The best place to hear Christian music is at your church where it is always free and they have comfortable chairs and air conditioning. The second best place to hear Christian music is in your car and I love to hear 97.3 and 88.3 in my car. If people listened to Christian music in their car we wouldn’t have people cutting us off in traffic and road rage. You can find free Christian music on YouTube. One of my favorite music is Rachel Chapman singing “This Blood.” While Rachel sings you can clearly see she loves Jesus. I like to hear Guy Penrod sing “The King is Coming.” I really like to hear Zack Williams and Dolly Parton sing, “There was Jesus.” Zack Williams will sing a concert at Freedom Hall in Johnson City on October 9, 2021. Also, the Christian group For King & Country will put on a concert on October 30, 2021 at Freedom Hall in Johnson City. Any of these Christian concerts would be good to take your children to and church youth groups.
