In our last episode we featured many of our Critics' Panel picks of the best albums from the first half of this year. Now we feature some of the tracks that made our Critics' picks for best individual songs of 2022 so far.

Have some excellent new releases maybe fallen through the cracks for you? We've got your back! The UTR Critics Panel has helped to curate the best faith-based albums released in the first half of 2022, and we share a bunch of those selections on this episode.

We remember and honor the 25th anniversary of the homegoing of Rich Mullins with some songs, reflections, and 2 world premiere songs from the upcoming tribute album 'Bellsburg'

You (our listeners) are in charge of the music, and we play your picks commercial break free.

We are thrilled to showcase music all focused on the cross and the empty tomb - and Dave reveals his favorite song of this year's Easter.

We invite some artists to share stories behind their songs - including The Gray Havens, Mike Farris, Sarah Masen, & more. Plus some brand-spankin-new tracks by The New Respects, Ben Rector, Jill Phillips, & John Mark McMillan.

We have a super-sized episode as we cram in 19 more of the UTR Critics' picks for the best individual songs of 2021. Plus Dave makes a big announcement about UTR's first big event in 2022.
