"Land I’m Livin In" by Isaiah William: A Reminder of Unchanging Faithfulness


"Land I'm Livin In" by Isaiah William is a beautiful song, but the making of the song wasn't easy—it was a labor of love, with six different choruses written before they landed on the perfect one. For Isaiah William, this song is a reminder that God's goodness is always there, regardless of whether we feel it or not. The lyrics declare, "Surely I will see Your goodness // In the land I'm livin'," expressing hope that we can trust God to do for us what He has done for others so many times before. God's goodness is always there, even when we can't feel it.

Isaiah William - Land I'm Livin InThe lyrics are inspired by well-known Bible stories about faith and how God provided. It's lines like "Give us faith // Like Daniel in the lion's den" and "Like Elijah fed by the raven's hand" that remind us that God has always been true to His promises; He is there, even before we call out. The song calls us to have faith that His plan "is working for better" even when "the stream dries up." Our challenge is to be strong and unconditionally place our trust in God, because "goodness is who You are."

Sure, there are hard times in life, and there will be more to come, but that shouldn't stop us from relying on God's unchanging love. God's goodness is always there, even when we don't feel it. "Even when we run, we're still held in Your hands," Isaiah sings. God promises that you will never be alone. God is already there by your side, waiting for you to let Him become part of your life. Go ahead and give this song a listen. May this song encourage you to reach out to God and place your trust in His promises.

"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...
