Don\u2019t you just love doing those \u201c30 Day\u201d challenges? Movies, music, all sorts of fun stuff. We thought it would be fun to do one here on the Gospel Soundcheck blog, but with one noteable difference: every 7 days, you get to sing!<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s right! Once every 7 days there\u2019s an INTERACTIVE CHALLENGE where you\u2019re invited to videotape yourself singing the song you pick. Upload the video to your YouTube account and then\u00a0post the link in the comment section on\u00a0that day’s post. We\u2019ll pick some of our favorite videos to feature on the blog and in the Beliefnet Entertainment newsletter. (If you’re camera shy, just post your answer the same way as always. But really, don’t you want to sing?)<\/p>\n

If you’ve never done one of these, it’s really simple. Click the link to the day you’re answering, and leave a comment on that day’s post. (For example “Day 1: All time favorite Christian song or hymn – Amazing Grace”) Start anytime with Day 1 and work through the 30 days. Remember that\u00a0links to\u00a0video answers for the interactive challenges\u00a0have to be posted\u00a0on that day\u00a0to possibly be featured on the blog or in the newsletter.<\/p>\n

Don’t worry if you’re starting the challenge days or weeks after everyone else. It’s an ongoing thing – that’s what makes it fun!<\/p>\n

Ready? Let’s play!<\/p>\n
