we know who got paid.
00:04:55.028 --> 00:04:56.029
He's the max like max.
00:04:56.029 --> 00:04:58.798
I think max still upset because he thought
00:04:58.798 --> 00:05:00.700
That it was supposed to be toby mac and accidentally got mac powell. yes.
00:05:00.700 --> 00:05:04.103
So he still thinks he's not supposed to.
00:05:04.137 --> 00:05:05.238
He feels like he's the odd man out.
00:05:05.238 --> 00:05:06.673
Yeah, i feel like they they meant to send the email to toby
00:05:06.673 --> 00:05:09.676
Mac and some intern messed up, and now i'm here and it's too.
00:05:09.676 --> 00:05:13.946
Then they feel awkward and they can't, you know, chill. so
00:05:13.980 --> 00:05:17.150
How are y'all really go
00:05:18.451 --> 00:05:19.585
To this is going to be the longest award show.
00:05:19.585 --> 00:05:22.588
Yeah, we're planning on a six hour.
00:05:22.588 --> 00:05:24.457
I told, the team at tba to be prepared for a six hour broadcast.
00:05:24.457 --> 00:05:28.561
Yeah, because we're not going to we're not going to get anything at all.
00:05:28.761 --> 00:05:32.432
But he does the four hour show. now you got three more.
00:05:32.432 --> 00:05:34.834
Yeah, yeah.
00:05:34.834 --> 00:05:35.935
Come to bring us another one from the lord, my pal.
00:05:35.935 --> 00:05:39.906
Go ahead.
00:05:39.972 --> 00:05:42.175
And i thought i knew what i was talking about.
00:05:42.175 --> 00:05:45.478
From gritty southern roots to gospel field stages, grammy
00:05:45.511 --> 00:05:49.582
Winning artist mac powell has always brought more than music.
00:05:49.582 --> 00:05:53.086
He's brought up soul story and a whole lot of heart
00:05:53.419 --> 00:05:57.457
As the iconic voice of third day, and now as a solo artist,
00:05:58.358 --> 00:06:02.595
Mac powell has been a trusted voice in christian music for over two decades
00:06:02.795 --> 00:06:07.934
And a beloved presence at the k-love fan awards site.
00:06:08.401 --> 00:06:12.872

00:06:12.972 --> 00:06:16.409
Whether leading worship or rocking the house, mac brings
00:06:16.743 --> 00:06:20.246
An authenticity that resonates, reminding us that faith doesn't
00:06:20.246 --> 00:06:24.384
Just live in the spotlight, but in everyday moments of grace.
00:06:24.384 --> 00:06:27.887
Amen.
00:06:28.187 --> 00:06:29.288
And this year, he's not just taking the stage to sing,
00:06:29.288 --> 00:06:32.291
He's taking the mic as one of your host for the 2025 k-love fan awards.
00:06:32.492 --> 00:06:38.064
With all four of us on stage, you can count on a night
00:06:38.197 --> 00:06:40.066
Full of music, laughter, and a lot of chaos.
00:06:40.066 --> 00:06:43.236
A lot of it's going to be organized chaos.
00:06:43.236 --> 00:06:46.038
Jeremy, because we are professionals for the most part.
00:06:46.038 --> 00:06:49.142
And don't worry, i'll keep the southern rock vibes stick.
00:06:49.142 --> 00:06:51.944
Nice blessings out of the south today.
00:06:51.944 --> 00:06:56.249
When i got the call
00:06:56.649 --> 00:06:58.050

00:06:58.050 --> 00:07:01.954

I've been there in the past, see all the great performances.
00:07:03.055 --> 00:07:05.591
It was so sweet.
00:07:05.591 --> 00:07:06.325
They sent me flowers which i don't get.
00:07:06.325 --> 00:07:08.828
Flowers sent to me very much so. that was cool.
00:07:08.828 --> 00:07:11.697

And they sent me on a spa day.
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:21.507

00:07:21.507 --> 00:07:24.444
Okay.
00:07:24.444 --> 00:07:24.877
Yeah.
00:07:25.912 --> 00:07:26.312
The doorbell rang.

And that was the best invite ever.
00:07:38.958 --> 00:07:40.626
And then streamer shout out of the box is really where it is.
00:07:40.626 --> 00:07:42.895
Maybe it's how do you say no to that?
00:07:42.895 --> 00:07:45.898
I just got a text message.
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:50.803

