Jon Guerra’s new album—simply titled ‘Jesus’—is a fresh, timely, personal, and profound musical meditation on Christ.

In recent years, Jon Guerra has emerged as one of the most formidable talents making distinctly Christian music today. He first grabbed my attention with the 2020 release of Keeper of Days, which I called “one of the best Christian records I’ve heard in years.” I praised his 2023 album, Ordinary Ways, as a “God-centered masterpiece.” In the intervening years, Guerra has released an array of stellar singles, EPs, and collaborations (including one of the winning songs in The Gospel Coalition’s recent gospel song contest).
But today, Guerra releases an album—simply titled Jesus—that exceeds the high bar he’s already established. The album’s 12 songs are soul-nourishing and faith-enriching. It won’t top the Christian music charts, but it should. This is Christian music that deserves the largest possible audience.
