"Kingdom Things" by Martín Fredrick: Living for God’s Purpose


I'm stoked to share this awesome track by emerging artist Martín Fredrick called 'Kingdom Things.' It's actually his first fully written song, and it's all about what really counts from a heavenly perspective. Martín wanted to capture how we, as Christians, can really zero in on what matters to God each day. Martín shared his favorite line in the song, "this is only a preview." He explains, "When we truly live following God's ways here on earth, we're going to see only a small preview of what God intends for us when we get to heaven and live alongside Him." 

Martín Fredrick - Kingdom ThingsThe song's message is crystal clear: focus on God's kingdom, live each day with purpose (His purpose), see the world through God's eyes, and passionately pursue His will and presence in everything we do. 

The music combines Martín's touch together with various contributions by friends, making it a collaborative effort that feels so genuine. Ethan Sawyer played all of the electric guitars, Joel Gropp played all of the keyboards (organ and piano), and Russ Dalbke played the bass. Martín sang the lead vocal and background vocal and played both the acoustic guitar and drums. Caleb LaRoche mixed and mastered it. 

Martín hopes that the song will ignite a passion in you to actively pursue God. So, go ahead and give 'Kingdom Things' a listen—it's a real encouragement to live with His purpose!

"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...

"Praise You In The Morning" by Taylor Pride: Waking up to the sound of Worship

(by Jasper Tan) Taylor Pride's latest single, "Praise You In The Morning" is an uplifting song that is a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness in different seasons and circumstances. The song is an acknowledgement that even if we are facing hardships and difficulties, we should still continue to praise God, for he is our provider and protector. And that he has promised to redeem us in his perfect time. The song follows an established style of Taylor's "heart-on-your-sleeve" type of worship song, drawing inspiration for this song's music from the likes of Cody Carnes and Phil Wickham's songs, the likes of which are simple with an easy-to-sing chorus layered by joyful sounds. The lyrics serve as a prayer for those in the "desert seasons," suggesting that praise is a choice made even in times of uncertainty with our faith. The song uses the transition from night to day as a metaphor for moving from weeping to hope. It is a modern worship...
