Favorite 10 TobyMac Songs Of All Time
Every time I hear a TobyMac song I immediately begin to smile and I am encouraged. I love the upbeat, energetic music and the meaningful lyrics. Before becoming well known as TobyMac, Toby (Kevin) McKeehan brought Christian rap to mainstream music with DC Talk. Fans were shocked when the group comprised of Toby, Michael Tait and Kevin Max Smith disbanded on the peak of their popularity. Although I would love to see the four Christian singers come back together, they have each followed incredible paths and blessed many people. TobyMac’s first solo album was Momentum in 2001, which was nominated for a Grammy.

10 Great Slow Christian Worship Songs
I love worship songs that are fast and considered energy, but I also love slower worship songs. You have time to think about each word you are singing and let the message sink in. Many worship services at church incorporate slow Christian worship songs because worship is not about rushing through the service or singing as many songs as possible. Try focus on letting the words pour over you with each beat next Sunday or the moments you take to worship God.
