"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)

'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 ...
