"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...

"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."   The 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 ma...

Riley Clemmons - Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix (CCM)

Riley Clemmons has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix. The song 'Inside My Head' was born out of a season of pain and healing. As a result, the song has a way of speaking about life's difficulties that is accessible and relatable to everyone.  "As I was writing and dreaming up this record, "says Riley, "there was never a plan to create anything but honest music, born from hurting, growing, and healing. I collected songs for this body of work much like I collected every experience I found myself in the middle of over the past couple of years... the highs & lows, the conversations with God, the questions about my identity, the heartbreak, and the healing." Although the music addresses life's hurts, it does much more than that. The trials of life, according to Clemmons, are ordained by God so we can draw close to him. "The thread that began to connect them all quickly became the idea tha...
