If you're a girl who grow up in a Christian environment in the 2000s, you knew how empowering it was to see women sing boldly about their faith. Heck, even if you were a guy who grew up in the early 2000s in a Christian environment, you probably learned from these ladies what a godly woman looks like and developed crushes on them. Here are 5 top queens of Christian rock.

1. Lacey Sturm-Flyleaf

The lyrics to both her Flyleaf songs and her solo songs ranged from the attributes of God to the body of Christ to false prophets to what godly loved looks like. She's now an author and motivational speaker with a super inspiring testimony. Her first solo studio album, "Life Screams," came out in February 2016.

2. Tricia Brock-Superchick

Superchick was the perfect mix of girl power and God power. Their songs showed the true strength and beauty of a girl after God's own heart willing to follow her dreams. Even though Superchick has sadly broken up, you can still listen to Tricia's solo albums "The Road" and "Radiate."

3. Dawn Michele-Fireflight

Remember Fireflight with their sick rock anthems like "Unbreakable" and "For Those Who Wait?" Fireflight's latest album "Innova" came out in 2011.

4. Korey Cooper-Skillet

I always loved her soft, feminine vocals in contrast with her husband John's deep, rock growls. This contrast has been a staple in Skillet's music since she joined the band to help with the "Invincible" album which came out in 2000.

5. Sara Anthony-The Letter Black

This Christian rock queen is a less popular band than the others, but hopefully, your ears have been blessed by their music. She and her husband Mark Anthony have a similar style to John and Korey Cooper vocally, except in The Letter Black, Sara Anthony is the lead vocalist. I'd recommend their album "Hanging on by a Thread," but they're working on a Kickstarter campaign for their third studio album expected to be released in summer 2017.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
