"Unfiltered" by Rachael Mann: Coming Before God Without Masks


"Unfiltered" by Rachael Mann is about being authentic, dropping your mask when you come before God. "Come as you are!" Produced by Dove Award winner Nathan Walters, this song gets right into what this means, "Ready or not this is me // Stepping out of the shadows they are hiding me." With God, we don't need to pretend. "I've been running for so long // I'm tired of pretending I'm so strong." 

Rachael Mann - UnfilteredThe lyrics are all about honesty, because God already knows what's troubling us, our strengths, and "All the broken parts no one can tell." We tend to try to hide behind the walls that we built for protection, hiding parts of us, but these walls won't last forever: "These very walls that I've built to protect me / Are starting to fall." 

If we listen, we will hear His voice, "calling out to me // Saying I am enough." He gives us the strength and guidance to press "… through the voices, tearing down the shame // This is who I am." He helps us with our fight to embrace truth over fear. The bridge of the song emphasizes the confidence He gives us to do this: "No one can tell me who I'm supposed to be // No one can take away my victory." Rachael reminds us we're "cherished, wanted, loved," just as we are. 

May this song help you to live unapologetically in His love. If you're ready to let go of shame, then let God help you. In Him you will learn to see that you are wonderfully made!

"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....

"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...
