          &#xD;

           There are moments in life that divide time into before and after.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
            For Pastor Paul Taylor, one of those moments happened on
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           December 25, 2005
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           —a day that would forever mark his life and calling.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Twenty years ago, in the quiet of his bedroom, God did something extraordinary.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            On a day the world celebrates the birth of Christ, God chose to give Paul Taylor a personal and unforgettable visitation. What began as an ordinary night became the
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           greatest experience of his life
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           —a divine encounter that would reshape his faith, his purpose, and his understanding of eternity.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           That night, God took Paul up to Heaven.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Paul describes being shown around Heaven, experiencing its reality, and hearing God speak directly to him. It wasn’t a dream fueled by imagination or emotion—it was a holy encounter that left no doubt that God is real, present, and deeply personal. In that moment, Heaven was no longer a distant idea or theological concept. It became a living truth.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           God didn’t just reveal Heaven—He revealed Himself.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Through this visitation, Paul encountered the overwhelming love, authority, and faithfulness of God. Words spoken in Heaven carried weight, clarity, and eternal significance. When Paul returned, he was not the same. How could he be? Once you’ve seen eternity, everything on earth looks different.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            This experience didn’t just change Paul’s life—it
           &#xD;

           The years leading up to that moment, the struggles, the questions, the searching—all of it suddenly made sense in light of what God revealed. God proved that night that He is intentional, on time, and deeply involved in the lives of His people. He is not distant. He is not silent. And He is still speaking.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           God is awesome and God is faithful
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           . He still visits His people. He still reveals His glory. And He still calls ordinary men and women into extraordinary encounters that change everything.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           This is more than a story about Heaven.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
            It’s a story about obedience.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
            About transformation.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
            About a God who meets us where we are—and then invites us to see more.

           Because once you hear what God did for Paul…
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
            you’ll never look at Heaven—or your own life—the same way again. &amp;#55357;&amp;#56911;✨

           Faith over fame? Grown and saved reminds christian artists to rethink the clout game.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            ﻿
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;

&lt;div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/2cdf02f6/dms3rep/multi/faith+over+fame.png"/&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The landscape of Christian music is evolving—and Grown and Saved is igniting that change. Rather than adhering to the traditional pursuit of streams, followers, and viral trends, Grown and Saved boldly poses a crucial question: What became of ministry over metrics? This isn’t just a catchphrase—it’s a stirring challenge. SiriusXM has begun airing Von Won’s latest single, “Know You Better,” while Kieran The Light has unveiled two consecutive videos for his Heart and Witchcraft VI, demonstrating that music inspired by the Spirit can reach the audience without compromising its integrity.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           What’s really generating buzz is their latest blog post, which takes a subtle jab at industry gatekeepers who fund Christian artists to embrace secularism. Although specific names aren’t mentioned, the message rings clear: stop diluting the Gospel for the sake of playlist inclusion. And the response from fans has been robust.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Grown and Saved’s comment sections and Instagram stories are buzzing with discussions: Is it truly possible for followers of Christ to achieve viral success without compromise? Are Christian influencers doing enough offline? Should Kingdom music aim to be “industry-ready” or “spirit-ready”? One fan remarked, “This is what we need—music that resonates beyond the charts.”
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Their influence extends beyond music; their attire, Poetry and Praise events, and uncompromising distribution model are cultivating a subculture where authenticity is celebrated.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           Why It Matters Now
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Christian TikTok is on the rise, yet many creators find themselves caught between algorithm pressure and divine anointing. Indie artists are looking for a platform free from censorship of their messages. Meanwhile, listeners crave conviction rather than just polished lyrics.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Takeaway: 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Grown and Saved is not here to engage in the fame game. They are intent on reshaping the narrative—and if this momentum keeps building, 2025 could very well mark the year when the Kingdom reclaims the mic.

