'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.

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.

"The Christ" by NewSpring Worship: Answering the Call to Confess

NewSpring Worship's new release, called "The Christ", invites us to answer Jesus' timeless question: "Who do you say that I am?" The song takes us to the scene of Mark 8:29, where Jesus and His disciples were on their way to Caesarea Philippi, and He asked His disciples: "Who do men say that I am?" After the disciples answered, Jesus turned the question around and made it personal… He asked them: "But what about you? Who do you say I am?' Peter answered, 'You are the Messiah.'" Tom, one of the members of NewSpring Worship shared: "… we want that to be a confession of every individual in our church and outside of our church. And we want that to be a confession of everybody." That's the heart of the song. Ask yourself, if you had been there together with the other disciples on that road with Jesus, what would your answer be to His question, "Who do you say that I am?" With this song, you have the oppor...