00:09:19.659 --> 00:09:20.793
Yes, i've gotten to do this for a long time in different capacities.
00:09:20.793 --> 00:09:24.830
Seven different i think at least.
00:09:24.897 --> 00:09:27.600
And, i've had different hosts and co-hosts and, this by far,
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:32.838
No offense to any of the previous hosts that i've had with me, but like me
00:09:32.838 --> 00:09:36.142
Teaming up with these guys, it's why i can't like,
00:09:36.242 --> 00:09:39.211
I feel like everything i'm going to start to say,
00:09:39.245 --> 00:09:40.613
I start laughing because they make me laugh. so.
00:09:40.613 --> 00:09:42.682
Oh, oh, easy big fella.
00:09:42.682 --> 00:09:45.217
Let's not overdo it.
00:09:45.217 --> 00:09:46.586
So one more time. he's big.
00:09:46.586 --> 00:09:48.688
Oh! whoa, nelly.
00:09:48.688 --> 00:09:50.823
Silo your horse down. barn.
00:09:50.823 --> 00:09:52.858
Here's the care.
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:55.661
And it's a special night.
00:09:55.661 --> 00:09:56.829
The fan awards is an incredible experience.
00:09:56.829 --> 00:09:59.799
People coming from all around the country and gathering together
00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:03.736
At a historic venue.
00:10:03.736 --> 00:10:06.739
It's not just laughter, but it's like it's a powerful night of we're laughing,
00:10:06.772 --> 00:10:10.776
We're worshiping, we're celebrating what god's done through christ centered music.
00:10:10.776 --> 00:10:14.880
So we got a big guy who traveled all around the world.
00:10:14.880 --> 00:10:20.453
It's only been a dream because he's a big god.
00:10:20.453 --> 00:10:23.823
Ain't nobody gonna shake my faith.
00:10:24.156 --> 00:10:27.059
No, i'm not afraid of my hands up in praise of the times
00:10:27.059 --> 00:10:30.830
That he brought me through.
00:10:30.830 --> 00:10:32.365
I'm counting on.
00:10:32.365 --> 00:10:33.132
I thank god in the case, he's a bad guy.
00:10:33.132 --> 00:10:37.970
One of the best vocal performances at a live event that i've ever heard before.
00:10:38.804 --> 00:10:42.908
Was bart singing, even if.
00:10:42.908 --> 00:10:45.211
Seriously, you stood there and just.
00:10:45.211 --> 00:10:47.613
I know here it was.
00:10:47.613 --> 00:10:49.815
Goosebumps. okay, ready? one.
00:10:49.815 --> 00:10:52.184
Two. three.
00:10:52.184 --> 00:10:53.219
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome mercy me.
00:10:53.219 --> 00:10:57.023
I know you what?
00:11:01.961 --> 00:11:04.196
I know you can say i know.
00:11:04.196 --> 00:11:08.401
And in you're mighty heard.
00:11:08.401 --> 00:11:10.503
But even if you don't.
00:11:10.503 --> 00:11:13.572
My homie.
00:11:14.607 --> 00:11:17.610
Oh, i know the song
00:11:18.110 --> 00:11:21.113
I know the line would all go away if you just say the word.
00:11:21.647 --> 00:11:27.787
But even if you don't.
00:11:27.787 --> 00:11:30.790
My homie
00:11:32.024 --> 00:11:34.293
1000.
00:11:34.293 --> 00:11:41.801
Oh right oh.
00:11:44.670 --> 00:11:50.342
It is way.
00:11:53.312 --> 00:11:56.315
With my soul.
00:11:57.717 --> 00:12:00.720
It is well, it is well.
00:12:01.987 --> 00:12:06.659
With my soul up.
00:12:06.692 --> 00:12:10.930
Bart millard has led the charge in christian music.
00:12:13.699 --> 00:12:16.502
As the unmistakable voice of mercy me, delivering songs
00:12:16.502 --> 00:12:20.439
That have moved millions and defined a generation of worship.
00:12:20.439 --> 00:12:23.943
Since the earliest days
00:12:26.312 --> 00:12:27.646
Of the k-love fan awards, bart has been more than a performer.
00:12:27.646 --> 00:12:30.916
He's been a pillar of the community,
00:12:30.916 --> 00:12:33.152
Bringing honesty, humor, and a heart rooted in grace.
00:12:33.152 --> 00:12:37.123
What would you like to take a selfie with hershey?
00:12:37.123 --> 00:12:39.058
Me if we come shake off, we go from deeply personal ballads
00:12:39.058 --> 00:12:42.962
To anthems that lift us high and the winner, bart's
00:12:42.962 --> 00:12:46.332
Journey reminds us that god uses brokenness for beauty
00:12:46.332 --> 00:12:49.802
And that music can heal, restore and unite.
00:12:50.202 --> 00:12:54.240
And this year, he's
00:12:54.573 --> 00:12:55.674
Not just sharing the spotlight, he's helping lead the entire show.
00:12:55.674 --> 00:12:59.578
As one of your hosts for the 2025 k-love fan awards.
00:12:59.578 --> 00:13:03.449
I'm excited
00:13:04.550 --> 00:13:05.451
Because i think everybody is anticipating, what is this really going to be like?
00:13:05.451 --> 00:13:10.656
You know, all of the years that you have combined,
00:13:11.157 --> 00:13:14.994
Traveled together, done tours together, you know each other,
00:13:15.361 --> 00:13:19.331
And now you are hosting and hosting this award show about what,
00:13:19.331 --> 00:13:22.835
The music is all about.
00:13:24.236 --> 00:13:25.371
And plus, it's a fan.
00:13:25.371 --> 00:13:26.772
It's a fan based award show.
00:13:26.772 --> 00:13:28.808
These are the people that
00:13:28.808 --> 00:13:31.410
Love you and have been there for
00:13:31.410 --> 00:13:34.079
You and watched from the beginning some of the songs.
00:13:34.079 --> 00:13:37.283
Our next performer, in a little over a decade, has had 25 number
00:13:37.817 --> 00:13:42.888
One songs i want to welcome to the stage is grand ole opry stage.
00:13:42.888 --> 00:13:46.592
Jeremy cam
00:13:46.926 --> 00:13:48.994
Wayne and the reason the song i don't hold onto me.
00:13:48.994 --> 00:13:53.165
I think it's it's really, really neat to see all this coming to pass now.
00:13:54.133 --> 00:13:57.436
It is going to be full. yeah. what's gonna make sense to you?
00:13:57.436 --> 00:13:59.371
I think a little bit of is this it's a give back.
00:13:59.371 --> 00:14:01.240
We're able to give back to people
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:03.175
Who have been listen to our music for a long time and actually see them face
00:14:03.175 --> 00:14:06.212
To face and, you know.
00:14:06.212 --> 00:14:09.682
Because a
00:14:12.551 --> 00:14:12.751
Lot of times through radio, it's just a you're just listening.
00:14:12.751 --> 00:14:16.555
You're not seeing any visuals.
00:14:16.555 --> 00:14:17.790
And so when you actually going to see the people who have been listening
00:14:17.790 --> 00:14:19.959
To music and telling stories about what god has done, it is really encouraging.
00:14:19.959 --> 00:14:23.596
So i love that part.
00:14:23.596 --> 00:14:24.363
Yeah, i love you up.
00:14:24.363 --> 00:14:27.366
Since his first performance at the kayla fan awards
00:14:27.867 --> 00:14:30.703
In 2014 with my god,
00:14:30.703 --> 00:14:33.706
Jeremy camp has continued to move hearts and souls with every note.
00:14:33.772 --> 00:14:38.043
Please welcome jeremy kim.
00:14:39.311 --> 00:14:42.314
I'm in the right place at the right time.
00:14:43.983 --> 00:14:47.052
God called me with songs
00:14:47.052 --> 00:14:50.723
That speak to the soul and a testimony that inspires millions.
00:14:50.723 --> 00:14:54.326
Jeremy's journey is now deeply woven into the fabric of the k-love family.
00:14:54.593 --> 00:14:58.964
He's been a steady reminder of why we gather each year
00:15:00.332 --> 00:15:03.402
To lift the name of jesus through the voices we love.
00:15:03.402 --> 00:15:06.605
The caleb fan awards are more than music.
00:15:08.173 --> 00:15:10.643
It's a ministry, a legacy.
00:15:10.643 --> 00:15:13.045
And this year, jeremy camp helps to continue that legacy in a brand new way
00:15:13.045 --> 00:15:17.783
By taking the stage for the first time as one of your caleb fan awards hosts.
00:15:18.017 --> 00:15:23.322
This.
00:15:23.656 --> 00:15:26.659
Is days.
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:30.562
There's some great moments that took place, some fun times,
00:15:30.763 --> 00:15:34.366
But also some very moving, serious moments as well.
00:15:34.533 --> 00:15:39.171
I don't know what year it was,
00:15:39.505 --> 00:15:40.940
But was it last year or the year before when you brought the
00:15:40.940 --> 00:15:43.943
Are you talking about broken?
00:15:44.476 --> 00:15:45.477
Yes. yeah.
00:15:45.477 --> 00:15:46.111
Yes. unbelievable. yeah.
00:15:46.111 --> 00:15:47.046
That was i'm not one to normally cry at an awards show and,
00:15:47.046 --> 00:15:51.317
And probably and even come in like i, you know,
00:15:51.784 --> 00:15:54.787
And that one, that one and put me in seat pretty quick.
00:15:54.987 --> 00:15:58.590
It was pretty amazing. yeah. let's set this up.
00:15:58.590 --> 00:16:01.293
This is something we didn't plan on. no, it's not at all.
00:16:01.293 --> 00:16:03.762
And you know, you were just talking about
00:16:03.762 --> 00:16:05.297
Everyone's story not being done yet.
00:16:06.265 --> 00:16:09.268
Yeah, it's not over yet.
00:16:09.268 --> 00:16:10.436
This weekend we were blessed with the chance
00:16:10.436 --> 00:16:13.339
To meet a very special young girl. yeah.
00:16:13.339 --> 00:16:16.342
Her name is brooke.
00:16:16.408 --> 00:16:17.376
And, both of us.
00:16:17.376 --> 00:16:20.312
