Loudbrook - Light Cancels Darkness



Loudbrook, consisting of husband and wife team Bryan (writer) and Melissa (singer) Lautenbach has released their brand new 15 song album 'No More Night'.

This album mixes together rock, indie and pop together.

The song more "Light Cancels Darkness" is a real joy to listen to... and I encourage you to also listen to the other songs on the album.

What also makes this album interesting is the fact that the album was funded on Kickstarter to help finish everything and to help re-launch the band Loudbrook through its release. (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1621205076/loudbrook-no-more-night-over-15k-in-21-days)

The songs on this album tell the true story of Bryan and Melissa Lautenbach, of following Jesus Christ out of their personal night, supported by a caring community of friends. Bryan and Melissa believe life is better lived in community with others: to love and be loved back, to be known for who we really are and not for who we may pretend to be. To celebrate joy together and carry each other through the hard times. And sometimes, let's be honest, both the joy and the hard times can take your breath away.

Bryan and Melissa fought challenges they never thought they would have to face, and in the face of everything, they encountered the transformational light of God, who brought them out of their dark night by the blood of Jesus Christ--but they had to believe God.

The overall concept of the album is light. To communicate and play light. Bryan and Melissa believe No More Night is full of God’s heart for you and the world!
"For God rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves." - Colossians 1:13

"He Knew" by Krystal Dawn Land: The Cost Christ Chose Before the Cradle

Jesus knew everything, and He came anyway! Let’s go back to the birth of Jesus, a newborn lying in the manger, part of a larger plan and fully aware of where His path would end before He came to earth. Krystal Dawn Land’s song, “He Knew”, opens with a question that stops you cold, especially if you consider how you would respond: “What if He knew? What if He saw? What if He knew the pain He’d face to give it all?” This isn’t idle speculation. The song walks through the full arc of Jesus’ story, “from the cradle to the cross” , and insists that nothing that happened caught Him off guard. He saw the betrayal coming. He saw the doubt, the walking away, “some would not believe, some would walk away.” And still, as Krystal sings, “He did… He knew all along. He still came… to right every wrong.” That kind of foreknowledge changes how we read Isaiah 53:3–5, where the prophet describes the Messiah as “despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows.” Jesus wasn’t ambushed by suffering. He wal...

"What A Savior" by Will & Jacinta Ellis and Crossing Life Worship: Never Growing Numb to Grace

Have you ever grown numb to a miracle?  “What A Savior” by Will & Jacinta Ellis and Crossing Life Worship began as a chorus in a co-write, before it took on a life of its own. Will & Jacinta wanted something rich and almost hymn-like, a bold declaration of who Jesus is — not a tired restatement, but a fresh look. They never wanted to grow “used to” what Jesus accomplished, so they wrote about holding on to Him in every season, regardless of whether it’s calm or chaotic.  The opening lines start with the redemption through Jesus’ blood: “The precious fount, that cleansing flow, the Son of God poured out for all.” That’s the blood that Jesus spilled for you. The song moves from the cleansing through His blood to the result: “The debt I owed and all sin’s claims were buried with You in the grave.” Your debt. Buried. Gone.  Here’s where it gets even more personal. Romans 5:8 says, “God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” ...

"Hallelujah Anyway" by Zach Garrett: Praise That Doesn't Wait for the Storm to Pass

What if worship doesn’t require having answers? Storm clouds hide the stars. The road stretches on with no map and no end in sight. That’s the world Zach Garrett describes in the opening lines of “Hallelujah Anyway,” and if you’ve walked through a season of loss or confusion, you already recognize the setting. Zach wrote this song from inside real darkness, in his case, a stretch of loss, hurt, and unanswered questions that didn’t resolve on his timeline. Zach’s message is that we don’t need to wait for clarity before we choose to worship. Like Zach, we may need to make that choice daily, sometimes hourly, possibly even through gritted teeth. The bridge describes a common misconception: “I used to think that faith meant having all the answers, that doubt was just a sign I wasn’t strong enough to stand.” How many of us carry that same lie? We assume that real faith looks certain, steady, unshaken. We get confused when it isn’t! Zach flips the definition of faith: “Maybe trusting You me...
