'Strong and Steady' by Heather Pillsbury: Finding Solid Ground in Faith


Heather Pillsbury's song 'Strong and Steady' grabs you from the first chords and keeps you engaged all the way to the end. This song is a melodic embrace that feels like coming home after a long and challenging journey. The lyrics point to the stable and firm foundation that we have in God, and that is a huge contrast to the world we have that keeps shifting like sand beneath our feet. 

Heather Pillsbury, The Worship Coalition - Strong and SteadyCan you recall those days when just about everything feels too much? When life feels like a rollercoaster, where everything is rushing past you with a pace that is much faster and fiercer than you can handle? 'Strong and Steady' meets you right there. It grounds you with a gentle reminder that there are good things going on around you, more than what meets the eye. It's about realizing that you're standing on solid rock because God is holding on to you. 

This song is a testament to God's unchanging nature. It reassures us that He's working everything out for our good. That foundation of faith - that unshakeable belief in the victory held by our God forever - is precisely what keeps us strong and steady. 

'Strong and Steady' is a call to lean on, lay back, and let the strength of our Almighty fill you. Give it a listen, and let it stir your heart and boost your faith. Because this song is a reminder we all need: with God, we are forever strong and steady.

(Related scripture: 2 Timothy 2:19; Psalm 18:2; Romans 8:28)

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'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...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
