When Lonnie Hunter sat down with Humilitee on Daily Praise Radio, the conversation flowed with the same power and authenticity that defines his music. His latest single, Flow Like a River, has already become a Sunday morning staple, and now it’s riding alongside one of the biggest milestones of his career: his induction into the 2025 Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

A Song for the People: Lonnie Hunter Flow Like a River

explained that Flow Like a River wasn’t created to showcase vocal fireworks but to build an atmosphere of worship.“You don’t just wake up one day and write a song that works everywhere,” he shared. “It comes from experience, from being in different houses of worship. That’s how I knew this song would connect.”

The song is intentionally singable, echoing advice he once received from the legendary Aretha Franklin: people buy what they can sing. With simple melodies and space for choirs or congregations to lift their voices, Flow Like a River is designed to be a worshiper’s song first.

Divine Timing and Industry Impact

Releasing this single in the same year as his Hall of Fame honor feels like divine timing.“With the Stellar Awards hosting, the Hall of Fame, and the new single—it all makes for a strong package,” Hunter admitted.

His promoter, Uncle G, has been instrumental in amplifying the reach of this project, a partnership that stretches back to Hunter’s earliest recordings.

Living Water: The Message

Drawing inspiration from John 7:38, Hunter reminded listeners that living water carries life and power.“When you walk in with living water flowing through you, the atmosphere has to shift to what you bring,” he said passionately.

This message isn’t just lyrical—it’s practical encouragement for believers navigating life’s challenges.

Humilitee’s Perspective

As host Humilitee reminded the audience, Hunter’s consistency has made him a staple in gospel music. Whether on air, in concert, or hosting the Stellar Radio Awards, his presence is marked by energy, authenticity, and excellence.

Closing Word

Before signing off, Hunter left listeners with a charge: stir up the gift within.“Spend time with God, with His word, so when you stir, you’re stirring real ingredients,” he urged.

Fans can follow Lonnie Hunter’s journey and tour dates on his Instagram and Facebook pages, and of course, listen to Flow Like a River wherever worship music is streamed.
