'Silent Night' by Erica Violet - A Reverent Nostalgic Blend

With Christmas approaching, it's time to revive the tunes that tune our hearts to the reason for the season, unfolding tales of God's magnificent love and his incredible gift to mankind. Erica Violet's rendition of the much-loved 'Silent Night' is one such song to treasure this season, a melodious blend of traditional charm and contemporary freshness.

Remember the hushed reverence of silent nights at church, when the soft glow of candles brought the beloved hymn to life? Erica does. She magically combines her childhood memories of candlelit Christmas Eve services with a modern sound, creating an experience that is as captivating as it is soothing.

Silent Night's familiar lines, peppered with the rhythmic charm of a 6/8 beat, convey the tranquil peace and divine light of that first Christmas night. The true gem, however, is the newly crafted bridge: a melody leading into intimate worship, a humble adoration of the child who would become our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.

Allow the notes and words to wash over you. Allow the melody to awaken the heavenly peace that Christmas promises, echoing the angels' song of 'Holy, Holy'. Listen, and let your heart find the peace offered by Jesus, the radiant Son of God whose birth heralds the dawn of redeeming grace.

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything. The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything. Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful. The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...
