New Indie Christian Artists Offered Music Platform through Breakout E-Magazine

Breakout is free, and the first issue can be perused here.

"Breakout isn't just a magazine—it's a movement and community to feature, celebrate, and elevate voices that might otherwise go unheard, as it is nearly impossible for an artist to get their music on traditional Christian radio or playlists," Scott Fehrenbacher, CEO of Worship Road Radio, told the Christian Newswire. "Our heart is to connect fans with the next generation of talented Christian artists who are carrying the message of faith, hope, and worship into the world in fresh and powerful ways."

The Worship Road Radio Offers Christian Music Nationally and Internationally 

As for The Worship Road Radio, the Vancouver internet radio station functions as a non-profit national Christian radio station that plays exclusively ad-free Christian music. It can be accessed anyplace where the internet is available.

"We're building the first national radio Christian community in Canada using worship to unify the Church in a divided and unstable world," according to The Worship Road Radio website.

The Worship Road boasts of being "Canada's first and only national Christian radio station," and takes its inspiration from Matthew 7:14, "But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." 

Its mission is to "fill a vital void in Canadian broadcasting." Canadian Christians definitely need the encouragement of Christian media and Christian publications because it's becoming increasingly more difficult for Canadian Christians to express their deeply held Christian beliefs in the public square.  

Canadian Christians Jailed for Expressing Traditional Views of Marriage and Sexuality

In general, Canada's Constitution allows for "Freedom of conscience, religion, thought, belief, opinion, expression, and the right to equal protection and benefit of the law without discrimination based on religion." According to the U.S. Department of State 2023 Report on International Religious Freedom: Canada. 

However, a few years back, Canada passed Bill C-4, which makes it a crime for its citizens, Canadian parents, and Christian leaders to express traditional views of marriage and sexuality, or even offer any spiritual guidance about it. If this law is violated, it can mean up to 5 years in jail, according to The Washington Times. 

Canadian pastor Arthur Pawlowski was "jailed multiple times for holding worship services, expressing his religious views, and speaking out against government dictates," according to First Liberty. 

He's noted as one of many who have been imprisoned, and/or had their facilities shut down, endured hefty fines, and had continual harassment from government officials.

U.S. Christian singer-songwriter-preacher-missionary Sean Feucht told CBC Radio Canada last month that, "To publicly profess deeply held Christian beliefs is to be labeled an extremist, and to have free worship events is classified as a 'public safety risk'"

During the month of August, Feucht had six separate venues across the provinces of Canada cancel his free, public outdoor worship events. He was able to get one of them moved to a private, indoor venue.
