"Hiding Place (Live)" by DBU Chapel Worship: Forgiven, Covered, and Free

How often do you hear worship songs being sung live in the comforts of your day-to-day living? For sure, there are a dime a dozen. Some you commonly share with the person next to you, featuring songs by popular Christian Artists. But there's a certain form of unique sincerity when one discovers a worship song that is yet to break through to a larger audience. This is how the song "Hiding Place" by DBU Chapel Worship featuring Olivia-Grace McKern felt like when I first listened to the song. It felt like a new testimony being told, of one's dedication to find God and remain in his presence.  Taking root from Psalm 32, the song is a collaboration of Olivia with a host of songwriters from the DBU Chapel Worship.

"Why Can’t I Believe" by H.U.G.E.: Help Me Overcome Unbelief

H.U.G.E.'s "Why Can't I Believe" is a reflective gospel visual that explores the struggle between doubt and faith. It feels like an honest journal entry put to music. The artist knows that God stays with us to the end, and His power is unlimited. But there is a world of difference between clear promises and a shaky heart.  The lyrics keep circling one honest question that will be all too familiar for most listeners… "why can't I believe what God says He will do?" This question turns doubt into prayer, not shame. Instead of pretending that everything's fine, the song points at some of the real culprits: negative self-talk, anxiety that tightens our chest, and this impatience inside us that wants to get answers right now. Familiar, isn't it? We understand the theory, but in real life, we have trouble putting it into practice.  The lyrics continue about going through more than a few stumbles, and acknowledge that even when our faith feels fragile, ...
