"Turn To Him" by Julia Igwe: A Heartfelt Call to Seek Jesus


“Turn To Him” by Julia Igwe is a personal reminder for anyone who is feeling weighed down by the struggles and weight that life can cause. Julia shares her story of how she was lost. She encourages us to see that true salvation isn’t found in empty promises or temporary fixes, but in Jesus. The lyrics share the pain she felt, as well as the shame and exhaustion. It’s in these moments that giving up seems so tempting. Julia doesn’t leave you there. She gently calls you to look upward, turn to Jesus, because He is the one who sees your tears and hears your cries. He wants to bring His peace into your life if you let Him.

Julia Igwe - Turn To HimJulia is convinced, “He wants to dry all of your tears,” and “He will part through the sea,” now that she too has experienced God’s loving power to rescue and restore in her own life. She encourages us to call out to Jesus in prayer, knowing He’s ready to wrap us in His love and fill our lives with true joy.

This song is a simple and yet powerful nudge to stop searching for love and happiness elsewhere. Those surrogates will not satisfy like Jesus can. Turn to our Savior! He promises to be everything we need and brings us hope and the fullness of life.

“Turn To Him” was the song Julia needed to hear when she was lost. May this help you focus on Him alone, and remember that Jesus loves you.

"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...

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?

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...
