"Take Me Higher" by Christian Reign: Rising Above Life’s Weights with Faith

"Take Me Higher" by Christian Reign is an upbeat song that grew out of a period where everyday life felt somewhat boring, the deadlines, bills, and the quiet pressure to keep pushing your limits. Christian shares, "So me and my best friend decided to spend a week chasing small moments of light: a spontaneous laugh in traffic, a child dancing in the supermarket aisle, the calm you feel when worship cuts through the noise. We wanted a song that bottled those flashes of joy and pointed them upward."

The song has such an energy: "Morning breaks, my spirit wakes // Grace rolls in like ocean tide." Christian sings about leaning into God's rhythm when life feels heavy, "When the weight of the world says 'stop' // Lord, You flip the pressure into pop." The chorus was built for shouting in the car (with the windows down!!): "Take me higher - oh-oh! // Lift my heart on fire // Jesus, You inspire."

Lines like "Your melody erases chains" and "Hope keeps pulsing through my veins" keep reminding us that faith leads to freedom. Christian shares, "Each line is a reminder to lift our spirits high, believe in God's love, and let it carry you higher than the daily grind."

May this infectious groove and uplifting message help you to focus on God and cut through life's noise.

Brandon Lake's heartfelt message resonates with the reality that there are times when we find ourselves in prisons and battles.

"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....
