The James Jennings Project Sings ‘Till You Look Good From The Inside Out’


The James Jennings Project did it again with this inspiring third release, 'Till You Look Good From The Inside Out', from the upcoming album 'Hitchhiking On A Narrow Road'. This song is reminder to look beyond the surface, because it is the inside that really matters. Don't let the outward appearances be your motivation for doing things, especially if your going through the motions for others to see. God looks beyond the superficial, because it's our inner self that truly defines who we are and what our true intentions are.

The James Jennings Project - Till You Look Good From The Inside OutIn today's world, it's easy to get caught up in what we own or how we look. The brand names on our clothes, the type of car we drive, even the bible that we visibly carry with us on our way to church... These comparisons often start in school, and the society around us often continues these comparisons throughout life. How often do you see that people go out of their way to live in certain areas or go to prestigious universities in order to get better jobs? Doing good to specific people, because you never know how you may need to call in a favor later on. We're often so focused on the outside, that we forget or possibly make a mess of the inside. 'You can make lots of money, and you can buy some fine, fine clothes,' the lyrics say, and this quickly brings us back to the truth: 'That won't change who you really are.' This song challenges us to look beyond the surface and focus on what's inside. What really drives our actions and choices? What relationship are we placing first in our life?

James Jennings doesn't mince words in this song. He points out that superficial fixes won't change your core: 'You can try to get in touch with yourself, but that won't change you into somebody else.' You're not going to find true transformation in worldly solutions.

So, why do you fancy up the outside when it's the inside that really counts? Go ahead and listen to 'Till You Look Good From The Inside Out'. May this song inspire you to take the steps that result in real change. It's an invitation to reflect, fill yourself with God's love and goodness, and share it with the world.

"I Will Rejoice" by Maria Segerholm: Thankful for the Sunshine and the Rain

Joy is a choice you can make today. “I Will Rejoice” by Maria Segerholm is a song of joy and praise, and her message is that joy is a choice despite the challenges we face. Maria has been called a happy person since she was a little girl. The unexpected happened, the trials came. Seasons arrived when her joy faded, and she says the enemy worked hard to steal her joy. Does that sound familiar? Those seasons didn’t last. Over the past few years, God has taught Maria what it means to rejoice in Him at all times, and this song, “I Will Rejoice”, grew from that lesson. Listen to how she sings it. Clouds try to block her light, yet she won’t stay down. Pain tries to break her praise, so she sings His Name. Fear shakes her soul, and she gives thanks “cause I know You’re good.” Notice the words that Maria uses: Clouds, pain, fear, and noise… They all “try,” but none of them win. Joy here is a choice that she makes again and again, long before her feelings catch up. The bridge pushes further....

"King Of All Nations" by Ezra Worship Initiative: Sing Today What Heaven Will Sing Forever

Your worship today echoes eternity. Ezra Worship Initiative trains young worship leaders through a ten-week, seminary-based internship. Their songwriters learn Scripture first and melody second. You can hear this in their latest release, “King Of All Nations,” a song written for congregations to sing. The song opens as a prayer: “May Your Name be proclaimed in all creation.” Who does the proclaiming? The Church does. The second verse asks God to “send Your Church to go and tell the gospel story,” which puts all who sing this right inside the request. Who on your street has never heard His name from you? Then the chorus lifts the roof: “All the honor, voices lifted to the King.” Worship here is not a performance. It is sung as a community, young and old, a multigenerational voice of praise. The bridge looks ahead. “All will come, and all will bow.” John saw the same moment: “a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, stan...

"No Other Name" by Joakim Arenius and Josef Tingbratt: Hope That Outlasts the Darkness

Darkness grips hard, but one name holds harder. Where do you turn when your strength runs out? Josef Tingbratt and Joakim Arenius wrote “No Other Name” for that moment. Their song follows a man who is “Restless weary and alone,” “So many miles from home.” Inner voices that treat him unkindly. Then a night raid brings brutal violence: “They tried to break his body down, but they could not break his crown.” Notice what he does when “darkness gets its grip.” He calls Jesus: “Jesus, Jesus hear my cry.” No fancy words, just a cry. The song grew where two struggles meet. Some believers face ridicule or violence for following Jesus. Others fight a quieter battle with loneliness and doubt. Both struggles need the same answer. Peter answered the rulers who questioned him in Acts 4:12: “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” He spoke with threats hanging over him. His confidence never rested on comfortable c...