           Kieran The Light continues to prove why he’s one of the hardest-working artists in Christian Hip Hop. The Houston-based rapper, originally from Louisiana, has been making waves with his consistent music releases and viral numbers—all without major co-signs or label backing. Yet, his impact on the genre is undeniable.
          &#xD;

      <title>Is The Lebron That Good? Or The NBA That Bad?</title>
      <link>https://www.grownandsaved.com/is-the-lebron-that-good-or-the-nba-that-bad</link>
      <description>Is LeBron James just that great, or has the NBA's competition level declined?</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Is Lebron That Good? Or The NBA That Bad?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/2cdf02f6/dms3rep/multi/LEBRON+SLIDE.png"/&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           LeBron James continues to redefine the limits of athletic performance in the NBA. At 40 years and 38 days old, he scored 42 points, 17 rebounds, and eight assists, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a 120–112 victory over the Golden State Warriors. This achievement makes him the oldest player in NBA history to score at least 40 points in a game, surpassing Michael Jordan's previous record.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           This begs the question: Is LeBron James just that great, or has the NBA's competition level declined?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           LeBron’s Unprecedented Longevity
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           No player in NBA history has sustained such elite production at this stage of their career. Through the first half of the 2024-25 season, LeBron is averaging:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           25.2 points per game (PPG)
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           7.8 rebounds per game (RPG)
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           7.2 assists per game (APG)
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           53.4% field goal percentage (FG%)
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           These numbers not only rival his younger self but also place him among the NBA’s top-tier players today. His ability to still drop 40-point games showcases a unique blend of skill, basketball IQ, and physical maintenance that is nearly unheard of.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Comparing Across Eras
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           LeBron’s dominance at this age naturally sparks comparisons to past greats. At 40, Michael Jordan was averaging 20.0 PPG on 44.5% shooting in his final season with the Washington Wizards. Kobe Bryant, who retired at 37, struggled with injuries in his final years, averaging 17.6 PPG on 35.8% shooting in his last season.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Yet, LeBron continues to perform like a top-10 player in the league, leading his team in scoring, facilitating offense, and remaining a defensive presence.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Is the NBA’s Competition Declining?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Some critics argue that LeBron's continued dominance is a reflection of a weaker NBA rather than his individual greatness. They cite:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Lack of Defensive Physicality – The modern NBA favors offense, with rule changes making it easier for players to score. Hand-checking is outlawed, and defensive three-second violations prevent true paint enforcers from controlling the lane.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Pace and Space Era
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            – With a greater emphasis on three-point shooting and floor spacing, defenses are stretched thinner than in past eras, allowing more driving lanes and open shots for elite scorers.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Load Management and Injuries – Many of today’s top superstars (e.g., Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, and Joel Embiid) frequently miss games due to injuries or rest, making it easier for someone like LeBron to sustain success against a depleted talent pool.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Verdict: LeBron Is Still That Good
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           While the NBA’s evolution has made scoring easier, LeBron’s ability to adapt and remain dominant cannot be overlooked. His efficiency at his age is unprecedented, and his ability to command the game in multiple facets remains elite.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           It’s easy to suggest that a weaker league has enabled his longevity, but the reality is few, if any, players could replicate what he’s doing at 40. The NBA may have changed, but LeBron James remains a generational talent, defying logic and expectations as he continues his legendary career.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           So, is LeBron that good, or is the NBA that bad?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The answer is likely a mix of both, but one thing is certain: LeBron James is still a force to be reckoned with.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Riddle me this. At what point in time, have you been convinced to go somewhere, do something or buy something where the person presenting the opportunity shed a negative light on the very thing they were promoting. I mean imagine yourself walking on a car lot and the salesman says “Yeah, this car is absolutely undependable but it does have the possibility to get you certain places.” I am sure you would walk away in disbelief. This is what I have been in the cut observing.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Why would a Pastor, Artist or Believer get on a platform and shed a negative light on the church? I get it famo, its being transparent or dare I say colloquially, keeping it real. That being said, I must adamantly disagree. I will also double down and say it’s unproductive, sabotage and simply weirdo behavior. Yes, all organizations and even people have positive and negative nuances. However, everything is not for public consumption.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Now I am not eluding to being dishonest or manipulative. I am speaking about using wisdom. I am speaking about putting Matthew 10:16 “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves.”  Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom: And with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: She shall bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her.” Into action.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           I won’t make the broad generalization that they are purposely creating confusion. I have just found that for some reason Christians catch this strange mental fog when speaking to the main stream. I don’t know if its zeal, ignorance or just a lame way of thinking. But I do know this, the pandering has to stop. We as men and women of God are here to love EVERYONE, not be loved by everyone. The truth is a very divisive thing. There will be or already has been a time in your life where you realize telling someone the truth can be an awesome experience or the death of a relationship. Now of course, its your job as the communicator to do so respectfully and clearly. It is not your job to comprehend it for people.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The point I am making is “stand on business” God is not in a popularity contest. He has a word that has stood and will stand. It is our job to stand on it baby!! Represent it well. Live it, learn it and teach it. God’s word has sustained me for over 25 years. I live by it, not perfectly to keep it G with you. But I will die by it undoubtedly. I am born and raised in New" Orleans. Hurricane Katrina sent me to Houston. I raised six kids and went back to college while working a fulltime job. I received a Bachelors in Business and a Masters in Education. I’ve been to jail several times, shot in my face, been hungry, homeless and confused about life.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The one mainstay has been the word and my belief in God. Be steadfast! Be the normal you and speak God’s truth. You don’t have to be extra or overthink it. Our job is to represent well, the rest will be on that person and the Holy Spirit. With that being said if you are a believer, stop saying unnecessary things about the church. You could be truthful, just read the room and apply some tact famo.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           A wise man once said, "If you're not a part of the solution, you are a part of the problem. I came into the "Christian" music genre in April of 2007 after being tazed multiple times by police and surrendering my life to the Lord. I began hosting Christian events and growing in my faith. As a former secular artist, I remember working with other artists and collaborating. If you had the money for a feature, the artist would oblige to working with you. During that time I was blessed to do songs with Bushwick Bill, Lil Keke and Big Pokey. These guys were legends in our city and have respectfully earned their place in hip hip history. When I got saved and began learning who the leaders were in Christian rap, I reached out to artists trying to collaborate on music. I was often met with the response, "we need to build first." Which was actually a catch 22, because how I build with other artists in by making music, but how can we build if you don't want to make a song.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           As years went by I realized these guys didn't care about building. The only thing that was being built was walls between artists and a monopoly on Christian rap that is still guiding the genre of Christian rap today. To go along with this hierarchy and separation was the online platforms that showed an unhealthy amount of favor to the top artists and label in the genre. Not only did the websites adopt this elitist attitude, but even the radio stations, and platforms that celebrated Christian rap. Till this day, for an artist like myself, who's been doing Christian music consistently for 17 years, I have to jump through hoops, spend money and sometimes even beg for one of these websites to simply post my music video or let the world know I have a new song dropping. I've even offered money when they've advertised paid advertising and them just refuse to accept my money.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           With all maturity in my heart I feel I've done a phenomenal job of not name dropping, but anyone who has followed the genre for any amount of time knows exactly who I'm speaking about and can respectively co-sign every thing I have stated. But I'm not hear to be a complainer, I want to make a change. I have a voice, I have a platform, and I'm not hear to be a clout chasing website who won't acknowledge the little guy, the new guy or the up and comer that has talent. The straw that finally broke the camel's back for me was my son Lil Ziggy, 13 years old at the time, releasing his official debut single and video "Don't Get It Twisted," the press release being sent to several of these Christian platforms, and not one of them posting the story or supporting a young man on fire for God. Let's forget it's my son for second. If God gave you a platform and influence, not something you gained on your own, why wouldn't you use it to further this next generation and encourage such a vibrant artist with big dreams to change a generation. Either they are focused on the wrong things or intentionally HATING! I would hate to believe it's the latter. Maybe they're are just too busy. I will give them the benefit of the doubt.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           So ultimately what am I saying? I am looking to invest time and money to make the Grown And Saved platform something that will empower the growth of new artists, not stifle it. We won't play favorites and we won't only post for clicks. We are looking to build a team of writers, story tellers, photographers, videographers, models, DJs and artists that are ready to create something mind blowing and unbiased. Let's lower the amount of clout chasing in this space and increase the amount of kingdom building. If you want to be involved in any capacity, please email dreambig@grownandsaved.com

