"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.

"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....

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?

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...

"Come Let Us Go" by NARROWAY: Journey to the Mountain of Light

It's difficult to imagine that there will be a day when all nations are tired of the chaos and finally ask, "Where do we go from here?" The answer to that question is the theme of NARROWAY's "Come, Let Us Go." The lyrics are inspired by Isaiah 2 and Micah 4, and look forward to "… the days that are coming, the mountain will rise // Lifted above all the nations and skies // People will gather from near and far // Saying, "Let's go to where His teachings are." As we observe the chaos in the world, the wars, and the rumor of wars, it's hard to imagine that "Swords turned to plows, war fades away // Shalom will reign in Yah's good way." Believe it or not, there will be a day with "No more fear, no more fight // Just His Torah shining bright." But the key message of this song isn't a distant promise! The lyrics pull us to the here and now… our present reality. The reality is that God's Kingdom is stepping on...
