'Shadow of the Cross' by Jennifer Graf - Finding Freedom Where Love Flowed Down


As I listen to 'Shadow of the Cross' by Jennifer Graf, I am reminded how much Jesus loves us, so much that He gave up His life so we would be free and victorious. It's easy to picture Jesus on the cross, but yet it is so difficult to comprehend that He would willingly take on all of the pain and suffering that should have been ours.

Jennifer Graf - Shadow of the CrossThis song beautifully captures the essence of what it means to be a Christian - a call to lay down your burdens and find freedom in the arms of Jesus. It's about remembering that, no matter what we face, we're not alone. Jesus bore the ultimate agony, a crown of humility pressed into His brow, so that we could live in victory.

Jennifer invites you to reflect on this amazing love story. With every note, she reminds us that our debt has been erased and our chains broken; all because Jesus willingly gave His life for us. 

I recommend listening to this song. It's not just an enjoyable song; it also has an important message to share. It will remind you of how free and victorious you are in Jesus. Allow it to strengthen your faith and encourage you to put down your burdens 'in the shadow of the cross'.

(Related scripture: Isaiah 53:5; Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21)

'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.'

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...

"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...