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           With over a dozen records under his belt and the admirable distinction of writing his own songs and selecting his own production, Lil Ziggy is showing a maturity in music that is beyond his years. It's a speed of creation and consistency that is setting a brand-new pace for the Walwyn family.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Given his age, one might expect his audience to be comprised mainly of peers. But the reality is even more astonishing. He's not only dominating the charts and hearts of the younger generation, but he's also staking a claim as arguably the #1 Christian rapper in the country. His art transcends age brackets, uniting people in faith and melody.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           His burgeoning career isn’t limited to the studio either. Lil Ziggy is taking his gift on the road, with bookings already in Houston and growing interest from cities far and wide. This isn't just a testament to his musical talents, but also to the powerful message he carries with him.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           A recent highlight of his journey was at a 'Friday Night Live' event. Here, Lil Ziggy bravely ventured to quote Romans 10:9, leading not just youngsters but also adults in a heartfelt rendition of the sinner's prayer. It was a room full of hope, faith, and a collective spirit.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           If that wasn't enough, the young sensation has teamed up with his 11-year-old sister, Ariana, crafting a song that echoes the familiar theme of the much-loved "Waymaker". A song that, much like its inspiration, captures the essence of God's spirit and paves the way for Lil Ziggy to step into his role as a preacher.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           It's not a stretch to imagine, given his trajectory and passion, that Lil Ziggy is on the path to becoming one of the most influential Generation Z evangelists. With his music as the vessel, he is poised to lead countless young souls to Jesus, not just in his home country but globally.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            To witness this young prodigy in action, and to provide the youth of your community with a musical experience that promises to be both entertaining and spiritually uplifting, consider booking Lil Ziggy for your next student event. For more information, visit

