Arcadia Worship's 'Overflows (Live)': A River of Renewal


You've got to listen to Arcadia Worship's new song, 'Overflows (Live).' It's a heartfelt plea for God to enter our life, heal the brokenness in our heart (and the world around us), and shape us. Just like rivers can shape rocks and canyons, and water can find its way through the barricades. The lyrics call for a divine restoration and witnessing the impact of God's love and justice. 

Arcadia Worship - Overflows (Live)The opening lines, 'This world you created, this land that you gave us,' remind us that our lives are gifts, His gifts to us, a gift with a larger plan behind it. But, as imperfect as we are, 'Our sin has made dirty' the gift that was meant for beauty. The chorus is where you really feel the heartbeat of the song: 'Let your river run deep into our soul, carve a canyon into our heart of stone.' A reminder that we really need God's redeeming love to 'flood' / saturate every part of our life and the community around us. 

The live recording of 'Overflows' was made last March, and has already touched so many hearts. The band shares that they receive inquiries about the song almost every week, people eager to know more about the artist and where to find it. An official release of the song is a logical next step, and they hope that it will find its way into the hearts of listeners and encourage lives of worship & reflection outside of the church walls and Sunday services. 

May the plea in this song extend into your streets and homes, asking God to fill it with His justice and love until it overflows. And may this song encourage you to live a life that prayerfully reflects His image.

(Related scripture: Ezekiel 36:26; Amos 5:24; Isaiah 58:11)

"Jesus Christ" by Robin Vane: From Shame to Mercy, One Surrender at a Time

Robin Vane's "Jesus Christ" is a beautiful EDM track with a powerful message. A message, or better said, a testimony, that you'd expect to hear across a coffee table, or during an informal church gathering. It's raw, honest, and quietly brave. The song starts by looking back to a younger self, when he "had no hope" and "stopped believing," stuck in a season where it was "dark," lonely, and defeating. In other words, it names the kind of despair many people hide, even today, including our younger generations.  Robin continues to sing about when the turning point hit: Jesus "knocked on the door," and how he opened up to "love in the flesh." He also sings about what happened when Grace found him before he was able to clean himself up… Robin shares, "I surrendered and fell to my knees," and "I was weeping for the first time." That moment became a line in the sand for Robin: "I will never...

"Hallelujah" by Kensie Breen: Finding Grace in Every Broken Hallelujah

Kensie Breen's "Hallelujah" takes Leonard Cohen's timeless song and gives it a warm, country-Christmas vibe. Kensie, just 14 years old, beautifully emphasizes the reality of faith, the never-ending clash between biblical beauty and human brokenness.  Staying true to Cohen's original lyrics, Kensie traces David and Samson's stories. Stories that remind us that even when we've "done our best, it wasn't much," and still we can stand before the "Lord of Song" with our praises. The song gives us the hope that every hallelujah on our lips, holy or broken, can still rise to God.  So what does that mean for us? It means our imperfect worship still matters. Our mixed-up, mid-December heart still counts. It invites us to stop looking for excuses and just praise, because He is listening. He hears our praises, and He knows our hearts. May Kensie's beautiful rendition of Cohen's "Hallelujah" remind you that true worship isn...

'Jeremiah 29:11' by Sow In Peace: Connecting to God’s Plan

Mike, the artist behind Sow In Peace, brings us a powerful reminder with his latest track, 'Jeremiah 29:11.' This track has a modern CEDM vibe, blending soothing electronic beats with the timeless promise from God that we can read in Jeremiah 29:11. 'For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' It’s an energetic melody that doesn't distract from the core message, a song that invites you to reflect on God's promise in your life, reminding you that His plans are driven by love and purpose. Mike grew up in a family of musicians, and it shouldn't come as a surprize that music has always been an important part of his life. He went on to have a successful career writing music for TV shows and movies after finishing his formal education in music. While living the fast-paced Los Angeles lifestyle, he gave his life to Christ and found a new calling—a calling to slow down and re...
