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.

"Holy Forever" by Stephanie Staples: When Music Becomes an Offering

(by Jasper Tan) Stephanie Staples has just recently released her own rendition of Chris Tomlin’s recent critically acclaimed worship song “Holy Forever”. For this version, Stephanie transforms this song into a soulful and reverent version of this classic hit. While Tomlin’s version is more grandiose and soaring, Stephanie’s version feels more grounded and meditative. Leaning on her more emotive expression of the song, this version offers an alternative listen to a song that is well loved by this generation of Christian worshippers. Just like Tomlin’s original version, "Holy Forever" themes gives focus on eternal worship and the unchanging dominion of Jesus Christ over us. The song gives reverence to the value and the importance of having Jesus in our life. Our continued reverence and submission to him is crucial in our quest to know him more and understand how his presence in our life transforms us to become better Christians. Foremost to this is accepting the fact that Jesus...

"Soon and Very Soon" by Robby Robinson: Why This Classic Still Hits Like the First Time

What if one song could carry the weight of every hardship you've ever faced, and still leave you smiling? That's exactly what Andraé Crouch accomplished in 1978 when he wrote "Soon and Very Soon," and this new recording by Robby Robinson, Tony Galla, and Ray Reynolds makes sure you feel every bit of it.  The song is based on Revelation 21:3–4, reminding us of what's coming: no more crying, no more dying, just the glorious moment we finally see the King. Simple words, but it carries a profound promise.  Crouch was honest about the journey. There are "rivers we must cross" and "mountains we must climb." He emphasizes the truth that faith doesn't erase our struggles — it sustains us through them. God, as the lyrics remind us, will "supply all the strength that we need."   Featuring powerhouse vocalists Tony Galla and Ray Reynolds, Robinson blends this classic gospel energy with a rich, Hammond-organ-driven groove. Rather than a slow...

"Going Outta My Mind" by Fisher of Men: He Challenges You to Stop Living for Yourself

(by Jasper Tan) "Going Outta My Mind" by Fisher of Men is a modern indie pop CCM song that focuses on the suffocating nature of being self-centered, rather than being freed by the truth of God's love. With the lines "Yeah I've been livin' in my head too long, spinnin' every little worry like a broken song," it quickly establishes our tendency to dwell on our problems. And once we get in too deep with it, we more often than not get drowned by the darkness it brings. These intrusive thoughts are not healthy for us. And the only way to break free from these thoughts is to acknowledge and receive God's love, and place your problems in His care.  A simple "tap" by Jesus is all that it takes to be set free from this cycle of darkness. But the question is, are we ready to acknowledge it and let go? Jesus is always there ready to offer His help. He's always there ready to offer His friendship. Are we ready to receive it? Are we ready for H...
