'Back When We Were Young' by Will Brown: Rediscover Childlike Faith


Will Brown's 'Back When We Were Young' encourages us to embrace a child-like faith whenever we face one of life's storms. Will wrote this song when he felt vulnerable and was suffering. It's a story many of us can relate to: the challenge of growing up, the grief of losing a loved one, and the struggle to stay strong in our faith during difficult times. 

Will Brown - Back When We Were YoungThis song is an open and sincere prayer. It's not a plea for answers, but a heartfelt prayer to trust with a childlike faith, that is innocent and pure. It's a reminder that even when the pressures of life begin to wear us down, we can return to the simple faith and trust of a child. 'Give me faith like a child, innocent and sweet, You don't want half my heart or anything between… I give it all…,' Will sings, inviting us to let go of our worries and half-heartedness and surrender to God in unconditional faith. 

The song 'Back When We Were Young' helps us to regain a sense of divine child-like purity and strength as we face challenges. Will Brown encourages us to let go of our 'ifs,' 'buts,' and 'why's' and simply embrace the fact that God loves and accepts each of us just the way we are. 

Take a minute to listen to 'Back When We Were Young.' Allow the message to touch your heart. We pray that the song may lead you to the grace of God with a child-like faith and unconditional trust.

"When I Saw The Light" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Folk, Grace, and the Moment Everything Changes

“When I Saw The Light” captures something painfully familiar — the trap that routine can bring. Tyler Philip Ratcliffe wrote this folk anthem as a follow-up to “This Little Light of Mine,” drawing on his bluegrass roots and the spirit of Bill Monroe’s classic to tell a story many will recognize in themselves. The verses don’t sugarcoat it. “Same faces, same mistakes, same places // Promise that I change it all tomorrow”  — the trap we need to be aware of… The routine masquerading as life. But Ratcliffe doesn’t leave the listener there. The chorus lifts everything: “I traded fake for something honest // Finally doing something right.” That’s the turning point! What makes this song land is its honesty about the moment before a breakthrough. When numbness sets in, when you’ve exhausted every other option — that’s when the light (His light) breaks through. Ratcliffe captures the surprise of grace: “I wasn’t looking for religion // Wasn’t searching for the truth.” Nobody ever is. And ye...

"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...