Both of us met her at different times throughout the weekend.
00:16:20.312 --> 00:16:22.781
Brooke was at one of my concerts a year ago.
00:16:22.781 --> 00:16:25.617
And we decided to create a new host award tonight.
00:16:25.617 --> 00:16:29.021
And, we've called this the prettiest girl in the room award.
00:16:29.355 --> 00:16:32.725
And so we want you
00:16:32.891 --> 00:16:33.726
To welcome our friend brooke, and we want her to come up to the stage.
00:16:33.726 --> 00:16:37.062
Brooke, would you come on up here and see us, sweetheart?
00:16:37.496 --> 00:16:40.499
Have you anybody.
00:16:42.001 --> 00:16:44.670
Come on over here.
00:16:44.670 --> 00:16:45.404
Okay, let me do it.
00:16:45.404 --> 00:16:48.407
You look beautiful.
00:16:48.574 --> 00:16:51.577
You look the prettiest girl in the room.
00:16:52.311 --> 00:16:54.513
Don't you agree?
00:16:54.513 --> 00:16:55.381
Look at all these people loving on you.
00:17:00.152 --> 00:17:02.221
And i love so much that our great god right now knows your name,
00:17:02.221 --> 00:17:05.791
Knows exactly who you are, and is holding
00:17:06.258 --> 00:17:08.994
You like he's holding all of us as we hold you tonight in our arms.
00:17:08.994 --> 00:17:11.997
We absolutely love you.
00:17:11.997 --> 00:17:13.866
You have all of our prayers and i would love to know right now from you
00:17:13.866 --> 00:17:17.136
As we go.
00:17:17.136 --> 00:17:17.503
What has been your favorite part so far of the k-love awards?
00:17:17.503 --> 00:17:21.273
All of it.
00:17:21.974 --> 00:17:24.977
Oh, so it's safe to say that you had a fun weekend.
00:17:26.011 --> 00:17:31.283
Yeah.
00:17:31.350 --> 00:17:31.950
No. brooke, when they landed in nashville from new jersey,
00:17:31.950 --> 00:17:36.155
She and her mom, her mom, who, by the way, takes care of brooke all by herself.
00:17:36.155 --> 00:17:40.325
This is a picture of strength like i've never seen before.
00:17:40.793 --> 00:17:43.629
They landed in nashville, and brooke was very sick.
00:17:43.629 --> 00:17:46.398
Her fight with cancer has gotten harder and harder and harder.
00:17:46.398 --> 00:17:49.568
They spent the entire day at the vanderbilt hospital in nashville,
00:17:49.835 --> 00:17:53.372
But she would not let that stop her from being here tonight.
00:17:53.739 --> 00:17:56.742
And so she is here and she's a true picture of strength.
00:17:57.209 --> 00:18:00.345
Amen, amen, amen,
00:18:00.345 --> 00:18:02.414
Amen right here and now.
00:18:03.715 --> 00:18:06.919
We're going to just pray for our friend brooke, okay?
00:18:07.753 --> 00:18:09.755
We're going to do that right now.
00:18:09.755 --> 00:18:10.722
If you feel comfortable, you just reach out a hand towards our friend.
00:18:10.722 --> 00:18:13.725
We know the lord gives us strength beyond our own.
00:18:15.861 --> 00:18:18.864
And if brooke can make it through this, we know that we can make it through
00:18:19.531 --> 00:18:22.401
Whatever mountains stand in our way. so we're going to pray for brooke.
00:18:22.401 --> 00:18:24.770
Lord, we love you.
00:18:24.770 --> 00:18:25.604
We thank you for this beautiful girl, this beautiful girl.
00:18:25.604 --> 00:18:28.874
Cancer may have stolen her hair, but it could not touch her smile.
00:18:29.174 --> 00:18:32.811
It could not touch her heart.
00:18:33.011 --> 00:18:34.613
And tonight she's just inspired a whole room full of people and thousands
00:18:34.613 --> 00:18:39.017
Of people listening on the radio to remember that they can make it through.
00:18:39.017 --> 00:18:42.821
Not on her own strength, but through the strength that you give us.
00:18:43.021 --> 00:18:45.958
Lord, we pray that you will just wrap your arms so tightly around brooke
00:18:45.958 --> 00:18:49.261
And her mom every single day, morning, noon and night that they will never doubt
00:18:49.428 --> 00:18:53.966
Your presence, your power, your love for them and your strength.
00:18:53.966 --> 00:18:57.970
And we thank you, jesus, for the prettiest girl in the room tonight.
00:18:57.970 --> 00:19:01.073
And everyone said amen, amen.
00:19:01.073 --> 00:19:03.609
Please get cancer.
00:19:03.609 --> 00:19:06.211
She was well enough to come to the fan awards and for us to, like,
00:19:06.211 --> 00:19:10.382
Turn the focus outward and like a whole crowd
00:19:10.382 --> 00:19:14.019
Focusing in on this sweet girl who's now gone home to be with jesus.
00:19:14.019 --> 00:19:17.823
But like, we got to have this really special moment just honoring her.
00:19:17.823 --> 00:19:21.793
And it put a face to like the reality of, like, everybody
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:25.430
On the other side of the radio.
00:19:25.664 --> 00:19:28.033
Everybody's going through their battles.
00:19:28.033 --> 00:19:29.334
Everybody's got, you know, everybody in that audience represents
00:19:29.334 --> 00:19:32.337
The much larger k-love listening audience all around the country
00:19:32.337 --> 00:19:35.741
And around the world.
00:19:35.741 --> 00:19:36.542
And, you know, it's a reminder for us of, like, we get to step into their stories
00:19:36.542 --> 00:19:41.079
With the songs that we write and hopefully point them closer to jesus.
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:44.583
In a world that often feels divided in moments
00:19:45.017 --> 00:19:48.053
Of heartbreak, tragedy and devastation, there is a sound that breaks
00:19:48.053 --> 00:19:52.925
Through the noise, a voice of hope, a lifeline of faith.
00:19:52.925 --> 00:19:57.162
I got a wheelchair when i was two years old, and i've been driving it ever since.
00:19:58.063 --> 00:20:03.035
Just cause you different doesn't mean she doesn't like, you know, fit in.
00:20:03.035 --> 00:20:06.438
And it's just easier for me to go through life with a big brother.
00:20:06.972 --> 00:20:11.043
Like, try this lord with all my heart was definitely
00:20:11.043 --> 00:20:14.513
My husband.
00:20:15.681 --> 00:20:16.982
My jesus christ, love loves better.
00:20:16.982 --> 00:20:19.952
Became a fan of words as a ministry,
00:20:21.987 --> 00:20:24.423
A movement, a celebration of the music that carries us.
00:20:24.423 --> 00:20:28.093
It honors the artist who reminds us that we are not alone, as well as the fans
00:20:28.427 --> 00:20:33.865
Whose stories testify to god's power even in the darkest of times.
00:20:33.865 --> 00:20:38.370
You know you're looking out here.
00:20:38.370 --> 00:20:39.805
All the k-love fans.
00:20:39.805 --> 00:20:41.540
It is.
00:20:41.540 --> 00:20:44.176
It is god's miracle.
00:20:44.176 --> 00:20:45.944
We know and are honored to have you sitting right here next to us.
00:20:45.944 --> 00:20:50.482
It was it was, a shocking moment to hear cancer used when it was talking to me.
00:20:50.983 --> 00:20:56.255
So it was it was tough.
00:20:56.255 --> 00:20:58.290
And, you know, when a storm hits your life, you can't draw
00:20:58.290 --> 00:21:01.393
Strength from a worldview or a place that you visit once a week.
00:21:01.893 --> 00:21:05.364
It's got to be a relationship with a person, the person of jesus christ.
00:21:05.797 --> 00:21:08.900
A storm will test that. it will.
00:21:09.001 --> 00:21:10.636
It will take all the all the ribbons and bows off of your faith
00:21:10.636 --> 00:21:14.339
And take it down to okay, you and me, jesus.
00:21:14.339 --> 00:21:17.009
We got to get through this. through every storm.
00:21:17.009 --> 00:21:19.645
Caleb stands as a constant voice of encouragement,
00:21:19.645 --> 00:21:22.648
Pointing hearts back to jesus through worship, testimony, and truth.
00:21:22.714 --> 00:21:27.452
Each year, the kayla fan awards celebrates the connection between artists
00:21:27.986 --> 00:21:32.424
And listeners between heaven and earth.
00:21:32.958 --> 00:21:35.961
We wanted to let you know that we received the pathology report.
00:21:35.994 --> 00:21:38.897
They got it all.
00:21:38.897 --> 00:21:40.499
The doctor's office actually said, congratulations,
00:21:40.499 --> 00:21:43.869
You have no more cancer in your body.
00:21:43.869 --> 00:21:46.004
The psalm 3418 says, the lord is close to the brokenhearted,
00:21:46.004 --> 00:21:51.710
And tonight we want to take a moment to pause and pray
00:21:52.344 --> 00:21:55.747
For all of those who are mourning in buffalo, new york,
00:21:55.747 --> 00:21:59.384
Laguna woods, california, uvalde, texas and around the world.
00:21:59.851 --> 00:22:04.756
Earlier this year, the reverend billy graham went home to be with the lord.
00:22:05.157 --> 00:22:08.660
Billy's ministry impacted the lives of millions of people
00:22:09.361 --> 00:22:12.364
Around the world, including many of us in this room.
00:22:12.364 --> 00:22:15.367
All the tears will be wiped away.
00:22:15.500 --> 00:22:18.003
A new heaven and a new earth will emerge.
00:22:18.003 --> 00:22:21.006
We lift up jesus's name and remind ourselves
00:22:21.106 --> 00:22:23.942
That even in our brokenness, we are seen, we are loved, and we are never forgotten.
00:22:23.942 --> 00:22:29.715
Carlos, how are we feeling tonight?
00:22:39.291 --> 00:22:41.293
The countdown to the 2025 k-love fan awards has just begun.
00:22:41.293 --> 00:22:45.931

