As contemporary Christian music and gospel singer Koryn Hawthorne explains, the title of her new album Unstoppable goes hand in hand with the story of her life and career.

"I felt like it would be the perfect name," she told CBN News.  "Throughout the course of my life, God has always orchestrated my steps. The purpose that God has over my life is unstoppable and nobody can stop that.  With this album, I want to encourage other people with that. Everybody has a purpose and at this time, it's necessary to find out what your purpose is and be unstoppable in it."
