The work the mainstream won't sign has a home here.
HearthLight is curating excellent Christ-centered work from independent artists — musicians, animators, filmmakers, writers, devotional creators, and visual storytellers — whose faith is the standard, not the leash. We honor your work, place it beautifully, and share the fruit fairly.
Especially the artists the mainstream faith networks feature once a year and market to never. If that's you — this was built for you.
Every piece is reviewed for excellence, spirit, and fit. HearthLight programs only work that meets a high standard of beauty, truth, and family readiness.
Artists retain ownership unless a separate signed agreement says otherwise. Submitting work allows review only. Nothing more.
Artists receive 73% of creator-attributed revenue from eligible work placed under HearthLight's creator-revenue framework, subject to the terms of the applicable agreement.
How the creator-revenue framework works
When eligible work placed under HearthLight's creator-revenue framework generates defined creator-attributed revenue, the share attributed to that creator is split to keep the mission healthy and the artist honored.
To the artist
Set aside for charity
Network operations
Artists receive 73% of creator-attributed revenue from eligible work placed under HearthLight's creator-revenue framework, subject to the terms of the applicable agreement. Specific terms, including what qualifies as "creator-attributed revenue," are defined in the individual agreement sent when work is selected. Nothing here creates a binding contract until that agreement is signed.

We welcome independent Christian artists across the full range of what faith can sound and look like — from a reggaeton floor-filler to a hushed evening hymn. If your work is rooted in faith and made with real excellence, we want to see it.
Christian R&B, Afrobeats, hip-hop, reggaeton, gospel, country, pop, worship, singer-songwriter, and original scores — from the loud to the still.

Before you submit
Submitting work gives HearthLight permission to review it for fit. It does not transfer ownership or grant publication, broadcast, sublicensing, monetization, archival, derivative, or AI-training rights unless a separate written agreement says so. Submission does not guarantee review, response, selection, placement, payment, or ongoing participation.
If your work is selected, we'll send a separate agreement outlining rights, term, placement, and revenue share. You are free to decline. You are free to walk away. We believe trust is built through clarity, not pressure.
As we build toward our full schedule, most published work today meets the family-safe standard; broader-range programming opens as our evening and late-night blocks come online. Submit for where your work is headed — we're building those rooms now.
Our content standard
HearthLight programs across dayparts, from morning to late night, and our content standard follows the room. Work for our daytime, kids', and family blocks is held to a family-safe standard (G/PG). Our evening and late-night blocks make room for a wider range of intensity and subject — grief, doubt, lament, and honest testimony — always within our standards and never gratuitous. Tell us where you believe your work belongs, and we'll place it where it can be received well.
All submitted work must be original and rights-cleared. We do not accept content that disparages other believers, denominations, or traditions.