00:22:54.639 --> 00:22:57.008
He is the treasure.
00:22:57.008 --> 00:22:57.809
It's the power of christ for the salvation of all who believe.
00:22:57.809 --> 00:23:00.278

Only on tbn and tbn, plus.
00:23:06.485 --> 00:23:09.488
K-love has come a long way at the award show.
00:23:14.192 --> 00:23:16.995
2013 was the first k-love fan awards.
00:23:16.995 --> 00:23:22.300
Man has come a long way since its launch in 2013.
00:23:23.201 --> 00:23:27.139
The k-love fan awards has become the ultimate celebration of faith,
00:23:27.339 --> 00:23:30.976
Music and community where the fans
00:23:31.376 --> 00:23:34.446
Get the final saying, awesome!
00:23:34.446 --> 00:23:37.449
Well, whoever wins this could use matthew's acceptance speech here.
00:23:37.582 --> 00:23:40.285
And the winner is
00:23:43.555 --> 00:23:46.558
Breaking it down.
00:23:46.625 --> 00:23:48.794
We love you all.
00:23:48.794 --> 00:23:50.061
What started as a bold idea to honor christian artists,
00:23:50.061 --> 00:23:53.432
Authors, athletes and film makers has grown into a powerful weekend
00:23:53.698 --> 00:23:58.970
Of worship, connection, and unforgettable moments held in the heart of nashville.
00:23:58.970 --> 00:24:04.342
The caleb fan awards brings together the biggest names in
00:24:04.376 --> 00:24:07.446
Christian entertainment and the listeners who support them every day.
00:24:07.446 --> 00:24:10.982
Oh, he's calling us to walk out the door.
00:24:11.750 --> 00:24:16.154
It's more than just an award show.
00:24:16.421 --> 00:24:18.690
It's a movement that celebrates
00:24:18.690 --> 00:24:20.292
The message of hope that caleb shares 24 over seven.
00:24:20.292 --> 00:24:23.695
Come on, rise up.
00:24:24.095 --> 00:24:25.997
Take a breath. do.
00:24:25.997 --> 00:24:29.000
You remember the first one?
00:24:29.401 --> 00:24:31.036
And i think part and that was the one about the emcee came out by the airport.
00:24:31.036 --> 00:24:34.673
That's right. he was in.
00:24:34.739 --> 00:24:35.474
So is that the ryman?
00:24:36.741 --> 00:24:38.210
Yeah.
00:24:38.210 --> 00:24:38.477
First we got the room, and now we're at the grand ole opry house.
00:24:38.477 --> 00:24:41.146
And, man, it's grown.
00:24:41.146 --> 00:24:42.714
Performances keep getting greater and bigger.
00:24:42.714 --> 00:24:45.750
Better? yeah. people come from everywhere. it's it's awesome.
00:24:45.750 --> 00:24:48.286
They spend a whole weekend. yeah. that's it.
00:24:48.286 --> 00:24:50.489
It's like a country
00:24:50.489 --> 00:24:51.490
Music has a big weekend like that that they've had for years in nashville.
00:24:51.490 --> 00:24:54.993
But like, christian music has never really had something like that until,
00:24:55.260 --> 00:24:58.263
The caliphate of words came around there like 3000 people.
00:24:58.463 --> 00:25:01.466
Yeah.
00:25:01.600 --> 00:25:02.200
Like some of that 3000 people that come through.
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:04.069
And like, if you walk through the hotel in the days before, like, it's crazy.
00:25:04.069 --> 00:25:09.241
It's awesome. the people are so amazing.
00:25:09.241 --> 00:25:11.576
But yeah, the show's gotten bigger and i'd like to think better as well.
00:25:11.576 --> 00:25:15.547
I mean, we'll see. oh yeah.
00:25:16.081 --> 00:25:18.116
They got in there.
00:25:19.317 --> 00:25:20.085
Yeah, right.
00:25:20.085 --> 00:25:21.720
That.
00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:24.723
I actually remember
00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:28.660
Amazing performances by every one of these artists in the past.
00:25:28.660 --> 00:25:31.696
And like, like you said, the performances are.
00:25:32.030 --> 00:25:34.299
It's like everybody.
00:25:34.299 --> 00:25:35.634
It's an award show.
00:25:35.634 --> 00:25:36.635
So the performances are like world class.
00:25:36.635 --> 00:25:39.638
You know what?
00:25:48.213 --> 00:25:50.081
I'm not.
00:25:50.081 --> 00:25:50.515
What i'm most looking forward to is what i'm also the most fearful of.
00:25:50.515 --> 00:25:54.619
Yeah.
00:25:54.819 --> 00:25:55.053
And that is like, i know everybody, i know the performances of the night.
00:25:55.053 --> 00:25:58.657
Everything's going to be great.
00:25:58.657 --> 00:26:00.158
And the production team, like caleb
00:26:00.158 --> 00:26:02.827
Knox, the part it's, it's a world class show.
00:26:02.827 --> 00:26:06.364
And so for some reason, they've left
00:26:06.765 --> 00:26:10.168
The fate of, of this world class show in, i think, in eight very capable hands.
00:26:10.435 --> 00:26:15.240
Eight. two. four. six. yeah.
00:26:15.273 --> 00:26:17.309
But i will say the scary thing is, and what you guys need to prepare for,
00:26:17.309 --> 00:26:21.546
And i know you're probably already nervous about this, but like that day off
00:26:21.780 --> 00:26:25.550
And going in, like, all the things that we think are the lines
00:26:26.217 --> 00:26:28.787
That we think are funny or like the monologue stuff,
00:26:28.787 --> 00:26:31.790
The video bits we're going to create, like they're getting cut.
00:26:31.790 --> 00:26:34.793
We hope they're funny,
00:26:34.826 --> 00:26:36.361
But then in front of a live audience, like they could fall flat.
00:26:36.361 --> 00:26:39.364
Being it is the most nerve wracking feeling like, i think the last two times
00:26:39.431 --> 00:26:44.402
I've done it, i've slept for two days
00:26:44.402 --> 00:26:45.604
After just because of the stress i felt going.
00:26:45.604 --> 00:26:48.340
If the crowd it was, it was more normally you're worried about like,
00:26:48.340 --> 00:26:51.743
Are they going to like our music when we go do a concert on tour?
00:26:51.743 --> 00:26:54.746
But like this is different because it's like,
00:26:55.080 --> 00:26:56.948
Are they going to think we're funny?
00:26:56.948 --> 00:26:58.617
Is this good?
00:26:58.617 --> 00:26:59.217
The good news is,
00:26:59.217 --> 00:26:59.884
If it's not funny, there's three others that will call it out immediately.
00:26:59.884 --> 00:27:03.088
Okay. and it'll become funny.
00:27:03.655 --> 00:27:05.323
So there's no pressure. no pressure.
00:27:05.323 --> 00:27:07.292
Oh no pressure.
00:27:07.292 --> 00:27:08.126
Well that's everything.
00:27:08.126 --> 00:27:09.361
I just i'm like, where have you guys been all these years?
00:27:09.361 --> 00:27:12.097
I'm riddled with anxiety and all i needed was you guys.
00:27:12.097 --> 00:27:14.866
If you say a line and three of us just start scooting away from me, okay?
00:27:14.866 --> 00:27:17.802
Well, now, new fear unlocked.
00:27:18.837 --> 00:27:21.439
Take 54. all right.
00:27:21.439 --> 00:27:22.907
This is like this leads on.
00:27:22.907 --> 00:27:24.943
Oh. they're testing. check. there's no.
00:27:24.943 --> 00:27:27.545
Those are on multiple.
00:27:27.545 --> 00:27:29.881
Okay, i got to cover.
00:27:29.881 --> 00:27:31.916
Mark, we're like the right.
00:27:31.916 --> 00:27:33.518
Hey, did you notice that my gum disappeared?
00:27:33.518 --> 00:27:35.787
You had gum the whole time.
00:27:35.787 --> 00:27:37.555
He lives now.
00:27:37.555 --> 00:27:39.891
I'm sorry, i just i just got nervous.
00:27:39.891 --> 00:27:42.894
78. huge.
00:27:43.828 --> 00:27:46.064
Just kidding. oh, really?
00:27:46.064 --> 00:27:49.067
Sorry. just had to get one.
00:27:49.401 --> 00:27:51.202
And then i'll admit it.
00:27:51.202 --> 00:27:52.470
It's the mercy. me 74.
00:27:52.470 --> 00:27:55.473
Can we do that song?
00:27:55.540 --> 00:27:56.875
Let us stereotyped you, bro.
00:27:56.875 --> 00:27:58.576
How are you guys prepared for this big night?
00:27:58.576 --> 00:28:00.745
I mean, what's what? what? what do we expect?
00:28:00.745 --> 00:28:03.682
You're a huge part of it right now.
00:28:03.682 --> 00:28:04.883
We're learning so much. we.
00:28:04.883 --> 00:28:07.218
I'm sorry.
00:28:07.218 --> 00:28:09.320
We have no idea you're going to be there.
00:28:09.320 --> 00:28:11.322
I said this, i would say is the text thread that we have is
00:28:11.322 --> 00:28:14.025
How we're preparing.
00:28:14.025 --> 00:28:14.759
Yes. shoot it out 100%.
00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:17.395
We have a text thread together. yeah.
00:28:17.395 --> 00:28:18.897
That it's there's a lot of it.
00:28:18.897 --> 00:28:21.666
And and not us.
00:28:21.666 --> 00:28:23.468
But when caleb asked this, they were like, we want the mount rushmore of host. and
00:28:23.468 --> 00:28:27.706
I guess they didn't call back.
00:28:28.973 --> 00:28:29.941
So they got us.
00:28:29.941 --> 00:28:30.575
And so our thread is called mount host.
00:28:30.575 --> 00:28:32.310
More. yes.
00:28:32.310 --> 00:28:33.912
And that's how we commune.
00:28:33.912 --> 00:28:35.513
And, prepare for to be as prepared as we are coming across, really prepared.
00:28:35.513 --> 00:28:41.486
So do you do you all have freedom to write kind of what you're.
00:28:41.853 --> 00:28:45.757
Well, we get together on on zooms.
00:28:45.757 --> 00:28:48.860
Yeah.
00:28:49.194 --> 00:28:49.461
And, you know, we talk with the producers and the writers, and
00:28:49.461 --> 00:28:53.098
I feel like we're in the eighth grade because we're, like,
00:28:53.732 --> 00:28:57.135
Only zooms at our own houses and we're texting
00:28:57.135 --> 00:29:00.138
Each other
00:29:00.972 --> 00:29:02.807
And nobody knows why we're laughing.
00:29:02.807 --> 00:29:04.609
Yeah. caleb eventually is like, this was a horrible idea.
00:29:04.609 --> 00:29:07.345
Know.
00:29:07.345 --> 00:29:07.612
Seriously, we're, we're on a zoom with the whole production team,
00:29:07.612 --> 00:29:11.082
And our phones all get a text from matt going, everybody touch your right ear.
00:29:11.316 --> 00:29:16.421
Or so
00:29:16.421 --> 00:29:16.788
You called out the name.
00:29:17.889 --> 00:29:19.290
Somebody called you guys.
00:29:19.290 --> 00:29:19.958
Who are you?
00:29:19.958 --> 00:29:20.391
Tell rolling in.
00:29:20.391 --> 00:29:22.026
Well, because all our phones are going ding.

