"Unknown"by Heather Suzanne: Trust in the twist


Heather Suzanne wrote "Unknown" after thinking her life was headed toward calm and then watching it flip. Plans shifted. Certainty thinned. But that isn't the end; it's the start of the next exciting chapter in our journey. The key message of the song is simple: we may not always understand, but God doesn't waste detours. So trust Him with all of your heart and follow His guidance into the unknown. 

Heather Suzanne - UnknownIn the verses, Heather starts by asking why she was brought to this point, where everything looks dim: "Oh Lord, why did you lead me here // When all I see is doubt and the path looks too dark." She expected to be heading to quiet streams in life but all of a sudden finds herself squinting at a shadowed road. The ground under her feet feels unstable, and there are fault lines all around her. Her pain and doubt are honest, and her choice of what to do with those feelings is what makes this song so powerful. 

Though we can't understand every reason, "Oh, I don't understand sometimes," we are encouraged to look at the bigger picture, "All the ways You work for good in my life." God has a plan for us, so: "… I trust You with all of my soul // So I will follow You into the unknown." This isn't the time to freeze up but to follow Him. 

The chorus widens our view; the valleys and summits, dry places and sweeping blue, canyons and trenches, and every terrain become an altar for trust and obedience. The unknown isn't a threat but a place where we meet grace. 

What stands out in this song isn't despair, but trust and surrender. Trust God's good purpose when the explanations are scarce. Lean in, breathe, and let this song steady your steps today. When you're on an unknown path in life, may this song remind you that God is working out all things for your good—even in the unknown.

"Hiding Place (Live)" by DBU Chapel Worship: Forgiven, Covered, and Free

How often do you hear worship songs being sung live in the comforts of your day-to-day living? For sure, there are a dime a dozen. Some you commonly share with the person next to you, featuring songs by popular Christian Artists. But there's a certain form of unique sincerity when one discovers a worship song that is yet to break through to a larger audience. This is how the song "Hiding Place" by DBU Chapel Worship featuring Olivia-Grace McKern felt like when I first listened to the song. It felt like a new testimony being told, of one's dedication to find God and remain in his presence.  Taking root from Psalm 32, the song is a collaboration of Olivia with a host of songwriters from the DBU Chapel Worship. Enriching her experience as a songwriter and moving her through the songwriting process. In perhaps a reflection of what the song eventually became, it wasn't so that Olivia conveniently hid behind the DBU Chapel Worship songwriters/musicians. This song is a c...

'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...
