TobyMac & Mandisa Wake Up Artemis II Crew

Tuesday, April 7, 2026 at 11:29 AM

The crew of Artemis II woke up on Day 6 of the mission while approaching the moon to a familiar anthem: “Good Morning” by Mandisa featuring TobyMac. According to updates from NASA, the astronauts were greeted with the upbeat track as part of their wake-up call. Toby and Mandisa joined the all-star list including Chappell Read More

Back on Earth, TobyMac summed it up best:

“Wow, what an honor for me and my friend @mandisaofficial… I know she’s smiling up there right now! #songinspace”

It hits a little deeper knowing Mandisa’s voice is now quite literally echoing through space.

Released in 2011 from What If We Were Real, “Good Morning” has long been one of CCM’s most enduring crossover hits—RIAA Gold-certified, a radio staple, and now, officially… interplanetary. With over 100 million streams and hundreds of millions of social views, the song has already had serious reach, but this took the track to the moon.

Wilson performed the National Anthem ahead of the launch, a moment she later called “the most special day of my entire career.” In a deeply personal reflection, she shared that she once dreamed of becoming an astronaut and working for NASA before life took her down a different path. Standing there, watching Artemis II prepare for its journey, she described the moment as overwhelming, a reminder that “God writes stories far greater than we could ever imagine.”

CCM Spotlight: Point of Grace

As a lifelong fan, there’s something powerful about sitting across from Point of Grace in this season of their lives. Not because they’re trying to prove anything. Not because they’re chasing what once was. But because, after decades of music, ministry, motherhood, and life, they’re finally saying exactly what they were meant to say all along. And they’re doing it together. After 14 years they have returned with Read More
Third Day Tour Review: ALL HITS, NO MISSES

I’m typically protective of what would be considered spoiler territory, but given that Third Day has advertised this tour as “all the hits,” there’s really not much to spoil from a setlist perspective.
