Anne Wilson
Anne Wilson has quickly established herself as one of the distinctive voices in contemporary Christian music, bringing together her Christian faith, Kentucky roots, and a country-influenced sound that feels both authentic and personal. Her breakthrough came with “My Jesus,” a song that introduced her to a worldwide audience with a simple but powerful invitation to tell others about the Savior who had transformed her own life. The song became a defining Christian-music hit and established Wilson as an artist to watch.
What makes Anne particularly compelling is the way she has continued to grow beyond the expectations created by her debut. Her music increasingly embraces the sounds and storytelling traditions of country music while never losing sight of its Christian foundation. That combination has allowed Wilson to reach listeners who might not ordinarily spend much time listening to contemporary Christian music, while giving longtime Christian-music fans an artist whose songs remain firmly centered on faith, hope, and the goodness of God.
Anne’s journey has also included support and collaboration from established artists in Christian music. Her relationship with Mark Hall and Casting Crowns is a good example of that artists-helping-artists tradition, with Anne joining the band on the road and collaborating with them musically. Those opportunities have given a rising artist the chance to learn, grow, and reach new audiences while working alongside musicians with decades of experience.
Wilson’s continuing musical evolution is especially evident in her newest material. Her recent collaboration with country artist Drew Baldridge on “Maker’s Mark” demonstrates her ability to move naturally between Christian and country audiences without compromising the faith that has always been at the center of her music. The result is an artist who can speak authentically to listeners in both worlds while continuing to make music that points back to what matters most to her.
For FishWorship, Anne Wilson represents something especially encouraging: an artist who isn’t afraid to bring her faith into places where Christian music and mainstream country increasingly overlap. Whether she’s singing directly about Jesus, telling stories rooted in her Kentucky upbringing, or collaborating with artists from different corners of the music world, Anne continues to demonstrate that Christian music doesn’t have to fit into just one sound—or one audience.

“Maker’s Mark” — Anne Wilson & Drew Baldridge
Anne Wilson’s collaboration with country artist Drew Baldridge on “Maker’s Mark” is a great example of why FishWorship doesn’t believe Christian music has to be confined to a particular genre or musical format. The song is unmistakably faith-centered, even though it is presented as a country song rather than a traditional contemporary Christian release. Its message is about living with purpose, loving others, leaving something meaningful behind, and ultimately pointing people toward Jesus.
That distinction is important to us. FishWorship is about Christian music, but Christian music isn’t limited to songs released on Christian radio or albums categorized as Christian. When an artist takes a genuine Christian message into another musical audience, we think that’s something worth celebrating—not something that needs an apology or an explanation. “Maker’s Mark” does exactly that, bringing Anne’s unmistakable faith perspective into a country setting alongside Baldridge.
The collaboration is also a natural fit for Anne Wilson. Her Kentucky roots and country-influenced sound have always been part of her musical identity, and “Maker’s Mark” gives her an opportunity to connect with a broader country audience without stepping away from the faith that defines her music. For FishWorship, that’s precisely the kind of musical boundary-crossing we want to recognize.
So we’re pleased to feature the official music video for “Maker’s Mark” as Anne Wilson’s Artist of the Week featured video. It’s a reminder that sometimes the most interesting Christian music isn’t found by looking for a particular genre label—it’s found by listening for the message.

🎬Bonus Video
“My Jesus”
Calling this a Bonus Video simply doesn’t do it justice. “My Jesus” is the song that introduced Anne Wilson to the world and remains the defining recording of her early career. Its message is direct, personal, and unmistakably Christian: this isn’t simply a song about faith as an idea, but a testimony about knowing Jesus personally and wanting other people to know Him too.
The song’s extraordinary impact helped establish Wilson as one of the most important new voices in contemporary Christian music. “My Jesus” connected with listeners because it didn’t try to make faith complicated. Instead, Wilson sings about a Savior who is present in the middle of ordinary life, someone who meets people where they are and changes them from the inside out.
The official music video captures that same spirit. Rather than treating “My Jesus” simply as a career-making single, it presents the song as a declaration of faith—the kind of message that explains why Anne Wilson’s music belongs on FishWorship in the first place.
So yes, we’re calling this one a Bonus Video. But for anyone discovering Anne Wilson for the first time, we’d suggest starting here. This is the song that began the story.
