'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.

"A Love Song" by Seek and Surrender: The Three-Stranded Covenant

(By Jasper Tan) We always see people say "I love you" to someone, professing their love to that significant other. But we often see how a marriage united by love easily shreds to tatters, and we ask ourselves, "Why?" Where did it all go wrong? How did something joined together by love easily get broken and be accepted as "falling out of love"? But the biggest thought that comes to mind while listening to Seek and Surrender's latest song, "A Love Song," is: do we really understand what it feels like to love? In Seek and Surrender's song, there are countless lines in which the singer professes his love to his bride. It seeks to highlight the sincerity of his love, the magnanimity, the pureness. But in those lines, there's this line that we all should focus on —  "If Christ gave Himself for His bride, Oh, then I'll give myself for mine." Do we know how Christ gave himself for his bride (the Church)? He sacrificed himself w...

John Mayer's Secret to Writing Catchy Song Lyrics

John Mayer's Secret to Writing Catchy Song Lyrics by Kapa Freeman  Why are John Mayer's song lyrics so easy to remember? It comes down to human psychology. I am notoriously bad at remembering song lyrics, except for John Mayer's Songs. Other artists may write a song I remember here or there, but John Mayer does it consistently. Why? I discovered the reason when I was working full-time as a teacher. Teachers can always tell when they're losing students. When those eyes start to glaze over, when that one eyebrow raises in confusion and someone yells out... "I don't get it!"  I got those a lot when I first started teaching. Talking to other teachers, I soon discovered why. I was giving too much information at once. I would vomit these elaborate explanations, thinking that more information would help clear things up... But they just got confused. Talking to my teachers reminded me of lessons I'd learned while getting my teaching degree:  "People remem...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...
