"A Love So Real (20th Anniversary Edition)" by Thoughts And Notions: Healing Through Unconditional Love


The 20th Anniversary Edition of “A Love So Real” by Thoughts And Notions is a reimagined classic of theirs. It has the 90’s pop/rock vibe, with a few modifications, and retells a message about God’s unwavering love. As the band recreates 20th Anniversary Editions of their favorites, it feels like stepping into a nostalgic time machine. The world has changed, but God's immense love for us has never changed! It's a message worth retelling for the many early-day fans that are now going through their mid-life challenges.

Thoughts And Notions - A Love So Real (20th Anniversary Edition)Thoughts and Notions sing about feelings of brokenness: “My days have darkened and it looked so bleak // For my troubles made me weak.” The song points out that we're not going to find the answer inside ourselves, “Though I had no hope // Though I had no love,” and here it comes.... “You’re my shining light.” No matter what we're going through, the key to real change is God! He paid it all for us, He prepared the way forward, “I’m saved by a love so real // For you have mended my shattered life.”

We all have moments in life where we feel defeated, “I thought that my life has become so useless // For I have stumbled and was lost,” but with God by your side there is always a way out. The song reassures us that we all may be redeemed through His love if we let Him come into our lives. This song is a song for wounded hearts and a reminder for all that God’s love for you is unconditional and that He wants to care and provide for you if you let Him.

(Related scripture: Psalm 103:3-4; Romans 5:8; Lamentations 3:22-23)

"The List Goes On (Jordan's Song)" by Chris Sarver: Finding Freedom in Faith

Have you ever felt the weight of the past (old chains) even after you're free? Chris Sarver's "The List Goes On (Jordan's Song)" addresses this specific struggle. Chris shared the following: "Like many of you, I have been part of text thread groups whose main purpose is for encouragement and prayer. … About four years ago, in one of those men's groups, my friend from church, Jordan Hanks, shared a message you can see in the picture. It was simple. He wrote about how sometimes we feel the old weight we carried before Jesus lifted it. And when that weight tries to creep back in, he reminds himself of the names Jesus has earned in his life. He is a Healer." In other words, when shame whispers lies, we must speak truth louder. The lyrics confess, "The chains are gone, sometimes I still find that I can feel their weight." Instead of hiding this feeling, Chris Sarver turns it into a moment of worship. He calls out names that Jesus has earned in...

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

'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...
