'If Healing is Real' by Abbie Werner: Where Music Meets Miracles


Abbie Werner's new song 'If Healing is Real' is a musical testimony of faith, struggle, and an amazing 14-year journey of healing with Jesus. Abbie's struggles started during her middle and high school years, and looking back, on her path to recovery, she walked hand in hand with Jesus. Her recovery began with a guitar lesson. 

Abbie Werner - Healing is Real'Turn your eyes upon the Person who has won / The toughest battle's done / Grab your freedom,' Abbie sings, summarizing the essence of her journey. It's a call to remember that while we are still in the middle of our battles, no matter how big or small, Jesus has already claimed victory. Abbie shares how Kelsey Sharpe (her music teacher) gave her the tools and structure to express her big feelings, prayers, and questions to Jesus through music. Music with a message of hope, encouraging you to hold onto your faith, even when everything inside you wants to let go.

Healing isn't just a possibility, Abbie's song reminds you that it is a promise that you can count on it! With lines like 'Don't give up yet, friend/I know it's hard when motivation's gone,' Abbie reaches out to others who are going through their own struggles and shows them the way to the safe harbor that we all may find in God.

Check out 'If Healing is Real.' In times of doubt, may this song lead you, and in times of joy, may it lift you. Enjoy!

(Related scripture: Jeremiah 17:14; Psalm 147:3; Isaiah 40:31 )

'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...

"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 ...
