"Strong Foundation" by David Samuel: How This Track Will Strengthen Your Faith


"Strong Foundation" by David Samuel (aka In Him) is a track that is inspired by Luke 6:46–49, and turns one of Jesus' lessons about life's foundations into a beautiful CEDM track. The song follows the story of two brothers in Jericho - one brother carefully plans and builds his home on solid rock, while the other brother rushes off to build his house without much thought. The contrast between the two brothers also mirrors the differences in the way that we respond/deal with life's challenges. Are we holding on to something unshakable, or are we settling for shortcuts?

In Him (David Samuel) - Strong FoundationThe lyrics beautifully capture the tension between these differences. Lines like "Step by step I find my way // Through trials that block each day," the daily struggle and the determination to trust God. The chorus, "Closer to You I long to stay… Your light whispers and calls me near," that intimate moment when we realize that His love dispels fear and draws us near. In the bridge we hear a declaration of resilience that our relationship with Jesus brings: "When the storms rage wild and high // You're my shelter, You're my guide." 

Jesus wants to be your guide, to lead you, and to walk beside you. He is the solid ground that withstands any storm or turbulence that life brings. May this song encourage you to ground yourself in faith and build on His solid foundation. Go ahead and give this song a listen - you'll be glad you did.

(Related scripture: Luke 6:46–49; Psalm 46:1-2; Isaiah 26:3-4)

Secrets Artists Should Learn About The Spotify Algorithm

Spotify's competitive edge is the amount of data it holds on listeners and the way it uses that data to increase engagement. ... Using the same underlying data and technology can provide unique insights to record labels and artists about who's listening to what and help them reach more listeners. The Spotify algorithm sets itself apart from other digital music streaming services. The algorithm is an AI system known as BaRT (an abbreviation of Ba ndits for R ecommendations as T reatments). Basically, BaRT’s job is to keep listeners listening. It does this by playing and suggesting songs it knows the user is familiar with, while dropping in some fresh tracks it thinks they might like, but most importantly, haven’t heard before. This makes sure the listener is engaged, but things never get boring. BaRT decides what to suggest to listeners by combining two concepts – Explore and Exploit. This combination is the key to the platform’s recommendation system. Exploit uses the listene...

"Coming Out Of Babylon" by Robert Peterson and The Crusade: Finding Purpose and Joy in Christ

Robert Peterson had barely dusted off his drum kit when the Lord handed him a new setlist. Robert shares: "this current round of songs being created were different - they were all his - well sort of all his." He had decided it was time to offer up his talents to the Lord. Robert writes: "I was mortified at the thought of actually giving my life to Him. I didn't want to give up who I thought I was."   "Coming Out of Babylon" is the first song coming out of this change (one that was on the shelve a while pending creation of a intro). The result is a five-minute testimony that turns a trembling surrender into a victory march. As you listen, you can feel how this slow ache of "doing what I wanted to… without a fear" transitions into the realization that "I needed You - all the way."   What I enjoy about the song is that it helps to see "leaving" as the first step that is needed to following His calling for us. The chorus emph...