00:30:00.899 --> 00:30:02.634
But i will say in the in the years that i've worked
00:30:02.634 --> 00:30:05.804
On the caleb fan awards, it's finding things that are funny
00:30:05.804 --> 00:30:08.940
And people who are willing to laugh at things that are funny.
00:30:09.574 --> 00:30:12.710
It's it's it's not easy.
00:30:13.244 --> 00:30:15.880
Do you know what i mean?
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:16.447
Like, we've had comedians that will come up in like present
00:30:16.447 --> 00:30:19.450
At the kayla fan awards and they'll like,
00:30:19.651 --> 00:30:22.353
Turn it into a roast and like, the crowd gets a little uncomfortable.
00:30:22.353 --> 00:30:25.657
Yeah. it's just a different type of thing.
00:30:25.657 --> 00:30:27.225
You do a post interview. yeah.
00:30:27.225 --> 00:30:28.760

00:30:32.197 --> 00:30:33.631
Yeah.
00:30:33.631 --> 00:30:34.232
It's a lot of conversation of like, can we get away with that or would
00:30:34.232 --> 00:30:38.002
That would people think that's funny or is this an inside joke.
00:30:38.002 --> 00:30:41.005
And then and you're yeah, beauty of force is that
00:30:41.005 --> 00:30:44.242
Surely if it goes through the four of us, that's like should be fine, right?
00:30:44.409 --> 00:30:48.213
Yeah.
00:30:48.246 --> 00:30:48.746
There's a filter like it's made it through four levels of.
00:30:48.746 --> 00:30:51.883
Yeah, of maturity. of maturity.
00:30:51.883 --> 00:30:53.852

That's what you get for being for all your cycles and resources.
00:31:31.155 --> 00:31:34.158
I wasn't expecting murder shots of the other murders.
00:31:34.225 --> 00:31:37.362
Well, i was thinking.
00:31:37.495 --> 00:31:40.498

00:31:45.303 --> 00:31:47.705
Motorcycles.
00:31:47.705 --> 00:31:49.540
Dang it.
00:31:49.540 --> 00:31:50.408
You gotta let me know that's who you say.
00:31:50.408 --> 00:31:53.945
Are you the one that's like, no, no, i'm not.
00:31:54.045 --> 00:31:56.915
I'm like the quiet guy, but but are you the one that keeps everybody in check?
00:31:56.915 --> 00:32:00.451
Are you the one? oh yeah. yeah.
00:32:00.485 --> 00:32:01.552
I'm like, all right, guys, come on. let's let's focus.
00:32:01.552 --> 00:32:03.621
Yeah. he is he is alive.
00:32:03.621 --> 00:32:05.857
But he's he's,
00:32:05.857 --> 00:32:07.425
He's driving in foreign land to be here, so he's just not as happy to waste
00:32:07.425 --> 00:32:10.929
Time as we are. that's right. yeah. we're all sitting around.
00:32:10.929 --> 00:32:13.665
He's like, i gotta go home.
00:32:13.665 --> 00:32:14.599
I just drove for hours here. i'm not putting up with this.
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:17.235
I'm just sitting in my chair and we can do this forever.
00:32:17.235 --> 00:32:20.238
And i came in the caleb helicopter, so it's no easy trip back and forth.
00:32:20.271 --> 00:32:23.808
Oh, yeah. i knew there was one.
00:32:24.475 --> 00:32:26.611
Y'all should, like, do some music together.
00:32:27.712 --> 00:32:30.915
All right.
00:32:31.082 --> 00:32:31.683
That's a great idea.
00:32:31.683 --> 00:32:32.650
Real music. like a like.
00:32:32.650 --> 00:32:34.552
Yeah, like a collab.
00:32:34.552 --> 00:32:35.954
Oh, i mean, i'd love as well we we were, we were in a group together.
00:32:35.954 --> 00:32:40.558
Yes. we're in a group together.
00:32:40.591 --> 00:32:42.627
And, you know, people who watch the show are going to find out some,
00:32:42.627 --> 00:32:46.164
Some music we've been working on.
00:32:46.164 --> 00:32:47.365
So there should be a post. serious.
00:32:47.365 --> 00:32:50.168
Oh, yes.
00:32:50.168 --> 00:32:50.668
You know, there's no there's definitely music.
00:32:50.668 --> 00:32:53.237
We're not saying what type of music.
00:32:53.237 --> 00:32:54.439
We're just saying there's there's a callback to a bit of iconic
00:32:54.439 --> 00:32:57.442
That these people.
00:32:57.709 --> 00:32:59.277
Yeah, our each of our individual
00:32:59.277 --> 00:33:02.280
Career and ministry paths have an origin story.
00:33:02.280 --> 00:33:05.483
And i think the caliphate of words is going to kind of
00:33:05.483 --> 00:33:08.353
I mean, it's kind of the only reason we're probably all hosting, right?
00:33:08.353 --> 00:33:10.855
It's going to talk about the origins.
00:33:10.855 --> 00:33:12.156
There's going to be a little bit of behind the music.
00:33:12.156 --> 00:33:14.225
Yeah. you know, documentary about. yeah.
00:33:14.225 --> 00:33:16.394
Our band, our own.
00:33:17.428 --> 00:33:19.964
What would you name the band?
00:33:19.964 --> 00:33:21.499
Oh, it's got a name.
00:33:21.499 --> 00:33:22.567
It does already.
00:33:22.567 --> 00:33:25.069
So i'm a huge fan of so many of these artists here tonight.
00:33:25.069 --> 00:33:27.572
Yeah, i bet you are too.
00:33:27.572 --> 00:33:28.573
Who are you a fan of? like, who are your favorite bands growing?
00:33:28.573 --> 00:33:31.275
Like growing up?
00:33:31.275 --> 00:33:31.909
Okay, so i'm a total super k-love fan all the time.
00:33:31.909 --> 00:33:34.846
And then growing up, i mean, i fell in love with this boy band,
00:33:34.846 --> 00:33:38.182
Christian boy band that quite like, made it to big time.
00:33:38.383 --> 00:33:42.153
But i'm sure some of you
00:33:42.153 --> 00:33:43.154
May have heard of them, but they were bigger than nkotb to me.
00:33:43.154 --> 00:33:46.924
I was the president of the fan club.
00:33:46.924 --> 00:33:49.260
Okay, for this christian boy band, there i am for in the fire.
00:33:49.260 --> 00:33:53.965
Does that ring a bell?
00:33:53.965 --> 00:33:54.799
No, matthew, i've never i've never heard of that that group before.
00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:58.236
No, i, i think, you know, i think you know exactly who i'm talking about.
00:33:58.236 --> 00:34:01.806
Matty ice.
00:34:01.806 --> 00:34:02.340
We were in a boy band called years ago called for in the fire or in the fire,
00:34:02.340 --> 00:34:06.744
And, and and
00:34:07.845 --> 00:34:09.414
It was there was the reason that matt quit is the fourth.
00:34:09.414 --> 00:34:12.850
Jesus was the fourth because matt quit the band.
00:34:13.151 --> 00:34:16.154
Okay, so today we're here with four
00:34:16.687 --> 00:34:19.057
And the five of you guys, tell us, tell us your names.
00:34:19.057 --> 00:34:22.894
Yo, yo, yo. hello.
00:34:23.127 --> 00:34:24.929
My name is matty ice.
00:34:24.929 --> 00:34:27.932
I'm jeremy jam.
00:34:28.533 --> 00:34:29.600
Come on.
00:34:29.600 --> 00:34:32.603
Bruh.
00:34:32.737 --> 00:34:33.504
Be your.
00:34:33.504 --> 00:34:36.307
Okay, so, four in the five, but there's actually the.
00:34:36.307 --> 00:34:40.044
There's only three is. right. perceptive. yeah.
00:34:40.111 --> 00:34:42.580
Can you explain where the story in the bible, guys?
00:34:42.580 --> 00:34:44.682
You know it, right?
00:34:44.682 --> 00:34:45.450
Shadrach, me check a bed to go. right.
00:34:45.450 --> 00:34:48.653
But none of them got burned because one of them was god.
00:34:48.653 --> 00:34:52.356
There were four in the fire.
00:34:52.757 --> 00:34:56.294
Four in the fire, four in the fire.
00:34:56.561 --> 00:35:00.465
But none of them got burned because one of them was god.
00:35:00.665 --> 00:35:04.802
There were four in the fire, but we were the three.
00:35:06.003 --> 00:35:07.939
And then god was.
00:35:07.939 --> 00:35:09.140
Yeah, the fourth.
00:35:09.140 --> 00:35:10.074
And it was so confusing
00:35:10.074 --> 00:35:11.109
To explain that over and over and over we just decided we need a fourth.
00:35:11.109 --> 00:35:14.278
So we brought mac back.
00:35:14.479 --> 00:35:16.247
And then the album's called god is a given.
00:35:16.247 --> 00:35:18.182
God is a god is a given.
00:35:18.182 --> 00:35:20.218
Songs for the man upstairs.
00:35:20.218 --> 00:35:21.452
And so it's going to be there's going to be the music of
00:35:21.452 --> 00:35:24.522
How we've evolved over the years since it was it 2018, 20,
00:35:24.522 --> 00:35:28.392
I think is that it was. yeah.
00:35:28.926 --> 00:35:30.361
I think jason's playing.
00:35:30.361 --> 00:35:31.696
Yeah.
00:35:31.696 --> 00:35:31.896
I think jason's question was a serious one about how we feel like
00:35:31.896 --> 00:35:34.932
I just broke his heart up.
00:35:34.932 --> 00:35:36.667
No, we're doing it.
00:35:36.667 --> 00:35:38.369
What do they say?
00:35:38.369 --> 00:35:38.803
I'm sad that you're genuinely excited
00:35:38.803 --> 00:35:40.838
Because i think you're going to be disappointed. yeah, it's a think. so? yeah.
00:35:40.838 --> 00:35:43.741
All my houses, all my cards,
00:35:44.842 --> 00:35:47.545

