"Midnight to Victory" by Kevin Downswell: A Journey from Darkness to Triumph


"Midnight to Victory (feat. Gilead) [Live]" by Kevin Downswell is a declaration of breakthrough, from the darkest night to God's victorious light. The genre is what Kevin calls a "cinematic gospel anthem with rich Caribbean percussion and modern worship vocals." This rendition of the song was recorded live at Bob Marley Tuff Gong Studio in Kingston, Jamaica, in front of a live audience. 

Kevin Downswell - Midnight to Victory (feat. Gilead) [Live]The song starts with: "In the midnight hour, when the shadows fall // I hear You whisper, …" And what is God whispering? "I've conquered all." This is a victory song that shows us how God's victory becomes our victory… if we follow His lead! It's about walking the talk under His guidance. 

He is with us, even in the toughest moments of life when the road feels too steep or the waves are crashing down on us, "You're my Shepherd, Lord, You never sleep." A Shepherd watching over us, driving us along His plan, "When the winds are raging, and my faith feels small / You remind me oh God, that You're in control." 

His plan leads to a breakthrough: "Your hand it leads me from midnight to victory / My God You carry me." He is the source of freedom and joy, "You broke my chains, and You set me free," freedom and joy that is celebrated! Kevin encourages us, from all corners of the earth, to celebrate by lifting our flags in praise of the One who did it all for us. 

This energetic and faith-boosting song fills you with hope and strength. May its message help you to accept His guidance and lead you from midnight to victory.

(Related scripture: Psalm 23:4; Isaiah 43:2; Romans 8:37)

"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...

"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....

'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...
