I'm less of a former Christian and more of a thinks-outside-the-box Christian, but I think Mat Kearney is pretty solid regardless of what you believe. Sufjan Stevens is awesome too, but a bit of an aquired taste.
Sufjan Stevens is pretty amazing, and definitely a unique sound. If you like that sort of thing, I would also recommend Shugo Tokumaru. Sort of similar energy, just in Japanese.
Not christian music per se, but I love Andre Antunes' metal renditions of evangelical preacher speeches. For example:
I Demand with Kenneth Copeland
Bonus: Alex Jones and Rage Against The Vaccine
old gospel/soul and it's dope as hell.
Pretty much all roots reggae, Wailing Souls, Culture, Buju Banton. Reggae answers the question "what if Christian Rock was cool"
Skillet has made some cool stuff, Future of Forestry has made some good Christmas music, and I guess Owl City counts as a Christian band now
Erica Campbell - I Luh God https://youtu.be/4G5BAQhLzMw
Plus, the entire gospel genre.
https://youtu.be/n2FrFBceLuY Jesus on the Mainline. Half of American music is built off Church music.
Flyleaf and Super chick are great female-lead Christian poprock bands that I still can jam out to today.
Honestly some straight up hymns are amazing. The Icelandic Hear Me Smith of Heaven and Russian Do Not Reject Me In My Old Age are my favourites
Piling on, my favorite Russian one is Spaseniye Sodelal (salvation is created): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8BwsZqTyr0
Shivers every time
Thousand Foot Krutch, Skillet.
'Good to Be Alive'
By Geoff Moore and the Distance
John Daker is my hero.
I'm somewhere between an Atheist and a pagan. Gregorian chanting is always cool and "Dies irae" is rad.
A while back I found a cool song about space on Pandora that's apparently by a Christian band but that song didn't give any evidence of that
Extol's "Burial" is one of the greatest metal albums of all time, IMO
Antestor is another killer Christian metal band.
Extol is phenomenal.
Sometimes I stumble upon a random song on Spotify that has a catchy tune, so I save it into a playlist but don't really listen to it until later, and in really hearing the lyrics for the first time, sometimes I'll be like waiting a sec...is this about Jesus/God?
When I was younger I used to listen to Red they has some pretty catchy songs
Run Kid Run for some decent quality pop-punk. Some lyrics more obviously Christian than others.
Does Rasta music count? Because that’s technically a Christian belief system.
If you like 70s acoustic folk/rock, the first album from Lazarus has some great stuff. Their harmonies are amazing. "Warmth of Your Eyes" is my favorite.
