"Of All The World" by Robert Peterson and The Crusade: A Wake-Up Call to Notice Him


"Of All The World" by Robert Peterson and The Crusade's is a thought-provoking song about recognizing God. Possibly we are so busy with our lives or distracted by all of the noise that we need to ask ourselves if we would even have noticed if God hadn't been there. It's a piercing question: "Would you know the difference, if I wasn't in your life?" This isn't a song that is wagging a finger to express disapproval, but it does get you thinking. 

Robert Peterson and The Crusade - Of All The WorldThe lyrics continue the thought-provoking tension with lines like "Would you be too busy and not see me standing there." It is so easy to overlook His presence when distractions are screaming for our attention! "Has the world become so loud and clamoring with noise," and maybe the slightest hesitation in our answer may be a good reason to double-check how we are staying connected with Him. The following lines in chorus might help with that check… "Would you know … could you tell… if I never had arrived." This song urges us to honestly ask ourselves whether we're truly living out our faith or just going through the motions. 

This isn't just a song but a mirror held up to our spiritual walk. Are we "talking the talk" or "walking the walk"? I know that the lyrics got me thinking as I was listening, and I welcome the introspection and reconnection. So, if you enjoy music that both challenges and inspires, then give this song a listen.

(Related scripture: Psalm 139:7-8; Matthew 7:21; Luke 10:38-42)

"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....

"FUNK!" by Morgan Starner: When Worship Makes You Dance

Morgan Starner's debut single "FUNK!" isn't your typical worship track… and that's exactly the intent! The song comes out of Morgan's journey through anxiety, insecurity, and depression during adolescence. She shares the lessons learned during this journey in a joyful, 70s-inspired song, reminding us that you don't need to have it all together to praise God. In fact, your "funk"—that heavy, stuck feeling—can be the place where worship begins!  "Get me out of this funk… I'm thirsty for that living water only You provide," she sings, pointing to God for relief and renewal. We don't need to pretend that we've got everything under control, because God already knows what's going on. The song is an invitation to surrender our control and trust in a God who's "always right on time." And what if your next step of faith isn't a quiet prayer… but a dance?  The message is clear… joy doesn't depend on our cir...

'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...
