From “BREAKOUT” magazine, Jan ‘26, by Scott Fehrenbacher

In today's Christian music landscape-where algorithms, playlists, and formulas often shape what rises to the surface—few artists stand out by choosing a quieter, more intentional path. CLINE is one of those rare exceptions.

Rooted in faith, family, and the local church, CLINE offers music that feels less like a product and more like a companion-songs written not just to be heard, but to be prayed, sung, and lived. Their work blends musical excellence with spiritual depth, reminding listeners that Christian music, at its best, serves as ministry first and art second.

From Roots to Revelation: The Origin of CLINE
The story of CLINE begins long before their emergence in Christian music. For years, they built a successful career in the country music world, touring extensively and sharing stages with artists such as Dylan Scott and Luke Bryan. Life on the road was steady. the trajectory promising, and the future seemingly well-defined.

Then came COVID.

As touring abruptly stopped, the silence created space for reflection-space to ask deeper questions about calling, purpose, and obedience. Removed from the constant rhythm of the road, the members of CLINE found themselves listening more intently to what God was stirring in their hearts. What began as a pause became a turning point.

Without the support of a record label, a manager, or a radio team, CLINE stepped into Christian music not as a strategic career move, but as an act of faith. Supported and encouraged by their local church in Bowling Green, Kentucky, they began writing songs that reflected Scripture, prayer, and personal devotion rather than industry expectations. That decision reshaped not only their sound, but their mission.

Rather than chase Nashville formulas, raw expression became central to their music-honest lyrics, unguarded emotion, and worship that flows naturally from lived faith. What emerged was not a reinvention, but a revelation: a calling to serve the Church through music.

A Sound That Speaks the Truth
Musically, CLINE occupies a unique and refreshing space.

Drawing from worship, modern country, Americana, and Southern gospel influences, their sound is both accessible and rooted. Warm instrumentation, organic arrangements, and unfiltered vocals allow the lyrics to take center stage.

Lyrically, their songs are theologically grounded yet deeply personal-echoing the language of the Psalms and the real struggles of everyday believers. Tracks like "Worthy One" (featuring country artist Mo Pitney) and "He Is" resonate for their Christ-centered clarity, while songs such as "We Follow Jesus" and "Lord of Heaven" function as declarations of faith and surrender.

Whether sung congregationally or experienced in quiet personal devotion, CLINE's music invites listeners into worship that is both intimate and communal-anchored in truth and marked by reverence.

Ministry Over Platform
At the heart of CLINE's identity is a commitment to ministry over platform. They are not driven by trends, radio metrics, or viral moments. Instead, their focus remains on writing songs the Church can actually use-songs that equip worship leaders. encourage pastors, and walk with believers through every season of life.

Their connection to the local church is not symbolic; it is foundational. Many of their songs are written, tested, and refined within real worship environments before being released publicly.

This church-first approach ensures their music is not only artistically compelling, but spiritually practical and Spirit-led.

Digital Discipleship and a Growing Reach
While grounded locally, CLINE's impact continues to expand globally through digital platforms. Their growing presence on streaming services and YouTube allows them to share music, lyric videos, and testimonies that reveal how their songs are being used-for healing, prayer, family devotion, and spiritual renewal.

What sets CLINE apart online is not simply production quality, but posture. Every release is approached as an opportunity to serve someone's faith journey, recognizing the unique ability of music to open hearts to the Gospel.

A Family That Worships Together
Behind the name CLINE is a family that believes worship is not confined to a stage-it is a way of life. Their shared faith and close-knit dynamic create a depth of harmony, trust, and spiritual unity that is evident in every song.

This is a family that prays together, writes together, and worships together-modeling what it looks like to integrate faith, family, and ministry. Their story offers a compelling picture of intergenerational discipleship and the quiet power of obedience lived out daily.

Looking Ahead with Purpose
As CLINE continues to write, record, and release new music, their mission remains unwavering: to exalt Christ and serve the Church. Upcoming projects will build on their foundation of Scripture-driven worship, live recordings with congregations, and collaborations with like-minded artists who share their heart for ministry.

In a music culture often driven by platforms and personalities, CLINE offers a different witness-one that points consistently back to Jesus. They remind us that worship is not about visibility. but faithfulness, and that the most enduring songs are those born from surrender.

For churches seeking fresh, Spirit-led music and for believers longing for worship that speaks honestly to real life, CLINE offers more than a sound-they offer a ministry.
