"This is Redemption" by Taylor Tripodi - A Story Still Unfolding


Taylor Tripodi has finally released the title track for her upcoming album, 'This is Redemption,' a project of almost 5 years finally ready for release. The inspiration comes after a long struggle with the Lord living a prodigal lifestyle. Taylor pours her heart into this song, a song that declares no one is too far gone for God's mercy. Inspired by St. Faustina's words, 'The greater the sinner the more right they have to the Lord's mercy,' she reminds us that redemption isn't just for the "put-together", redemption is especially for all who feel that they are broken beyond repair. 

Taylor Tripodi - This is RedemptionThe lyrics of the song look at the tension we feel between shame and His grace: "Mirrors can't hide the memories I've buried inside." Instead of running away from our past, Taylor invites us to embrace our past in a new light, "I'm learning to see where I've been in the light of love." His love changes everything, and it's in His love that we may see that "There's no reason to run, I wouldn't be who I am without who I was." 

God turns your pain into purpose, "You're turning my past into promise," giving you hope and new direction. Your story isn't over, it's still unfolding. May this song gently nudge you to step into His presence and find healing.

(Related scripture: Lamentations 3:22-23; Psalm 103:12; Isaiah 61:1-3)

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"How Good You Are" by ECTaylor: His Goodness Shines in Our Darkest Places

ECTaylor wrote "How Good You Are" one early morning while sitting outside alone, watching the sunrise and listening to the peaceful sounds of the woods. After more than a share of life's challenges, ECTaylor felt something almost sacred as the first light of day broke through the trees. He speaks about a "deep, whispered reminder of God's goodness that shines even in our darkest places." The lyrics immediately set the tone, "When morning breaks with golden light, Your mercy lifts me from the night," a tone of hope. It's amazing how simple wonders of nature, like the sparrow's singing and the flowing of a river, can remind us of God and His constant presence. ECTaylor shares, "I thought about Paul, worshiping God from a prison cell. I finally began to understand just a bit of how he could praise and be thankful in the midst of pain—because when you truly see who God is, gratitude rises above circumstance." Sometimes we are trappe...

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.'

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.
