"If I Can't" by Kayla Spurlock Music – When Faith Feels Like Falling


Something special happens when old stories are renewed and placed into present-day context. That is what Kayla Spurlock and The Fold Worship Choir do with the song "If I Can't." The song goes back to the story of the woman who reached out to touch the robe of Jesus in the midst of her desperation. She had suffered twelve years of pain, had found no solutions, and her hope was rapidly fading. Can you imagine her feelings of weariness and longing for a way out? Now bring those feelings to the here and now. Are these types of feelings also familiar to you? Kayla doesn't shy away from struggle, instead, she places it in the center of her song. "She hoped of healing, hid on the ground // In twelve years she'd never found," so real and relatable. 

Kayla Spurlock Music - If I Can't (feat. The Fold Worship Choir)It doesn't have to be only about physical healing. It could be the heartbreak of children that have gone astray or are making poor choices in life or partners that have decided that it is easier to cause pain instead of making a change. There are so many types of situations that we could be facing, but the common theme is surrender. It's about the moments when we say, "I've been fighting, too… Mistakes I can't undo," and realizing that we're not alone. And when strength is running out, that there is still a safe place to be, "If I can't crawl // I'll fall to my Savior's arms." This is at the core of our faith, and a truth that we often tend to forget… So, we can't be reminded often enough that sometimes faith may look like falling, but in reality, He is already there to catch us. 

Kayla invites you to trust the same Christ who turned to that hurting woman and said, "Your faith has healed you." He's still calling, reaching out, and catching us. And even when we can't do anything else, He still can.

(Related scripture: Mark 5:25-28; Isaiah 40:31; Philippians 4:13)

Skillet - Valley of Death (CCM)

Skillet has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Valley of Death. The global health crisis of the last two years has led to numerous questions regarding why bad things happen to good people. Skillet's John Cooper explains why he believes God allowed the pandemic to happen. Skillet has released their new album Dominion through Atlantic Records last Friday (Jan. 14). A discussion with 'Loudwire Nights' host Toni Gonzalez brought up the track "Valley of Death," which contains the lyrics: "Someone said this is all part of the plan / But I don't understand." Gonzalez then asked him why he thinks God would allow a pandemic. This is what Cooper said: "Well, the first answer is that we're not good people. We're all fallen and we are all in desperate need of salvation through Jesus. So, we're not actually good people, we all do bad stuff. We all cheat, we've all lied, we're all greedy and as much as the most lov...

"Sunlight (Storge)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Reminisce the Simpler Times

(by Jasper Tan) Feel good, light-hearted, easy listening track. That's how I find Chelsea Chaisson's new single called "Sunlight (Storge)." I was kind of curious what the word "Storge" means, so I had to look it up. According to Wikipedia, "Storge is a Greek word that refers to natural, familial affection or love, particularly the bond between parents and children, as well as among family members and close friends. It is characterized by familiarity, dependence, and loyalty, often rooted in kinship bonds and shared experiences." Sounds very familiar? Of course, it should be, because as per the description, it actually describes what Christian love is. Or should I say how God loves us as His children? Chelsea was inspired to write this song by reminiscing about her childhood, marked by simpler times spent with her cousins and their grandma.  Countless times, we always heard the saying that we all should have faith like a child. The reason for that i...

"In the Room" by Matt Maher feat. Chris Brown: A Heartfelt Desire for Divine Presence

Matt Maher's collaboration with Chris Brown, 'In the Room,' is a soul-stirring Christian song that encapsulates the profound longing to witness transformative moments in the presence of God. The lyrics express the desire to be present when God's power touches broken hearts, ignites faith, and brings healing. The song's verses convey a yearning for those irreplaceable instances when heaven and earth intersect, leading to changed hearts and restored lives. The chorus's declaration, ' I just wanna be in the room when You move,' beautifully encapsulates the eagerness to witness God's miraculous work up close. The bridge's vivid imagery of tearing off the roof and pushing through the crowd reflects the determination to encounter God, no matter the obstacles. The repetition of the bridge emphasizes the earnest plea to witness God's breakthroughs and freedom. 'In the Room' is an invitation to be part of moments that are greater than oneself...