           Billboard charting gospel artist, Von Won, has released a soul-stirring new music video, "Calling Me." This heartfelt collaboration features the gifted international talent from London, Eli'Sha.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The synergy between Von Won and Eli'Sha is not by chance. The song was birthed after Eli'Sha reached out to Von Won, and together, they crafted a powerful testament to their shared commitment to the gospel. "Calling Me" speaks volumes of their unwavering response to God's call on their lives, emphasizing their dedication to spreading the good news across the globe through their music and preaching.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Both Von Won and Eli'Sha wear multiple hats – not just as globally celebrated artists but also as devoted husbands and fathers. Their lives resonate with authenticity and a passion for living by the principles of the Kingdom. Such commitment to integrity shines through their art and everyday lives.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The "Calling Me" single, brilliantly produced by Eli'Sha, has been making waves under the banner of the Grown And Saved label. Fans and new listeners can find this gem on all major digital platforms as part of the Grown And Saved Family’s "Meet The Family" compilation, which launched earlier this year.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Behind the scenes, the music video is a visual masterpiece thanks to the expertise of Eugene Drake from MPRS Media. The captivating visuals and emotive performances promise to leave an indelible mark on the hearts of all viewers.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           But that's not all that's in store for gospel music aficionados. Von Won's much-anticipated "Grown And Saved" album is all set to bless the airwaves on Friday, December 1st, 2023. Additionally, Eli'Sha is gearing up to share more of his divine artistry with his debut solo album scheduled for release in 2024 via the Grown and Saved label.

           Houston, TX - The exciting world of college basketball will intersect with the spirit-lifting sounds of faith-based music when Von Won takes the stage for the halftime show on "Faith Night" at Rice University's men's basketball game on December 2nd, 2023. Adding to the anticipation and excitement, the event coincides with Von Won's birthday.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           This performance isn't just about a basketball game or halftime show; it signifies a deeper commitment to faith. Von Won, a Rice alumni and All-American track star, is proud to host this night that resonates with spiritual vibes at an institution not primarily recognized for its Christian events.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           In an era when many artists release albums and fade, Von Won is different. Just a day prior, on December 1st, he will unveil his eagerly-awaited album "Grown And Saved". This Faith Night serves as an extension of the celebration of his latest musical offering. "I hope to bring more faith-based events to the campus and show people the value in living 'Grown And Saved'," Von Won remarks, underscoring his mission to marry music, faith, and community engagement.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           But Von Won isn't the only one in the spotlight. Phoenix Walwyn, Von Won’s incredibly talented daughter, will grace the crowd with her vocals, singing the national anthem. Phoenix, already creating ripples in the music scene, launched her EP "Love Languages" earlier this year under the Grown And Saved label, marking her territory as a rising star.
          &#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           This monumental evening promises more than just a game; it's a convergence of sport, faith, and music, a true representation of community spirit.
          &#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The evening will not just echo with the dribbling of the basketball but will resonate with notes of faith, love, and unity. Join the celebration, feel the vibe, and be a part of a night that promises to etch itself in the annals of Rice University's history.
