For pop artist Ashlee Keyton, sharing the gospel comes through not only his lyrics, but the music itself. As Keyton himself says, "Music also has a voice," and you can really hear this dedication. 
 Another aspect of Keyton's ministry is to help people overcome adversity and pain caused by depression. Instead of writing some sort of self-help book of a song, he opts again for simplicity, sharing some of his own struggles with faith. He recounts times when he felt out of touch with God; a verse in his song “Trying To Hold On” says, "Keeping my eyes closed, just wanted peace / wish I could erase it / been here for a long time, down on my knees / whatever to make it." 
 Ashlee Keyton is clear on what he desires for listeners to receive. “I pray that when my music is heard a revelation will come not only from the words, but also from the music. Music also has a voice. When they hear it I want them to gain passion for doing whatever it takes to reach truth. I just want people to listen and learn how to truly love each other, because knowledge and prophecies shall cease but Charity shall never fail.”
