"Ain't My Jesus Something" by Amanda Joy Powell: Groove While You Praise


Amanda Joy Powell's "Ain't My Jesus Something" is a new song released to radio, and what a sound it is! Amanda describes it as an upbeat praise song to make you get your groove on! She wrote this song with a simple goal in mind, to remind us that we don't "need" to have a reason to praise Jesus, and sometimes we need a bit of help emotionally to get there! He's already worthy of all glory. 

Amanda Joy Powell - Ain't My Jesus SomethingThe song bursts with gratitude for the change He gives us, "I'm not who I was just the other day, not one bit // My life has turned around into something new, and I'll admit." The lyrics reflect on how He frees us from our pasts, "the old has come and gone," creating room for a new life, healed from our past, and "Testifying Jesus because He took my sin and washed it away."

There's no holding back as Amanda sings, "Ain't no doubt about it // I can get excited // God is moving // Oh to be a witness // Of His love and goodness // It keeps me singing." With lines like "I want to tell the world what He's done for me," it's impossible not to feel the urge to somehow, somewhere, share your own story with others. You don't need to stand on rooftops and shout it out! Be open for those divine promptings that nudge you to share what Jesus means to you. 

Go ahead, turn up the volume, and let the music help you to celebrate "Ain't my Jesus something!"

(Related scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 1:7; Psalm 107:2-3)

"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....

"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...
