A Celebration of Christian Music & Movies! DETAILS HERE:

KLOVE FAN AWARDS

an Encore Presentation

Originally, the KLOVE Fan Awards were filmed May 30, 2021 - at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. I just love that they have church style pews there instead of regular seats. Anyway, the awards first premiered on TV last Friday night; however, they are receiving a special encore presentation tonight, Friday, June 11, 2021 at 8pm Eastern / 7pm Central / 5pm Pacific on TBN, Trinity Broadcasting Network. The show also repeats immediately after the first showing. I personally enjoyed the program so much last week, that I wanted to share it with all of you - just in case you missed it.

One on the awards given at the KLOVE Fan Awards was for FILM and TELEVISION IMPACT. The nominees were A Week Away, Church People, The Chosen, I Am Patrick, and I Still Believe. I thought many of you here would be interested since I know you are passionate supporters of The Chosen. Also, A Week Away is a Christian Musical that stars two actors well known from Hallmark - Bailee Madison (Northpole) and Kevin Quinn (A Christmas Love Story). Actress Erin Cahill (A Timeless Christmas), who we also know well from Hallmark, has a role in the Christian movie, Church People. Tune in to see which production won this category!

The awards show was hosted by Christian Singer/Songwriter, Matthew West. If you're not familiar with him, my favorite songs by West are: The God Who Stays, Hello, My Name Is, The Motions, Day After Christmas, and his new song, Truth Be Told, which he sings in the awards program with Country Artist, Carly Pearce. Their collaboration was fantastic! (Also, you may know Matthew West from a small role he had, along with Candace Cameron Bure, in a Christmas movie that aired on UPtv in 2011 called The Heart of Christmas.)

Other music artists you will see in the program include: Joel Smallbone from for King & Country, Zach Williams, the musical groups Cain, MercyMe, We The Kingdom, and Casting Crowns, Michael W. Smith, Natalie Grant, Danny Gokey, Tauren Wells, Crowder, Riley Clemmons, Andrew Ripp, Kari Jobe, Cory Asbury, and more!

I hope many of you will enjoy the program as much as I did! See where you can find TBN below.

To God Be The Glory!
