Petra could imply Rock, but when there’s one factor that may get Christian music followers spinning quicker than a Duncan Phillips drum solo, it’s debating who belongs on the Mount Rushmore of CCM. And not too long ago, CCM Journal lit up X (previously Twitter) with that very query: “Who’s in your Mt. Rushmore of CCM? I’ll begin…”—accompanied by a GIF of none aside from Carman from Devil, Chew the Mud glory. The submit shortly took on a lifetime of its personal, racking up lots of of responses.

One of many standout moments? TobyMac himself jumped into the chat, playfully thanking CCM Journal for making him the “first” spot on the mountain. However the feedback saved rolling, with followers passionately making their circumstances for legends like Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, DC Discuss, Steven Curtis Chapman, Audio Adrenaline, Kirk Franklin, and even CCM Originals like Keith Inexperienced, Larry Norman, and Wealthy Mullins. Some threw in wild playing cards— Stryper, Casting Crowns, Lecrae, and Skillet. CCM historical past isn’t one-size-fits-all.
It’s no shock that this dialog hit a nerve. CCM is extra than simply music—it’s the soundtrack to private religion journeys, youth group street journeys, and that one VBS music you continue to know by coronary heart. Whether or not you grew up on Place in This World or Jesus Freak, your Mount Rushmore says loads about your musical DNA. And let’s be actual—whittling it down to only 4 names? Virtually unimaginable.
So, now it’s your flip! Who’s on YOUR Mount Rushmore of CCM? Drop your picks within the feedback and let the controversy proceed. Will your decisions stand the take a look at of time, or will somebody hit you with a “What in regards to the Supertones?” Let’s hear it!
