"Victory" by Jillian Schafer - Breaking Chains, Finding Freedom


Jillian Schafer's "Victory" is an amazing song, not just the lyrics, but also how this was created. Jillian shares, "One evening in the living room, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and inspiration wash over me. It was as if the Holy Spirit was guiding my heart and hands. In just 30–45 minutes, the song "Victory" poured out of me a process that usually takes me hours or days."

Jillian Schafer - VictoryThe song is a celebration of Christ's triumph over sin and death, but even more important, it has a major message for you… right here and now! It's simple… it's an open invitation for you to ask God to be part of your life. This is how His sacrifice will also apply to you.

It's easy to see Jesus' sacrifice: "Wrongfully accused, willfully abused, heart-broken and bruised." You will hear Jillian sing about the hope that He brings, "A perfect sacrifice, Victory!" The lyrics take us to the time of Adam and Eve to remind us of how humanity fell and go from there to the freedom we may receive through His mercy: "Death cannot win, neither can sin, through Him, if we let Him in."

"… if we let Him in…," that's the key! You, me, we… we all need His victory to be part of our lives. We can sing and thank Him all day for His sacrifice and still ignore His call to action. His victory is yours if you open your heart, embrace His love, and step into the life He offers. May your heart and mind open the door to let Him in. He is already there and wants you to be part of His unshakable victory.

(Related scripture: Romans 5:12, 17-19; 1 Corinthians 15:54-57; Hebrews 2:14-15)

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.

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...