00:35:47.545 --> 00:35:51.949
I feel it's a blessing from you
00:35:51.949 --> 00:35:54.952
And i want to give it all back,
00:35:55.186 --> 00:35:58.189
But i don't know how.
00:35:58.456 --> 00:36:01.025
So lord, i give you my heart.
00:36:01.025 --> 00:36:04.595
But that's all for now.
00:36:04.862 --> 00:36:07.431
Well, you know
00:36:07.431 --> 00:36:08.799

00:36:14.305 --> 00:36:15.573
What would that be like? what would it look like?
00:36:15.573 --> 00:36:17.375
Well, well, i mean, i'm like a heavenly host of angels.
00:36:17.375 --> 00:36:20.811
Four angels, four angels.
00:36:20.811 --> 00:36:23.814
Halos.
00:36:32.790 --> 00:36:33.391

In tonight's theme, being encouraged and faith,
00:37:03.487 --> 00:37:07.291
A phrase that comes to mind when i think about the industry
00:37:07.725 --> 00:37:10.728
And my personal journey is this
00:37:11.028 --> 00:37:13.764
We're better together.
00:37:13.764 --> 00:37:15.900

Hey, whoa.
00:37:29.347 --> 00:37:31.182
There's nothing that a god can do.
00:37:31.182 --> 00:37:34.185
Each year, the kayla fan awards embraces a powerful theme,
00:37:35.453 --> 00:37:38.589
Reminding us why we gather from community

