"My Praise Will Never End" by Maria Segerholm: A Praise That Started in a Hospital Bed at 3am


Maria Segerholm's "My Praise Will Never End" tells a remarkable story how she reclaimed hope in the most unlikely place - a hospital bed at 3am, just hours after suffering a stroke. Today, September 30th, marks one year since that terrifying night, and Maria chose to release this song on this very date. Powerful, right? 

Maria Segerholm - My Praise Will Never EndThe praise emerged during one the darkest moments of her life: "trial after trial may come my way, but I'm still holding on to every word You say." She wasn't going to let this uncertainty take away her worship. The "enemy" had already thrown so much at her life and she wasn't ready to let this stoke break her either. 

What gets me is the first line of the bridge "May One name remain, Jesus," and this has extra meaning when you realize where it came from. Maria was facing the possibility of losing her ability to speak, so she prayed, "Lord, if I'll lose my speech, may one name remain; Jesus." Her prayer is repeated when she sings "may one name remain, Jesus, You're worthy of praise." She wants to keep pointing people to Christ, that is what matters the most. 

Maria partnered with producer Eric Sullivan for this song. This song follows her lament EP "From the Ashes," and shows her journey from grief to gratitude. The song is authentic and honest. And it shows that declaring "my shield, my strength, my one defense" isn't about denying pain, but that it is about choosing to worship no matter what.

(Related scripture: Lamentations 3:22-23; Psalm 28:7; Psalm 136:1; Isaiah 41:13)

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...
