In an interview with Fox News, Lakewood Church co-pastor Victoria Osteen gave her perspective on how younger audiences are contributing to this explosion for Christian music.

“I think music does something to your soul,” says Osteen. “Right now, I think people are wanting to be uplifted, good news…I think there’s really enough bad news, and this uplifting music is drawing the young; it’s drawing us all.”
“It’s a way to express yourself when you don’t always have the words,” she continues. “You can sing these songs, [and] express your gratitude to God.”
Osteen’s daughter helps lead praise and worship at Lakewood Church, and her song also writes music. She says that it is through power of music that she saw her children transformed by God.
“That’s how my kids really got involved. They got involved in Lakewood music, and that’s kind of where they grew up,” says Osteen.
She also noted that while there is beauty in older worship music, there is something unique about what we are seeing today.
