'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)

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

'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...
