Sarah Kroger, Nathan Jess - Belovedness - Live (CCM)


Are you tired of feeling inadequate and alone in your struggles? Have a look at Sarah Kroger's 'Belovedness,' a powerful ballad that reminds us of our worth as children of God.

Initially released on Kroger's sophomore album, 'Light,' during the peak of a global healthcare crisis, 'Belovedness' quickly found a following among those battling mental health challenges. The revisited live version, recorded in a barn-turned-studio in the UK countryside, offers a sweet, intimate take on the song, featuring Northern Irish singer-songwriter Nathan Jess on vocals.

Sarah Kroger, Nathan Jess - Belovedness - LiveKroger wrote the song during a period of personal growth, as she discovered the truth of her identity through reading Henri Nouwen's 'Life of The Beloved.' The lyrics remind us to let go of our past mistakes and the lies we've been told, and to embrace the truth of our belovedness.

This song is not only for the Christian community, it is also for anyone struggling with their identity, looking for a message of healing and hope. 'Belovedness' is a safe place to land and unwind, as Kroger concludes, 'This is who we are, and it’s literally an instruction: be loved.' So take a listen and be reminded of the love and acceptance that awaits you in the arms of our Father.

"Living Proof" by Island Tribe Collective: When His People Unite, Mountains Move

(by Jasper Tan) "Living Proof" by Island Tribe Collective (featuring Sherwin Gardner, Marc Isaacs, and Alicia Taylor) is a live recording of a powerful, high-energy worship anthem that embodies what the collective calls "Caribbean Worship." The group invites us into a celebration of faith, utilizing the culture from the Caribbean islands and how they express it as a living proof of God's goodness. The song talks about our faith and the new beginnings that are promised to us after we overcome our struggles and hardships. Their repeated proclamation of "Lord, I'm living proof" aims to drive down the message that each one of us is already a living proof of God's faithfulness love, and mercy. We all have our own unique faith experiences and stories that could somehow inspire the people around us. So for those of us who have been know for our strong faith, being able to overcome our struggles and testify about it, brings a more concrete testimony an...

"Dancing In Your Light" by Ora Street Mission Band: Shining Through Everyday Acts

Ora Street Mission Band put their finger on something important with "Dancing In Your Light." It's the fact that (as Christians) we don't generate our own light, we reflect God's light. It's like the moon reflecting the sun at night. As Christians, we are called to be lights to the world! The vibe of the song draws from a rich musical palette, inspired by The Police, Weather Report, and Toto, giving the song a contemporary groove that matches the song's present-day message. The song encourages you to come into action. So, what does it look like to live as a bearer of His light? The lyrics try to compare this with a firefly lit from within, and a lighthouse holding firm before a raging sea. Each comparison points to the same truth… His light is given to be shared with others. "If he has illuminated you, then fly and be free!" Jesus declared, "I am the light of the world." This song turns that fact into a call to action. Shine, move, and...

"Green Enough Here" by John Long: Stop Chasing More and Start Living Now

What if the life you already have is actually the life you've been looking for? That's the question that John Long's song, "Green Enough Here", is answering. This song encourages us to take a fresh look at the endless chase in the world today, the one that encourages us to get more and more and more… John invites us to slow down, stay in the present, and find beauty in the ordinary. John doesn't waste time getting to the point: "Don't waste all of your time in the fast lane // Take it easy and learn to love the process." It's a simple message, opposite to what the world is telling us… that a full life is measured by what we have achieved or our status. Contrary to what the world is telling us, it's personal relationships, raising children, staying grounded, embracing the quiet seasons, and listening to God's guidance that matter most. The second verse takes the message a step further. "I'm done letting all my failures hold m...
