"I’ll Go" by Matthew Simmons: Trusting God Through Every Step


Matthew Simmons released "I'll Go", a powerful song about wholeheartedly following Jesus, no matter where He leads you. The song captures what it means to surrender to God and declares, "Where you go I'll go" and "The compass of my heart, You point me to the light." This is such an encouraging reminder that God always meets us where ever we are and wraps us in His love, even though the world may say that we'll never measure up. 

Matthew Simmons - I’ll GoThe main theme of this song's message focuses on trust and devotion, and that includes trusting that He will always be with you, even when life seems to go the wrong way. Inspiring lyrics like "In the blessing and the breaking, I'll never be forsaken" emphasize that God is always there for us, no matter what ups and downs we're going through. He doesn't let us go, and any distance we may be feeling is only because we're starting to let go of Him. We trust that you'll enjoy how Matthew Simmons and Curtis Ray manage to create a sense of freedom, excitement, and joy that reminds us of how we'll feel when we surrender to God's call. 

The message of finding freedom and joy in surrender may sound a bit like a contradiction, but realize that it is about surrendering your will to the ultimate Source of freedom and joy. That is the core message that turns this song into a lifeline, or better yet, a roadmap for anyone who is looking for courage to take that leap of faith. So, whether you're navigating life's highs or lows, may this song remind you that God is always there for you and He gives purpose to your life. May this song encourage you to follow Him boldly and commit to walk fearlessly with Him along the path that He has set out for you.

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.

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...

"Oceans (Hillsong Cover)" by Tiffany Ford - Stepping into the Unknown with Faith

Life can at times feel like a stormy sea! Do you recognize that feeling? Tiffany Ford does, and Oceans by Hillsong is one of her 'go-to' songs for those rough times in life. She released a beautiful cover of Oceans, and shared how faith became her anchor when her life seemed so overwhelming. "Seemed" is the key word here, because in her moments of doubt and fear she discovered that God was meeting her exactly where she stood — by her side as she stood on shaky ground or in deep waters.  Oceans is a favorite for many readers, a song that describes the tension we feel between trust and uncertainty: "You call me out upon the waters / The great unknown where feet may fail." It's a beautiful invitation to step out of your comfort zone, even when it feels quite risky. With this cover, Tiffany is reminding us (and herself) that He is there when we get of our comfort zone. We can count on Him being there to guide us —  "Your sovereign hand will be my guide...
