The K-LOVE Fan Awards is an offshoot of the K-LOVE radio network and aims to create a fan experience that "celebrates and promotes artists, athletes, authors, and entertainers who, with excellence, engage and impact popular culture for Jesus Christ." In 2016, K-LOVE and John Sanders, LLC/Edion Events were honored with two Emmy Awards in the categories of Lighting and Set Design as a result of the K-LOVE Fan Awards show, which was co-created by John Sanders, David Pierce, and Steve Strout.
