"Breathe A New Life – In Me" by Keith Garrett – When Faith Changes Your Story


Keith Garrett, also known as R.K.A. -  Keith Lessert, released a song called "Breathe A New Life (In Me)." The song is a call for renewal, to leave the past behind and embrace a fresh beginning. Garrett acknowledges that taking the first step to a fresh clean start isn't always easy, but you're not alone: "Eternity came and healed me within." 

Keith Garrett (R.K.A. - Keith Lessert) - Breathe A New Life - In MeThe lyrics give an example of the steps that lead to the change that God brings. Garrett reflects on days of self-reliance, stormy struggles, and a hardened heart. Living recklessly and being trapped in a cycle of pride and selfishness. You can run from God, but you can't hide… There will be moments in life when you realize that God is at your door. The moment that you let Him come in is when change happens: "But when I met You // You made it fade away…cause // You breathe a new life…" He doesn't come empty-handed, He brings freedom from chains, newfound vision, and purpose rooted in grace. 

What makes this song shine is the honesty and hope it brings, because it reminds us that no matter how lost we think we are, there's always a chance for a fresh start. "I once was blind, but now I can see // … // I know real purpose and the True Wealth // … // Eternity came and healed me within." 

His Gift is there for everyone who is willing to accept and embrace it. God's life-changing power is there for you. Want to know more, or hear how you can get a recharge? Go ahead and press play. Open your heart to God and ask Him for your fresh, clean start. You won't regret it.

(Related scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ezekiel 36:26; John 3:5–6)

"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...
