It is with mixed emotions that we announce TheChristianBeat.org and corresponding socials will be signing off as of November 28, 2025 after 10 years of ministry. The website will remain accessible for a few months afterward, but new/updated content will come to a halt at the end of this month. After much prayer, reflection, and discussion, we have come to a joint decision to step aside from TCB to make more time to focus on our families, health and local churches. We are forever grateful for the Spirit-led experiences of the last decade. It has been a labor of love and true honor to celebrate Christian/Gospel music, share artist stories, and highlight how God is moving through songs that point to Christ. We have said from the beginning that it was never supposed to be about us but rather all about Him. Our prayer is that everything we have posted has pointed people toward Him.
We want to express our heartfelt gratitude first to our readers for all of your support, encouragement, and engagement. We are also so grateful for the relationships we have formed within the industry with our fellow media friends, publicists/managers who have been so kind since day one, and a few of the artists we have been blessed to come to know personally. We are also sincerely grateful to those who have joined our team to help in special efforts over the years.
Although we are stepping aside from our daily operations, we will forever be fans of and supporters for the CCM and Gospel music communities. We encourage you to follow the artists/ministries we’ve covered over the years and continue supporting faith-filled music.
It has been our true privilege to serve the Christian/Gospel music communities, and we will continue to pray for the work being done throughout the industry as we begin our next chapters personally.
God bless,
Herb Longs & Jessie Clarks
