Brandon Lake was the big winner in the 12th annual K-LOVE Fan Awards, which were held at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and broadcast on TBN.

Lake earned top billing in each of the four categories in which he was nominated. Named Artist of the Year for the first time, the South Carolina native also secured his third Male Artist of the Year trophy. Additionally, Lake’s “That’s Who I Praise” and “Hard Fought Hallelujah” (featuring Jelly Roll) garnered Worship Song of the Year and Song of the Year honors, respectively.

Now with nine K-LOVE Fan Awards lining his mantle, Lake ties Lauren Daigle’s record for the second-most-awarded artist in K-LOVE Fan Awards history, behind for KING + COUNTRY. The Australian duo won its 19th golden ‘K’ with their seventh Group of the Year victory.

Meanwhile, CeCe Winans, the most decorated female vocalist in all of gospel music, won the first K-LOVE Fan Award of her illustrious career when fans crowned her the Female Artist of the Year. Newcomer Leanna Crawford also walked away a first-time winner after her inaugural No. 1, “Still Waters (Psalm 23),” was dubbed Breakout Single of the Year.

In the non-music brackets, Matthew West notched his third K-LOVE Fan Award, winning Book Impact for “My Story, Your Glory.” “The Chosen” and “House of David” tallied the most votes in the categories of Film Impact and TV/Streaming Impact, respectively; and Max Lucado’s “Encouraging Word Podcast” emerged as the winner of the Podcast Impact category. Oklahoma Sooners softball coach Patty Gasso was also recognized with the 2025 Sports Impact accolade.
