"Clues" by Josh Bissell & Spencer Annis: Healing Through the Questions


"Clues" by Josh Bissell and Spencer Annis is a beautiful indie folk ballad for anyone who's ever felt lost and wants to find their way again. The song offers quiet but undeniable hope, like the first hint of dawn after a long night. The lyrics navigate the messy journey of confronting our inner "monsters" and buried (childhood) wounds. "Where did the monsters come from? // How did I come to meet them?" Bissell asks, voicing the feelings we experience when past hurts are unraveled. This song isn't about keeping those pains "safely" wrapped up in darkness, "Reaching through the shadows to the edges of my mind // Filling every corner with illuminating light." 

Josh Bissell - Clues (feat. Spencer Annis)Clarity usually doesn't come in grand revelations but as small sacred nudges. "I guess I'm just looking for clues." The approach is to shine a bright light on it and ask God to help find the clues needed to figure out a way forward. It's a song about surrender—with repeated cries, "Lord, help me find the clues." The song emphasizes that faith is the key that can even make fractured hearts bloom again. Sure, we can search for clues on our own, but with God as our guide, we're "cultivating beauty with a seed that blooms in time."

If you're feeling lost, may this song remind you that the search itself is sacred, and it is a path that you don't need to travel on your own. Invite God to help you find the clues and help you heal those hidden wounds.

(Related scripture: Psalm 139:23-24; John 8:12; Isaiah 42:3)

"Soon and Very Soon" by Robby Robinson: Why This Classic Still Hits Like the First Time

What if one song could carry the weight of every hardship you've ever faced, and still leave you smiling? That's exactly what Andraé Crouch accomplished in 1978 when he wrote "Soon and Very Soon," and this new recording by Robby Robinson, Tony Galla, and Ray Reynolds makes sure you feel every bit of it.  The song is based on Revelation 21:3–4, reminding us of what's coming: no more crying, no more dying, just the glorious moment we finally see the King. Simple words, but it carries a profound promise.  Crouch was honest about the journey. There are "rivers we must cross" and "mountains we must climb." He emphasizes the truth that faith doesn't erase our struggles — it sustains us through them. God, as the lyrics remind us, will "supply all the strength that we need."   Featuring powerhouse vocalists Tony Galla and Ray Reynolds, Robinson blends this classic gospel energy with a rich, Hammond-organ-driven groove. Rather than a slow...

"Just Like You" by Senora Boyd: Chasing Christ Above All Else

What does it really mean to be transformed? Senora Boyd answers that question boldly in her Christian Rock/Pop anthem, "Just Like You" — and the answer might surprise you.  Less than a year before meeting her now-husband, "notlouwee!", and connecting with Billboard-charting producer "I Project", Boyd's life was looking completely different compared to where she is today. Her desires shifted, her priorities became centered on God, and the way she created music changed, together with her faith. We're talking about a full reset! What started out as a new spiritual journey quickly grew into a creative movement. Together with notlouwee! and I Project, she recorded nine songs within seven months. "Just Like You" is Boyd's fourth release, and it may be her most personal release yet.  The song is a raw, faith-filled confession. Lines like "Strip away my sin, I feel like a criminal" and "I was lost, running from the truth"...
