"Found in the Hurt" by Presence Music Band: Finding Hope When Healing is Delayed


"Found in the Hurt" by Presence Music Band is a deeply moving song, especially when you know more about the story behind this song. The song was inspired by Leah Monson's own struggles with depression, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. It speaks to anyone who is wrestling with unanswered questions, faith, and healing. But most of all, this song offers hope, and reminds us that God's purpose often opens doors in ways that we don't immediately see or thinks was possible. 

Presence Music Band - Found in the HurtThe song itself is already beautiful, and if you get a chance, I encourage you to watch the video, because the video brings the song even more to life. Seeing the people in the video and briefly hearing what God did for them really touched my heart. We have a God of miracles and too often we just take that for granted! 

Leah opens the song by encouraging us to boldly pray and live out our faith. She emphasizes that it is our faith that God desires. And then comes the truth that we're not always willing to hear… Even when healing doesn't come right away (or in this life), there is still purpose in the pain, and there is a gift to be found inside the grief. Instead of passively waiting for some kind of miraculous cure, Leah encourages us to first turn to God's will. However difficult it may seem, we not only find His presence in the healing, but we also find it in the struggle. 

We may also find a miracle "in the hurt", because growth, grace, and understanding doesn't happen by escaping the hardship… it happens by walking through it with God. The song encourages us to also say "It is well," when life feels gray or when we don't know/understand the reasons. 

May this song remind you to walk together with God and trust the journey. Ask God to help you see the beauty in hardship. May the lyrics inspire you to hold on, to believe, and to embrace His plan through every season of pain and healing.

Secrets Artists Should Learn About The Spotify Algorithm

Spotify's competitive edge is the amount of data it holds on listeners and the way it uses that data to increase engagement. ... Using the same underlying data and technology can provide unique insights to record labels and artists about who's listening to what and help them reach more listeners. The Spotify algorithm sets itself apart from other digital music streaming services. The algorithm is an AI system known as BaRT (an abbreviation of Ba ndits for R ecommendations as T reatments). Basically, BaRT’s job is to keep listeners listening. It does this by playing and suggesting songs it knows the user is familiar with, while dropping in some fresh tracks it thinks they might like, but most importantly, haven’t heard before. This makes sure the listener is engaged, but things never get boring. BaRT decides what to suggest to listeners by combining two concepts – Explore and Exploit. This combination is the key to the platform’s recommendation system. Exploit uses the listene...

"Coming Out Of Babylon" by Robert Peterson and The Crusade: Finding Purpose and Joy in Christ

Robert Peterson had barely dusted off his drum kit when the Lord handed him a new setlist. Robert shares: "this current round of songs being created were different - they were all his - well sort of all his." He had decided it was time to offer up his talents to the Lord. Robert writes: "I was mortified at the thought of actually giving my life to Him. I didn't want to give up who I thought I was."   "Coming Out of Babylon" is the first song coming out of this change (one that was on the shelve a while pending creation of a intro). The result is a five-minute testimony that turns a trembling surrender into a victory march. As you listen, you can feel how this slow ache of "doing what I wanted to… without a fear" transitions into the realization that "I needed You - all the way."   What I enjoy about the song is that it helps to see "leaving" as the first step that is needed to following His calling for us. The chorus emph...
