Who's Hosting
Rhett Walker returns as host - making him the first repeat host in the history of the We Love Christian Music Awards. Walker, whose own music has been a staple of Christian radio for over a decade, brings both industry credibility and genuine fan connection to the broadcast. He knows this world from the inside.
The Artists With the Most to Win Tonight
Three names have dominated the nomination conversation all season - and tonight, one of them is likely walking away as the big story.
Josiah Queen entered this awards season as arguably the hottest name in Christian music. His album Mt. Zion topped Billboard's Top Christian Albums chart, "Dusty Bibles" became one of the most-streamed Christian songs of the year, and his three nominations here reflect a year that few artists in any genre could match. A sweep tonight would cement his status as the defining new voice of 2025-2026 Christian music.
Zach Williams is no stranger to this stage. Three nominations for an artist with his track record means the voters haven't forgotten about him - and in a fan-driven awards show, loyalty matters. Williams has one of the most passionate fanbases in all of Christian music.
for KING & COUNTRY round out the top tier with three nominations of their own. The Australian brothers have been among the most decorated artists in Christian music for the better part of a decade, and their ability to blend arena-scale production with deeply personal faith has never been more refined than it was this past year.
The Category to Watch: Next Big Thing
The broadcast will also showcase live performances from several nominees in the fan-favorite Next Big Thing category - including SAPHIRE, Psalms of David, Presence Music, and Josh Bissell. Thi Jubileecasts is the category that launches careers. Whoever wins tonight gets a spotlight that can change the trajectory of their entire ministry.
Why This Awards Show Is Different
The We Love Christian Music Awards aren't voted on by a committee of industry executives. The winners are chosen directly by Christian music listeners around the world - fans who stream the songs, attend the concerts, and champion their favorite artists every single day. That distinction matters. When your favorite artist wins tonight, it is genuinely because people like you put them there.
The awards span 13 categories covering the full breadth of Christian music - from worship to hip-hop, pop to Southern Gospel. Fourteen years in, this show has become one of the most trusted barometers of what Christian music fans actually love - not just what the industry pushes.
