Xander Sallows, Sam Bowman - fake strong (CEDM)

Xander Sallows, Sam Bowman - fake strong
Xander Sallows and Sam Bowman have released a Christian EDM (CEDM) track called 'fake strong'.

Sam Bowman shares: "It's been so long since I was truly vulnerable.

My friend Xander Sallows and I are proud to present our brand-new EP, "fake strong." We had such a great time putting our heads together to dream up this project. If you count "Daydream," we spent over a year working together to finish it, which is kinda insane. The EP features three brand-new songs, and three other songs that definitely are not new but hopefully you will ignore that and still listen maybe? That'd be really nice if you wanted?

We hope "fake strong" encourages you. Both of us definitely have had the theme of vulnerability on our hearts over the past year. This EP explores that idea a lot. It's hard to let others know when you're not doing well. We want to look strong. However, that's just not reality all the time. The truth is that we're people. And people are needy- needy of Jesus. We hope this little group of tunes points you to the rest you can experience when you're united to Him."

"King, Lamb, Lion" by Ben Jero & Graham Guy: When the World Runs Dry

What happens when the world just isn’t enough?  In early 2025, Graham Guy was reading Revelation chapter 4. The picture of heaven gathered around the throne — declaring God holy and worthy of praise — planted the seed for this song. Three words surfaced from that moment: “King, Lamb, Lion.” Graham sent them to Ben Jero, and across a string of FaceTime calls between South Carolina and California, the song “King, Lamb, Lion” took shape.  The opening verse doesn’t pretend. “I’ve tried this world, but it won’t fill me,” the lyric admits, before landing at surrender: “My life laid down, at your feet.” That’s honest territory. Most of us have chased something we thought would satisfy, only to find ourselves empty-handed. The song changes our focus to lasting results. “The old is gone, the new has come,” it declares, repeating a promise found in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Notice what that ...

"Stand By Me" by Daniel Aranda: Finding Steadiness in Life's Storms

Who’s standing with you in the storm? “Stand By Me” by Daniel Aranda is an amazing rendition of a hymn written by Charles Albert Tindley in 1905. Tindley was the son of a former slave, a man who knew what it meant to need help that wasn’t guaranteed. He didn’t write from comfort. He wrote from the middle of a fight, and that’s exactly why the song is still so relevant and cherished by many today. Daniel Aranda’s recording brings gospel legends Terry Blackwood and Charlie McCoy into that same lineage, carrying Tindley’s plea forward into a new generation.  The lyrics move through life’s troubles, one verse at a time. “When the storms of life are raging, stand by me”  — that’s not poetic exaggeration. Tindley’s first verse is about a ship tossed on open water, powerless against the waves. Then verses about failing strength, friends who misunderstand your best efforts, persecution, and the song ends with a verse about old age creeping toward “chilly Jordan.” Each of the verses names ...

"Returning - Live" by Victory House Worship: Waiting with Fire in Our Lamps

“Returning — Live” by Victory House Worship makes us aware that all of creation seems to hold its breath. “The earth is groaning for redemption, Creation reaches for Her King.” That’s the present-day reality that the apostle Paul described centuries ago, and Victory House Worship beautifully captures that in this song. The lyrics don’t dwell only on what Jesus already did at the cross; it looks forward. “The oil in our lamps is burning, For Him who was and is and is returning.” That line carries the whole weight of our Christian hope: Past, present, and future, all coming together in One. Jesus! The bridges elaborates on this hope, comparing His first coming with His second coming. “Though You came as a Lamb, You’ll return as a Lion.” Gentleness gave way to sacrifice once. With His next coming, sacrifice will give way to triumph. Romans 8:22–23 describes the groaning: “the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now… waiting eagerly for adoption as...
