Rudy Currence Receives Honorary Doctorate + Celebrates Two Consecutive #1s

After touring and performing on hundreds of college and university campuses nationwide Rudy Currence has received an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Sacred Music. Granted by The School of The Great Commission.

This recognition is on the heels of Rudy Currence‘s recent second consecutive #1 gospel radio single “No Greater Love” with Chrisette Michele. The single landed on both the Billboard Gospel Airplay and Mediabase Gospel radio charts for 3 weeks. Rudy solely wrote and produced it. The Grammy Nominated Songwriter, and Dove Award-winning producer released the visual for “No Greater Love” last Friday.

“Although ‘cancel culture seems to be a trend, “No Greater Love” reminds us that even after our mistakes and failures, there is still room for grace,” Rudy shared with Billboard. “We’ve all been in need of a second chance and even when we falter, it’s comforting to know that God’s unfailing love is readily available to us.”

Rudy scored his first #1 with “I Belong Here” in 2021. This is his third Gospel Airplay entry. “My Testimony” reached #18 in February 2018. The Atlanta-based singer/songwriter, originally from Rock Hill, South Carolina, also landed on Billboard’s Gospel Songwriters chart for “I Belong Here.” He has penned songs for artists including two that he co-wrote on Lecrae‘s 2012 album Gravity (title track and “Lucky Ones”). The set led Top Christian Albums for two weeks that September.

Rudy Currence and Chrisette Michele are gearing up for an official live music performance video of “No Greater Love” set to be released soon.
