Whether you're a lifelong fan, a new listener, or an industry professional, GMR offers a meaningful space to engage with the past, present, and future of this dynamic genre. Built by a team with years of creative and strategic experience in Gospel media, the magazine not only celebrates the music—it amplifies its mission.

THIS OR THAT? • From the mid 1990’s to today, Steve Ladd has sung the high tenor notes of Gospel music. He began with The Anchormen, then went to Gold City and Anthem Edition until becoming a solo artist in 2023. Through each ministry over the years, it’s possible you may already feel like you know him. Well, this month, we’re going to take that knowledge to the next level with our “This or That” column!
