"Bones" by Wild Olive: A Hauntingly Beautiful Reminder of God’s Presence


In the spirit of this time of year, Wild Olive releases, "Bones," a hauntingly beautiful reminder of God's omnipresence. Not the dead bones that many are thinking about as the Halloween celebration comes closer, but a song about the One who lives inside your bones. A song that helps to make this Halloween a time of spiritual reflection.

Wild Olive - Bones“When I start thinking that I'm all alone // I need to remember you're inside my bones,” a reminder that God's presence is a close by as your own bones. This track is especially for anyone who feels lost or is battling with inner demons. It turns the spooky season (and for some people, especially in the middle-east, the horrifying times) into a time for personal reflection, reinforcing the message that in our darkest hours, we're never truly alone. That self-reflection also calls us to look at our own behaviour, our intolerance for the opinion of others, as if others are not children of the same God or undeserving of His presence.

"Begging and pleading / But your love is leading / Outside my comfort zone Lord," sings Wild Olive, bringing to light the reality that God’s guidance often nudges us outside of our comfort zone. A song of hope and a reminder to shine His light and message of hope to all, because God’s love intercedes, leads all who follow to grandeur places, and is as essential to our being as our bones.

So, if you're looking for a sign, a nudge, or a moment of reassurance, may "Bones" be that for you. You can choose which bones your life will reflect... the dead bones that bring no good and horrify others, or the living bones that reflects the One who lives inside of you through our words, actions, and mindset.

May "Bones" by Wild Olive fill your heart, rekindle His fire in your spirit, and remind you of His presence within you.

'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...

'Jesus' by Judane: Navigating through Life's storms with Divine Hope

Judane's beautiful song 'Jesus' really helps to grow a deeper appreciation for all that Christ has done and still is doing for us. This song was written between 2019 and 2021, during a time when Judane was facing quite a few challenges. The song is about personal struggles, how we tend to deal with fear, doubt, and insecurities, and where we can find true hope. The lyrics also share an eternal truth - a truth that serves as a lifeline that is thrown to us in the middle of stormy seas - that Jesus is our one true hope. The song 'Jesus' illustrates a journey from feeling 'not good enough' or 'never strong enough' to realizing, that even in the face of despair, there is someone we can trust, and that is Jesus. He is here to restore, renew, and strengthen us, showing us who we really are. Allow Judane's soothing melody to wash away your anxieties, break them down, and invite you enter into a solid and tangible bond with Christ. The song...
