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.

Who were your favorite female Christian rock artists?

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.
