'Surrendered Hearts' by Red Letter Society - How Music Can Lead Us to True Surrender


Have you ever noticed how performances of the same song can differ when artists are lead by the Spirit. It is as if the Spirit is making little tweaks to help finetune the message to a receptive audience. That is what makes this rendition of 'Surrendered Hearts' by Red Letter Society so special. I've listened to all of the previous releases of this song, and this release continues to grab me with its powerful message. This is a live recording made at The Heights, and this rendition triggers new thoughts about surrendering your heart to God. Maybe you're thinking that surrendering or laying down your own will before God is defeat... on the contrary! Surrendering your heart is how you can step into the life that God has prepared for you.

Red Letter Society - Surrendered Hearts (Live At The Heights)Sin did a number on us, and totally messed up our relationship with God. This song points out how easy it actually is to return back to God, and get back to His blueprint for our lives. The first step is to allow the Holy Spirit to spark a fire of desire in you that helps you to surrender your heart completely to God. It's about a desire to invite God into your life, let His reign realign your focus, standards, and rule your heart. Truly, what could be more beautiful than that?

Maybe 'Surrendered Hearts' is the (re-)start of your journey to wake up to God's heart, His will, and His ways. A boost on your journey to discover the joy of exchanging your hunger for the world with a hunger for the Holy. Moving away from the logic in your head to surrendering your heart to Him—because a truly amazing transformation will happen when you surrender your heart to God's love and lead.

I pray this song will boost that journey!

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

'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...
