Thankfully Christian - I Am A Child Of God (EP)Tragically, he lost his parents while he was young and turned to Christ with full dedication and found his purpose in sharing God's love through music. This EP reflects his connection with God, making this EP a joyful declaration of his identity in Him. 

The lyrics of these songs are filled with confidence and gratitude, reminding us of our place as beloved children of God. Here is a summary of the message and intent of each song:

  1. Take It To The Cross is an upbeat track that encourages us to surrender sin, embrace faith, and follow Jesus daily. With a catchy refrain, it reminds us to live in His light, guided by grace, love, and truth, as we pursue His purpose and lift everything to the cross.
  2. Living Water, Eternal Life highlights our longing for spiritual fulfillment and the freedom that we can only find in Christ's love. It invites us to quench our thirst with His living water, embrace His light, and thrive in His Spirit, all while celebrating eternal life through heartfelt worship and joyous praise.

With hands lifted high and hearts open wide, it celebrates unwavering faith, grace, and trust in His plan. The message of this song helps us to embrace every challenge with His love and a smile in our heart and soul that reflects His glory.
  4. Do Not Fear is a reassuring song based on Psalm 23. It reminds us of God's constant presence and care. The lyrics use the imagery that we also find in this Psalm, the imagery of still waters, dark valleys, and overflowing blessings, to encourage us to place our trust in His guidance, find comfort in His protection, and face life's challenges without fear.
  5. Awaken My Soul is a worship song that invites us to stand up and celebrate God's unending love and mercy. The lyrics make use of imagery of morning dew, sheltering wings, and radiant light, intended to remind us that His presence renews our spirit, chases away fear, and fills our hearts to overflow, regardless if we are facing times of joy or pain.

Through this EP, David invites us to embrace our spiritual identity with joy and boldness. We belong to something greater, anchored in love, faith, and hope. We all may proudly and boldly declare, "I am a child of God!"

"Take the Wheel" by Bonnie Jean Bailey: Why Surrender Feels So Hard

What are you still holding on to instead of giving it to God?  Three in the morning has a way of exposing what we’ve been avoiding all day. Bonnie Jean Bailey knows that hour well. In her song “Take the Wheel,” she sings about the tossing and turning, being “sick and tired of all this worrying,” and bags so heavy they threaten to burst. Can you picture that? Most of us carry something similar. Possibly we don’t call it a levy as Bonnie does, but the burden isn’t less.  Bonnie points out a pattern that we need to be aware of… “Every time I try to hand it over, I take it back cuz I need control of everything.” Does this sound familiar? We pray about something that is worrying us, feel a moment of relief, and then quietly pick up the burden again an hour or so later.  Bonnie isn’t preaching from a distance here. She’s describing her own tug-of-war between fear and faith. And to be honest, that could also be my tug-of-war that she is describing. Is it also your tug-of-war a...

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...
