Audio By Carbonatix

Christian music duo Caleb & John join GodTube Music’s Brandon Woolum on the red carpet at the 2026 K-LOVE Fan Awards in Nashville to talk about their new single, “Proud,” featuring Christian music legend Steven Curtis Chapman.

Inspired by the story of the prodigal son, “Proud” reminds listeners that God’s love is not based on earning His approval, but on belonging to Him through Jesus. Caleb & John share the heart behind the song and the hope they want it to bring to anyone who feels held back by their past.

The duo also reflects on a memorable night at the Grand Ole Opry, where they performed “Proud” with Steven Curtis Chapman and received the surprise invitation to return for their official Opry debut. They discuss how the collaboration came together, meeting country music icons backstage and what it has meant to learn from Steven’s humility and legacy.

Caleb & John also tease more new music coming this fall before heading inside to present at the K-LOVE Fan Awards.
