'Go Tell It On the Mountain' by Dave Pettigrew - Immersed in the Divine History of Christmas


'Go Tell It on the Mountain' is a timeless song that has been passed down through generations. It is a gentle invitation to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the world's Salvation, and has been covered by countless artists. Dave Pettigrew, a well-known worship leader and recording artist, gives a fresh take on this timeless hymn, wrapping it in the mellow tones of guitar and piano and harmonizing vocals that stir the soul.

Dave Pettigrew - Go Tell It On the MountainAllow the soft strains of Pettigrew's version to sweep you away to the silent night when heaven came down to earth, when humble shepherds were struck with holy awe, and angelic voices proclaimed the birth of our Savior.

This song is a divine invitation, not just a melody. As Christians, we are called not only to be recipients of God's grace, but also to be carriers of His love. We are encouraged to 'go tell it on the mountain,' to spread the Good News everywhere, to spread the hope that shines brighter than any Christmas light, the hope found in Jesus Christ.

So, listen to this stirring rendition and allow your heart to be filled with renewed faith and joy. What could be more appropriate for Christmas, or indeed for any day, than to rejoice and celebrate the birth of our Savior, the King of Love?

(Related scripture: Luke 2:10-11; Isaiah 52:7; Matthew 28:19-20)

"In Victory" by Veanea: Praise Is How You Live in Victory

Jesus rose. That changes everything about today. Veanea had a simple goal: glorify the God of signs and wonders. What she didn’t expect was how quickly He would show up in the process.  Veanea had been working on a verse when a chorus for the song broke through —  “Amazing signs and wonders King!” She sang it over and over, sat down at the keys, and the bridge practically wrote itself. That evening, she prayed honestly, telling God she couldn’t write about His wonders without completely depending on Him. The next morning, on a train, she opened her Bible to Psalm 66. The verses seemed to sing right off the page in the exact melody she’d just received. She laughed, realizing that God had already answered.  That same joy runs through every line of the song. “You calmed the storm and stilled the wind and Your arm split the sea // So I can walk ahead in victory.” The God who parted waters for Israel is the same God who is walking with you through whatever it is that you’re carry...

"Not Every Light Is Heaven" by whispering HOPE: How to Tell Real Light from Deception

How do you tell true Light from imitations? Something glittering always seems to promise more. Diamonds in the darkness, a glow on the horizon — your eyes move toward it before your mind catches up. That pull is what whispering HOPE is pointing out in this song: the way imitated brightness can masquerade as a blessing, but slowly draws you away from peace rather than into it. The lyrics describe an experience most of us will recognize. “Every glow looked like a promise, but it pulled me out of peace.” You’ve been there. A relationship, an opportunity, a version of success that sparkled just long enough to seem like the answer — but in reality it left emptiness behind. “Every spark without Your presence left a hollow in its place.” That emptiness is an important signal to pay attention to. The apostle Paul named this dynamic in 2 Corinthians 11:14 —  “Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” Deception rarely announces itself. It arrives dressed as an opportunity, appearing...

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...
