"I Call You Friend" by George Case - Walking with the King as a Friend


George Case's "I Call You Friend" is a song about connection, intimacy, and the beauty of being able to Jesus your friend. The lyrics are inspired by John 15:13, "… I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends …". George reminds us that Jesus chooses to have a deep and personal relationship with us (if you let Him), and to walk with us no matter what we are going through. 

George Case - I Call You FriendGeorge shares that he grew up in a musically gifted Southern Baptist family in Pickens, South Carolina, and traveled the world during his 26 years of service in the U.S. military, experiences that shaped his life and have uniquely shaped his music ministry. He is now a full-time musician that releases songs that speak to the heart of the global Church. 

This song is an invitation to see Jesus as the most loyal and intimate friend we could possibly imagine. "You're called Prince of Peace, King of Kings // Creator of life and everything," which may make us feel as if He is very distant. But despite His majesty, He remains approachable and wishes that we too will see Him as our friend. George describes the kind of friend that Jesus is. "You never let me down, it's just what You do." Doubts and lies lurk around the corner, "Some say you're just a myth, just a fairy tale," and the best way to counter this kind of skepticism is with a personal testimony: "I know You changed my life, I know it well." 

The key ingredient to a strong and durable faith is to deepen your bond with God. May this song help you to further grow your relationship with our Lord and Savior, and remind you how near He really is.

(Related scripture: John 15:13-15; Proverbs 18:24; Hebrews 13:5)

'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...

"Turn to You" by Mike Cunningham: A Veterinarian's Worship Journey

Mike Cunningham is a veterinarian from Ohio. He traded his country tunes for worship music after discovering God's call on his life. In this debut single, "Turn to You," Cunningham explores what it means to seek God in a world that is so clouded by chaos and lies. He boldly asks the question, "In a world so torn with darkness, can a miracle set us free?" Looking at the chaos and mess around us, a situation that makes life feel quite overwhelming for many, it's His miracle that truly gives us hope. Cunningham reminds us that Jesus isn't just a distant figure that once walked on water and healed the blind, He is there for you and walks by your side. He is ready to guide you (if you let Him), even through your darkest nights. When everything is shaking beneath your feet, He is the one that you can lean on. "You are the way, the truth, and the light," bringing the clarity that we desperately need in our lives today.  May this song turn your gaze ...
