"Silent Night" by Tammie Lecque: A Modern Take on a Timeless Classic


Tammie Lecque releases a soulful rendition of "Silent Night," and we're confident that you not only enjoy listening but also love to know how this rendition came together. The inspiration for this rendition started under the shower. Tammie was doing some vocal warm-ups and playfully started to include little bits of Christmas music. The melody stuck in her head and continued to shape as she was making dinner and during her drive to work. 

Tammie Lecque - Silent NightThis creative process brought Tammie back to her roots. Rooted in her family's a cappella tradition as "The Bellamy Spiritual" (that was founded by her grandfather Pastor Chavis Bellamy) and inspired by various genres, such as jazz and soul, Tammie's rendition of 'Silent Night' brings a fresh, soulful take to this beloved classic. The lyrics remind us of that holy night where "all is calm, all is bright" as the tender infant Jesus slept peacefully. The lyrics speak of the shepherds' awe and the heavenly hosts singing "Alleluia," encouraging all of creation to join in this heavenly praise. 

Tammie's heartfelt rendition captures these timeless messages, messages that inspire and move people, encouraging us to reflect His love & light and look forward to the dawn of His redeeming grace. May Tammie's rendition of Silent Night remind you of the peace and wonder that Christmas brings into our everyday lives, and encourage you to spread some of His peace to the people around you.

"The List Goes On (Jordan's Song)" by Chris Sarver: Finding Freedom in Faith

Have you ever felt the weight of the past (old chains) even after you're free? Chris Sarver's "The List Goes On (Jordan's Song)" addresses this specific struggle. Chris shared the following: "Like many of you, I have been part of text thread groups whose main purpose is for encouragement and prayer. … About four years ago, in one of those men's groups, my friend from church, Jordan Hanks, shared a message you can see in the picture. It was simple. He wrote about how sometimes we feel the old weight we carried before Jesus lifted it. And when that weight tries to creep back in, he reminds himself of the names Jesus has earned in his life. He is a Healer." In other words, when shame whispers lies, we must speak truth louder. The lyrics confess, "The chains are gone, sometimes I still find that I can feel their weight." Instead of hiding this feeling, Chris Sarver turns it into a moment of worship. He calls out names that Jesus has earned in...

"The Cross" by Mhammed El Alami & HKL: At the Cross, Where Mercy Meets the Weary Heart

Rooted in the story of Jesus giving Himself at Calvary for everyone, "The Cross" by Mhammed El Alami & HKL turns this familiar message into a very personal invitation. Just stop carrying what is crushing you ( "Lay it down, let it go" ), surrender it to Christ, and let Him hold you. These lyrics are not only about the cross at Calvary. It's also about your cross, your fear, your shame, and your need for His peace. "Darkness fell, I was breaking fast," and we may count on the forgiving arms of a merciful Savior who is always there, even when our lives feel cold and heavy. "At the cross // You gave it all, you felt the cold // and love took hold // and made me whole." It's at the cross where "mercy bled and grace was born" for you, personally. It's where His grace clears your way home. What does that mean for us today? It means that we do not need to walk or carry our burdens alone. We may place everything that weighs u...

"Boxes" by John Long: Breaking Free from Religious Boxes

(by Jasper Tan) John Long’s “Boxes,” written with Dustin Smith, is both a reflection and criticism of how we oftentimes allow ourselves to be limited (“boxed”) with our faith. Using the “box” as the core metaphor of the song, it represents our self-imposed (or community-imposed) limitations with religious traditions that prevents genuine a genuine relationship with God. John emphasizes that these limitations often run into conflict with the original intentions of God, to have a free flowing holy communion with God. The song is characterized by our sense of longing and our desire to re-approach our Faith with clean hands and a pure heart. From the opening lines itself, we are challenged to evaluate the current status of our faith and come to realize that it may never really what we intend it to be. Our intention from the start was born from a desire to start a deep and Holy Communion with God, and as the bridge and chorus approaches, the song has a more personal and prayerful tone. We a...
