'Where Breakthrough Starts' by Maria Segerholm and Ed Marl: Finding Hope in Harmony


Maria Segerholm and Ed Marl bring a song that came to Maria during a dream last May. The song is called 'Where Breakthrough Starts.' Maria recalls that she could only remember parts of the melody when she woke up, and that she was singing the song as a duet with a man. She quickly got up and recorded a voice memo of what she remembered and was able to finish the song a couple days later. 

Maria Segerholm ft. Ed Marl - Where Breakthrough StartsMaria shares that she wanted this song to be a proclamation of hope in the midst of struggle, and emphasize that God already knows our concerns, before we even share them with Him (Matthew 6:8). 'Down on my knees, and I can't find the words, I know You know my concerns,' He is already attuned to every silent prayer and unshed tear. 

'Here in Your presence, is where breakthrough starts,' reminding us where true change starts, that God has the power to create 'rivers in deserts' (Isaiah 43:19), and bring peace through even a gentle breeze (1 Kings 19:12). Our God delivers us from fear (Psalm 34:4). 

We often ask God for breakthrough, and Maria felt that God was giving her the powerful realization that a breakthrough starts in His presence, at His feet. He was working then, He is working now, and He'll do it again (Joshua 23:8). That is a promise that you can count on! 

When God is part of your life, you won't be travelling through your valleys alone! It is at His feet that breakthrough starts. So, go ahead and turn up the volume, close your eyes, and let 'Where Breakthrough Starts' ignite a fire of faith in your heart. May this song encourage and guide you on your journey to Him, where He will bless you with a breakthrough that brings eternal joy and peace.

"Jesus Is His Name" by Aaron Goodhew: The Name That Changes Everything

“Jesus Is His Name” by Aaron Goodhew is a song written as a Christ-centred declaration of who God is and what He has done. The song begins by asking, “Who designed creation and called it into being?” and quickly answers by pointing our eyes “high above the heavens” and leading us to the very place “where he rests his feet.” In other words, this is worship from creation to restoration. Each verse walks through different parts of Christ’s work: parting waters, calming storms, healing lepers, restoring outcasts, setting captives free. The chorus invites the church to confess together: "He is the Lord God // Lifted up // Mighty to be praised // Sovereign King of kings // Name above all names." But most of all, He is the personal Savior “The one who paid our ransom // The one who saved a wretch like me.” The bridge crowns this declaration, calling Jesus “wonderful counsellor, mighty king and friend,” the Lion and the Lamb whose glory we cannot fully comprehend. A declaration...

"Heaven Country" by Jensen & Company: Where Faith Meets Fiddles

Jensen & Company's 'Heaven Country' features Heidi Jensen North. It's a song that bursts with an infectious Texas swing energy, with steel guitars, fiddles, and washboard rhythms that pull you into the vibe. Beneath this melodic energy is a message with a promise: heaven isn't just a destination, it's a homeland where every tear is wiped away!  Can you imagine streets where lions walk with lambs, hunger vanishes, and divisions dissolve into unity? What a contrast compared with today's world! One of the lines that stands out: "There's no divide - there's just one side // The Son is shining every day."  What if we were to start living today as citizens of that eternal country? What's stopping us? The song challenges us: "All the love that you've acquired here - it's your money // Be sure to fill your account." It's a call to invest in what truly lasts. You've never seen its glory, never heard its songs - but...

'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...