00:37:45.396 --> 00:37:50.268
This year, we stand in awe and wonder,
00:37:50.901 --> 00:37:54.038
Reflecting on his glory in every story, every song,
00:37:54.505 --> 00:37:58.542
And every soul that makes a way.
00:37:58.876 --> 00:38:01.879
There's nothing that i can't get to.
00:38:02.346 --> 00:38:05.516
I'll praise you anyways.
00:38:06.250 --> 00:38:08.185
Praise him, praise your name in the highest.
00:38:08.185 --> 00:38:12.690
Praise you, praise you in the highest.
00:38:12.690 --> 00:38:17.194
He is worthy is.
00:38:17.194 --> 00:38:21.632
He is worthy of all.
00:38:21.632 --> 00:38:25.202
The shame.
00:38:25.603 --> 00:38:26.470
Thing is all in wonder.
00:38:26.470 --> 00:38:29.140
I love that i obviously i love that title.
00:38:29.140 --> 00:38:31.776
I saw something on social media.
00:38:31.776 --> 00:38:33.110
I think it's great for this with somebody said the one thing that's
00:38:33.110 --> 00:38:36.180
Going to kill the church could be the lack of all that.
00:38:36.180 --> 00:38:40.051
We're not impressed that we never put our phones down, that we never,
00:38:40.051 --> 00:38:43.187
You know, catch our breath in the whatever.
00:38:43.521 --> 00:38:45.323
And that's why i became obsessed with that concept.
00:38:45.323 --> 00:38:47.491
And i love that idea of just like, even for a moment, just to
00:38:47.491 --> 00:38:50.928
To put the things aside and enjoy each other.
00:38:51.395 --> 00:38:54.165
That's good.
00:38:54.165 --> 00:38:54.865
And i speak for all of us like a kayla.
00:38:54.865 --> 00:38:57.535
We wouldn't be here without without radio in general.
00:38:57.535 --> 00:39:00.037
But kayla and like god puts a message in our heart and k-love
00:39:00.037 --> 00:39:03.341
Is this massive megaphone, this this net that we are allowed to cast and reach.
00:39:03.341 --> 00:39:07.311
So many people.
00:39:07.311 --> 00:39:08.045
And so the coolest part of all is that who ever dreamed
00:39:08.045 --> 00:39:11.349
That a radio station would be able to do an award show and do all of this.
00:39:11.349 --> 00:39:15.152
And so, you know, it's it's it's it's it's a lot of things
00:39:15.152 --> 00:39:19.290
That we and christian music are missing or need as far as community goes.
00:39:19.290 --> 00:39:23.160
And, and so yeah, it's truly is an honor.
00:39:23.160 --> 00:39:25.529
We joke around, but it is an honor to be a part of it.
00:39:25.529 --> 00:39:27.331
And, and you know, we're coming anyway.
00:39:27.331 --> 00:39:30.000
Okay.
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:31.235
Well, yeah.
00:39:31.235 --> 00:39:31.802
You don't wanna take those things for granted. yeah.
00:39:31.802 --> 00:39:33.270
You know what i mean?
00:39:33.270 --> 00:39:34.138
Just the impact that it's had.
00:39:34.138 --> 00:39:35.539
Yeah. in our lives for want and the lives of a lot of people.
00:39:35.539 --> 00:39:38.509
So i'm definitely. and it's a big deal, kayla.
00:39:38.509 --> 00:39:41.011
I mean, you know,
00:39:41.011 --> 00:39:41.912
Especially with them, they don't you you speak to people as a full time job.
00:39:41.912 --> 00:39:45.716
You don't get to see them very often. yeah.
00:39:45.850 --> 00:39:48.152
And so it's pretty fun to have those roads intersect.
00:39:48.152 --> 00:39:51.455
Yeah. i really do love what
00:39:51.455 --> 00:39:54.258
Caleb has done for
00:39:55.459 --> 00:39:57.695
Our our industry.
00:39:57.695 --> 00:40:00.698
But you can feel it.
00:40:01.065 --> 00:40:02.333
It's not all business even though they're they're massive.
00:40:02.333 --> 00:40:07.071
Yeah. right. yeah.
00:40:07.471 --> 00:40:08.939
But you could tell what they do is so centered
00:40:08.939 --> 00:40:12.176
About getting this message to the people.
00:40:12.410 --> 00:40:15.513
How is that how do you feel that as artists.
00:40:15.980 --> 00:40:19.116
Yeah. the whole the message of jesus christ.
00:40:19.750 --> 00:40:22.453
Yeah.
00:40:22.453 --> 00:40:22.953
I just came off of a tour with a couple of other
00:40:22.953 --> 00:40:25.756
Great artists, cochran and company and john reddick.
00:40:25.756 --> 00:40:28.759
And as the three of us
00:40:28.759 --> 00:40:30.294
Would do, meet and greets and the tour was sponsored by k-love, you would hear so
00:40:30.294 --> 00:40:35.032
Many stories, people coming up, you know, let's say there's 100 people in line.
00:40:35.032 --> 00:40:38.702
I would say at least half of them.
00:40:39.203 --> 00:40:40.771
You hear stories from them, about our music, other songs that they've heard.
00:40:40.771 --> 00:40:46.410
Yeah.
00:40:46.577 --> 00:40:46.844
And so i not only see it and hear it from other people, i see it in my own life.
00:40:46.844 --> 00:40:50.948
I listen to caleb all the time.
00:40:51.348 --> 00:40:52.683
Christian radio all the time.
00:40:52.683 --> 00:40:54.585
I'm encouraged.
00:40:54.585 --> 00:40:55.553
Christian music changed my life. it really did.
00:40:55.553 --> 00:40:58.255
It helped me to, grow in my faith, helps
00:40:58.255 --> 00:41:01.759
Me to know what's going on in the church within my area.
00:41:01.759 --> 00:41:04.762
And so just to know that anywhere you go out into this us,
00:41:05.196 --> 00:41:10.067
Almost every mile you go, you can pick up a k-love station.
00:41:10.801 --> 00:41:14.205
And to know that there's a ministry like that that is reaching so many people.
00:41:14.672 --> 00:41:18.542
And then for us as artists to be able to be part of that is a big blessing.
00:41:18.542 --> 00:41:22.513
Absolutely.
00:41:22.947 --> 00:41:23.481
Once is there a is there a certain story that you've heard from
00:41:23.481 --> 00:41:27.218
Maybe a fan or someone that supports what you do from?
00:41:27.218 --> 00:41:32.223
I mean, it's a pretty like, gnarly story, but i remember
00:41:33.457 --> 00:41:36.460
I talked to this young girl and she said the
00:41:36.927 --> 00:41:39.930
She was contemplating suicide
00:41:40.464 --> 00:41:42.433
And she was in the act of that, to be honest.
00:41:42.433 --> 00:41:47.371
So it's a lot it's deep and all sudden the radio station,
00:41:47.571 --> 00:41:51.742
She goes, i want even listen to christian radio.
00:41:51.775 --> 00:41:52.977
It somehow it came on in my room and one of your songs came on
00:41:52.977 --> 00:41:57.114
And she goes, i just really felt like god saying,
00:41:57.248 --> 00:42:01.385
Hey, i'm here, i love you, i see you.
00:42:01.385 --> 00:42:04.388
And she goes from that i just said in my life of the lord
00:42:04.421 --> 00:42:06.991
And completely changed my life.
00:42:06.991 --> 00:42:08.359
And so that kind of stuff makes you go, that's why i do what i do. yeah.
00:42:08.359 --> 00:42:11.161
Like it really like
00:42:11.161 --> 00:42:12.530
It's great ones like you get awards and love your music and it's like, great.
00:42:12.530 --> 00:42:16.700
But it says how you can impact in my life the fact where i have some in my life
00:42:16.700 --> 00:42:20.771
To jesus, i have come back to him, i have been comforted, i but whatever.
00:42:20.771 --> 00:42:25.476
Like we all know, that kind of stuff is hugely encouraging and keeps us going.
00:42:25.709 --> 00:42:30.481
Yeah, because if i don't ever hear that kind of stuff, i would not quit.
00:42:30.514 --> 00:42:33.417
So i'm like, what's the point of doing it?
00:42:33.417 --> 00:42:34.585
Because i'm not just going to do it for accolades and affirmation
00:42:34.585 --> 00:42:37.655
Of just who i am. it's about what god's doing.
00:42:37.888 --> 00:42:40.558
And i think that that's all of our hearts and that's kayla's
00:42:40.558 --> 00:42:42.660
Heart is just going like, we don't want it to be just accolades.
00:42:42.660 --> 00:42:46.263
It's literally how can we point people to jesus?
00:42:46.597 --> 00:42:49.600
And if that's not the case, i don't want to be a part of it.
00:42:49.633 --> 00:42:52.336
You know what's awesome to hear, too, is the
00:42:52.336 --> 00:42:55.172
The listener.
00:42:56.740 --> 00:42:58.175
They feel like,
00:42:58.175 --> 00:43:00.811
Especially with caleb, they heard the song for the first time,
00:43:00.811 --> 00:43:03.514
And they've watched it come to life and how it's touched their hearts and how
00:43:03.514 --> 00:43:07.451
It's ministered to them or brought them through, like you were saying,
00:43:07.451 --> 00:43:10.921
I think caleb has done an incredible job at at really promoting those things.
00:43:11.455 --> 00:43:16.894
Yeah. alongside you ready this.
00:43:16.894 --> 00:43:19.296
So cool.
00:43:19.296 --> 00:43:19.597
Alongside his incredibly talented daughters.
00:43:19.597 --> 00:43:22.466
Please welcome jeremy.
00:43:22.466 --> 00:43:24.168
Can't.
00:43:24.168 --> 00:43:27.171
I am the place to go.
00:43:34.411 --> 00:43:37.881
Is there a person in the field who you don't even know?
00:43:38.215 --> 00:43:41.852
Someone who sees who you are?
00:43:43.621 --> 00:43:46.590
Yeah,
00:43:47.791 --> 00:43:50.027
We knew the kid was a dreamer.
00:43:50.027 --> 00:43:52.262
Now you don't believe.
00:43:52.262 --> 00:43:54.031
Are you in love for god?
00:43:54.031 --> 00:43:55.466
So broken down.
00:43:55.466 --> 00:43:56.533
You lost the kid.
00:43:56.533 --> 00:43:59.436
Someone to see.
00:43:59.436 --> 00:44:02.439
Yeah.
00:44:03.507 --> 00:44:04.642
What do you hope that, what you have for the people
00:44:04.642 --> 00:44:08.345
To take away from the k-love fan awards this year?
00:44:08.345 --> 00:44:11.382
I think when you think of on wonder,
00:44:12.282 --> 00:44:14.551
You think of god's majesty and his greatness and his wish.
00:44:14.551 --> 00:44:17.721
I think even what you were saying earlier, i think that we've we can somehow
00:44:17.721 --> 00:44:20.824
Lose that by kind of familiarity as well.
00:44:20.824 --> 00:44:23.827
Like, you just get too familiar with the cross,
00:44:23.927 --> 00:44:25.863
Get too familiar with the fact that, like, even, you know, easter
00:44:25.863 --> 00:44:29.299
Talking about, well, this is what he did.
00:44:29.667 --> 00:44:30.901
And the third day he rose again.
00:44:30.901 --> 00:44:32.736
And there's a familiarity that happens.
00:44:32.736 --> 00:44:34.405
I think that people just forget about the power of that.
00:44:34.405 --> 00:44:37.441
And not only that, but i think the god of the universe
00:44:37.641 --> 00:44:42.312
Actually sees us and loves us individually.
00:44:42.312 --> 00:44:45.849
So i think the message is that this god of on wonder
00:44:46.083 --> 00:44:50.387
Loves you individually, like he doesn't just love,
00:44:51.055 --> 00:44:54.058
You know, the k-love fan awards when when we show up together.
00:44:54.291 --> 00:44:56.927
He loves that. he loves that person individually.
00:44:56.927 --> 00:44:59.430
And i think that the message is, as god sees you,
00:44:59.430 --> 00:45:02.433
He loves you, and he has a plan, a purpose for you.
00:45:02.433 --> 00:45:04.601
I think that's a massive part of the desire of this award show.
00:45:04.601 --> 00:45:08.372
Once again, our hearts desire god's heart for his people.
00:45:08.439 --> 00:45:11.775
And i'm excited to see how that happens and how it's fulfilled
00:45:12.676 --> 00:45:15.446
To anyone
00:45:17.247 --> 00:45:18.382
Who is an awesome way to anyone.
00:45:18.382 --> 00:45:22.286
You ever met a saint.
00:45:22.319 --> 00:45:25.322
Here's a song for all the broken.
00:45:25.355 --> 00:45:28.192
You know what bart mentioned a while ago?
00:45:28.192 --> 00:45:30.794
It's like things the way that things are
00:45:30.794 --> 00:45:33.797
Are progressing in life.
00:45:34.431 --> 00:45:36.900
We're on our phones all the time.
00:45:36.900 --> 00:45:39.002
There's that.
00:45:39.002 --> 00:45:39.970
If it doesn't catch our attention, we're on to the next thing
00:45:39.970 --> 00:45:43.240
