'Trust' by Olly Kiff (feat. Beth Merill & Kenisha): A Song of Faith and Reliance


Olly Kiff's song "Trust," featuring Beth Merill and Kenisha, started as a solo project back in 2022, inspired by Psalm 62. Olly got stuck and shelved it, but during a songwriting day in London, he teamed up with Beth and Kenisha. Together, they turned something that had been pretty much abandoned back to life and, at the same time, demonstrated that often the power of "we" is greater than the power of "me"! 

Olly Kiff (fet. Beth Merill & Kenisha) - TrustThe same also applies to the central theme of this song, our faith in God. The "me" in each of us can try on our own, but it is when we team up with God, patiently waiting in silence, that we find true strength and hope. The song encourages us to always place our trust in God, to pour out our hearts to Him, and to focus on the "we" by including Him in all parts of your life. God is your rock, salvation, mighty fortress, and refuge. That is the power of "we" with God! 

It doesn't matter what uncertainties you're facing; we will always find peace and security in God. Shift your focus from "me" to "He" to "we" and place your faith in Him. He will never disappoint, because He is our way, our truth, and our hiding place. May this song encourage you to place your trust in the One who never fails.

(Related scripture: Psalm 62:5-6; Isaiah 26:4; Proverbs 3:5-6)

"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...

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

'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...
