We Still Rise: When Purpose Outlives Recognition
This year, Soul Food Gospel Radio was nominated for Internet Radio Station of the Year at the Stellar Awards, one of the highest recognitions in gospel music media. We didn't make it through as a finalist.
But today, we are not discouraged—we are more determined than ever.
In fact, this moment is not a setback. It's a statement.
A Nomination That Made History
As far as we know, Soul Food Gospel Radio was the first UK-based station in the Stellar Awards’ 40-year history to ever be nominated in this category. That alone is history. That alone is God.
We represent a global voice in gospel music—built in the UK, powered by the diaspora, and heard across continents. Our nomination wasn’t just a pat on the back. It was a crack in the ceiling—a signal that UK gospel has a seat at the global table.
This Isn’t the End. It’s Evidence.
The trophy may have eluded us, but what we’ve built can't be boxed or measured. Soul Food Gospel Radio has:
Given platforms to new and legendary gospel voices
Uplifted a generation of listeners across the UK, Africa, and the US
Become a cultural bridge between continents through faith and music
So no—we didn’t get called forward. But we haven’t been set back.
We’re Grateful—But Not Dependent on Applause
To every listener, supporter, presenter, and artist who has stood with us:
Thank you.
Your support doesn’t expire with any nomination list.
We’re building legacy—not moments. Movements—not headlines.
What's Next?
We double down.
We raise our volume.
We continue to be the home of great Christian entertainment.
We’ll be launching new interviews, events, and listener features in the coming weeks to celebrate you—our community—and this incredible journey we’re all part of.

Finalist or not—we’re not done. We’re different.
We still rise.
Because purpose outlives recognition.