As thing progress.
00:45:44.875 --> 00:45:45.809
As things progress.
00:45:45.809 --> 00:45:47.578
How do you feel as ministers and also artists, to grasp
00:45:47.578 --> 00:45:52.850
Ahold of that authentic relationship that you have to have?
00:45:52.850 --> 00:45:56.453
What's to get that across to the artist or the the listeners?
00:45:56.754 --> 00:46:02.059
You know, the sincerity of it.
00:46:02.626 --> 00:46:05.295
This is going to sound so generic, but it's so true to what i found.
00:46:05.295 --> 00:46:08.665
And when i'm on stage and doing what i'm called to do, as you can't,
00:46:08.665 --> 00:46:12.970
Point someone
00:46:14.805 --> 00:46:16.573
To something unless you're actually doing it yourself.
00:46:16.573 --> 00:46:19.710
So what i mean by that is,
00:46:19.710 --> 00:46:20.844
If you're not spending time with jesus yourself
00:46:20.844 --> 00:46:23.013
And having that intimate relationship with him, how can you try to point people
00:46:23.013 --> 00:46:27.084
To something that you're not experiencing yourself?
00:46:27.384 --> 00:46:29.686
And i think that for me, like with all distractions going on, i mean,
00:46:29.686 --> 00:46:33.524
We try to always try to put on a great performance, do the best we can.
00:46:33.590 --> 00:46:37.427
But if i'm lacking in that own personal relationship with the lord,
00:46:37.728 --> 00:46:41.532
I can't try to point people to something i'm not looking to.
00:46:41.532 --> 00:46:45.068
And so i think that's key. that's 100% key.
00:46:45.302 --> 00:46:48.138
Yeah.
00:46:48.138 --> 00:46:48.305
This was meant to be an overflow of, you know, through relationship with christ.
00:46:48.305 --> 00:46:51.575
The same things are to me are just as important
00:46:51.675 --> 00:46:54.812
Because our attention spans are getting shorter.
00:46:54.812 --> 00:46:57.815
It's like when you're on tour and you have an audience,
00:46:57.881 --> 00:47:01.151
You can get their attention,
00:47:01.151 --> 00:47:02.252
Or you can actually speak or sing these songs or worship together.
00:47:02.252 --> 00:47:05.455
It's just it becomes about just getting their attention to listen
00:47:06.023 --> 00:47:09.493
Long enough, and you never know who's there or whatever.
00:47:09.493 --> 00:47:11.628
But it's still like, i'm not a tiktok guy.
00:47:11.628 --> 00:47:15.265
I can't, you know, i don't i don't do that kind of stuff.
00:47:15.265 --> 00:47:17.601
But it's like, you know, it's and, you know, i've got kids and i'm watching
00:47:17.601 --> 00:47:22.072
Like four straight going, man, this guy is capturing
00:47:22.072 --> 00:47:24.608
The attention of kids that i can't i can't grab their attention right now.
00:47:24.608 --> 00:47:28.111
But but it's still comes down to just just for them
00:47:28.579 --> 00:47:32.282
To listen for a moment just, you know, and and it's stilled.
00:47:32.282 --> 00:47:35.552
And so there's a lot of new stuff happening,
00:47:35.552 --> 00:47:37.521
But it still comes down to, man,
00:47:37.521 --> 00:47:39.389
The time is precious when you're standing in front of them
00:47:39.389 --> 00:47:42.092
And in sharing your heart or whatever, and you just don't want to squander it
00:47:42.092 --> 00:47:44.962
And just be as transparent as you can. yeah.
00:47:44.962 --> 00:47:46.697
And don't you guys think, i mean, i feel like there's a spiritual hunger,
00:47:46.697 --> 00:47:50.500
Like i can't remember in our society, in our culture.
00:47:51.268 --> 00:47:54.137
And like, people are there wanting something real.
00:47:54.137 --> 00:47:56.406
Like, i got a daughter in college now and it's like i'm watching revival
00:47:56.406 --> 00:48:00.244
Break out in these college campuses, and i'm seeing like, they're drawn to real.
00:48:00.244 --> 00:48:04.882
And like, i think one of the things that i've always, you know,
00:48:04.882 --> 00:48:08.752
Been inspired to be about is like writing songs
00:48:09.253 --> 00:48:12.122
That are real about the pain in life,
00:48:12.122 --> 00:48:13.891
But just as real about the hope and and the redemption that we have in christ.
00:48:13.891 --> 00:48:17.761
And that's what k-love plays every day, all day.
00:48:17.761 --> 00:48:21.565
And that's the music that guys like us have felt called to make.
00:48:21.765 --> 00:48:24.501
And all the other artists who are going to be on stage at the kayla
00:48:24.501 --> 00:48:26.603
Fan awards, like there's something different about what we do.
00:48:26.603 --> 00:48:29.539
We've all been blessed to have a front row seat to see the impact
00:48:29.539 --> 00:48:33.410
That a three minute, christ centered song can have on somebody's life.
00:48:33.911 --> 00:48:38.181
And it's not the music makers, it's it's what god's doing through that.
00:48:38.515 --> 00:48:43.086
And the interesting thing about the kayla
00:48:43.086 --> 00:48:44.988
Fan awards, it's like the word fan is in there.
00:48:44.988 --> 00:48:47.991
And yet it's it's this interesting.
00:48:48.025 --> 00:48:51.061
It's different than any other awards show because like the other award
00:48:51.061 --> 00:48:54.031
Shows are like propping up like the artist, you know what i mean?
00:48:54.031 --> 00:48:57.801
Like, i think the audience is there collectively celebrating
00:48:57.801 --> 00:49:01.171
The like we're worshiping and celebrating what god has done
00:49:01.605 --> 00:49:05.108
And how he's impacting our lives.
00:49:05.108 --> 00:49:06.777
And it's like we're we're fans of the artists and that's good.
00:49:06.777 --> 00:49:10.447
That's a good thing.
00:49:10.447 --> 00:49:11.114
I want my daughters to have positive role models to counter
00:49:11.114 --> 00:49:14.418
The, the, the plethora of, negative role models in the world.
00:49:14.785 --> 00:49:18.956
Like, i think that's a good thing.
00:49:18.956 --> 00:49:20.524
So i don't think the word fan is a bad thing, but
00:49:20.524 --> 00:49:23.460
I think the people come to the kayla fan awards and like,
00:49:23.460 --> 00:49:26.463
We're celebrating on a deeper level, you know what i mean?
00:49:27.030 --> 00:49:30.000
And it's like this collective, thank you, god.
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:32.602
Like that's
00:49:32.602 --> 00:49:33.303
The all in wonder returning of like thank you for what you've done in my life.
00:49:33.303 --> 00:49:37.240
I love celebrating all the new artists that are coming on, like you said, like
00:49:37.341 --> 00:49:40.377
It's just amazing to see there's a lot of good spiritual awakening
00:49:40.677 --> 00:49:44.014
That's taking place.
00:49:44.014 --> 00:49:44.915
And i think people are going to find,
00:49:44.915 --> 00:49:46.450
I think a whole bunch of new people are finding christian music and going,
00:49:46.450 --> 00:49:49.453
Oh, there's something different about that.
00:49:49.720 --> 00:49:51.121
And you hope that they look at our lives, not just our music, and say,
00:49:51.121 --> 00:49:54.358
What's different about you?
00:49:54.658 --> 00:49:55.692
Or let me tell you, come on, let's close it out.
00:49:55.692 --> 00:49:58.261
Right. praise the lord. can
00:49:58.261 --> 00:50:00.197
That came up for an awards isn't just one night.
00:50:01.565 --> 00:50:04.368
It's a whole weekend full of faith, fun, and unforgettable moments.
00:50:04.368 --> 00:50:09.039
From worship filled concerts to exclusive artists, meet and greet and fan
00:50:09.272 --> 00:50:14.311
Gatherings, it's a celebration of all god is doing through christian music,
00:50:14.311 --> 00:50:19.182
Film, books and beyond.
00:50:19.683 --> 00:50:22.652
This weekend brings fans and artists together like family, sharing stories,
00:50:22.986 --> 00:50:27.924
Building community, and lifting up the name of jesus.
00:50:28.191 --> 00:50:31.461
It all leads to one powerful night where faith takes center stage.
00:50:31.695 --> 00:50:35.932
At the k-love fan awards, i'm reading
00:50:36.099 --> 00:50:39.102
God a reason to praise the lord.
00:50:39.669 --> 00:50:45.342
Speaking of songs, is there a song that impacted you
00:50:45.842 --> 00:50:48.678
Right this year?
00:50:48.678 --> 00:50:51.615
Something that's really just kind of.
00:50:51.615 --> 00:50:53.683
Or he's going to pick his own writing 1 in 3
00:50:53.683 --> 00:50:56.586
To do a lot of this brand new song coming out.
00:50:56.586 --> 00:50:59.790
He's going to, it's called one
00:51:00.857 --> 00:51:03.794
Called wonder and oh yeah.
00:51:03.794 --> 00:51:04.895
Oh man.
00:51:04.895 --> 00:51:07.030
You know there's so many there's a long list
00:51:07.030 --> 00:51:09.032
Of great songs that are constantly being released.
00:51:09.032 --> 00:51:12.002
I know for me,
00:51:12.235 --> 00:51:14.304
We're all fathers here.
00:51:14.304 --> 00:51:15.872
There's a lot of kids represented by the dads here, a lot of dad jokes here.
00:51:15.872 --> 00:51:19.576
A lot of kids represented.
00:51:19.609 --> 00:51:21.445
But, yeah, one of you guys mentioned him earlier,
00:51:21.445 --> 00:51:25.015
But my daughter went to forest frank the other night in atlanta, and man,
00:51:25.015 --> 00:51:29.453
I was so
00:51:29.453 --> 00:51:31.655
I think sometimes maybe an artist can see this.
00:51:31.655 --> 00:51:33.957
Young artists that are selling out arena and be maybe upset and going,
00:51:33.957 --> 00:51:38.228
How come i'm not?
00:51:38.228 --> 00:51:39.362
But i'm looking at going, thank god there's this kid, this young guy
00:51:39.362 --> 00:51:44.034
Who's making great music that my little girl, you know, is praising jesus, too.
00:51:44.334 --> 00:51:49.773
And i looked at her at her, my daughter and wife sent some video
00:51:50.140 --> 00:51:54.711
From the night the sabrina's packed out, and every song is lifting up jesus.
00:51:54.711 --> 00:51:59.316
And, you know, there's ten, 12,000 people lifting their hands.
00:51:59.583 --> 00:52:02.886
And i'm just like, i love what we do within the four of us.
00:52:03.286 --> 00:52:06.990
We've known each other for a long time, but there's a genuine friendship.
00:52:06.990 --> 00:52:10.660
Yeah.
00:52:10.760 --> 00:52:11.461
There's a there's a good, like, we challenge and encourage
00:52:11.461 --> 00:52:14.931
Each other to, to get better, but it's not a competition.
00:52:14.931 --> 00:52:18.301
If there is a competition, it's a friendly competition.
00:52:18.301 --> 00:52:21.238
It's not a hey, i have to win, so you have to lose.
00:52:21.238 --> 00:52:24.508
In music, it's like everybody wins.
00:52:24.808 --> 00:52:28.111
And so for me to see somebody like force frank, so many great new artists.
00:52:28.411 --> 00:52:32.249
Yeah.
00:52:32.249 --> 00:52:32.582

Great music that my kids like, like to listen to.
00:52:34.217 --> 00:52:37.220
Man, i just it inspires me, for the future of the church.
00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:42.159
Inspires me for the future of what we do of christian music.
00:52:42.159 --> 00:52:45.162
And what an honor, that we get to be part of it.
00:52:45.495 --> 00:52:47.931

About how christian music has changed our lives.
00:52:53.103 --> 00:52:56.673
Why should everybody tune in?
00:52:56.907 --> 00:52:58.308
But why should everybody to this?
00:52:58.308 --> 00:53:00.010

You're going to wonder why you're going to one.

That's not really.
00:53:18.528 --> 00:53:19.696
You're going to wonder why they chose this.
00:53:19.696 --> 00:53:21.898

And i mean it's just from top to bottom. it's going to be an awesome.
00:53:33.410 --> 00:53:35.745
Is there one thing that's on your mind right now?
00:53:35.745 --> 00:53:37.981
You can't wait.
00:53:37.981 --> 00:53:39.015

Yeah. yeah, that's that's.
00:53:48.959 --> 00:53:50.193
I would say the live

Nativity is a risky idea with the animals on the using the donkey, but that's.
