"Watching & Praying" by Calm The Storm: Where Judgment Meets Hope


Calm The Storm, a Christian band founded by A.J. Ogg in 2025, released a song called "Watching & Praying." It is a captivating song that focusses on Christ's return. A.J. shares "Calm The Storm started as a natural and logical outworking of my faith. Faith is lived, not merely reasoned or reckoned." 

Calm The Storm - Watching & PrayingA.J.'s life changed in a way that he never expected in 2020. That is when he began to truly follow Jesus (which means obeying his teachings), and that decision started a radical transformation that continues to shape everything he does. He shares: "Following Him and helping others to do the same has become the focus of my life until He returns." This sets the stage for "Watching & Praying." 

The song is a call to action, a commitment: "We'll be watching and praying, until You come." There is nothing passive in watching: "We'll see You coming, on the clouds one day." This is about keep watch with anticipation, and not merely observing. It's also about knowing what to look for, and realizing what is coming and how we can best prepare ourselves for that moment. Christ's final judgment comes with the promise of a new age. The song is filled with anticipation, and there is no need for fear if we remain steadfast, keep the faith, and look forward to the return of Christ.

"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....

"Misunderstood" by Cory Asbury: Letting the Light In Through Vulnerability

Cory Asbury's 'Misunderstood' is a poignant ballad that reaches out to those grappling with anxiety, depression, and the weight of the future. With heartfelt lyrics and a soothing melody, this song offers solace and understanding to anyone feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges. The verses weave a narrative of resilience, reminding us that our struggles do not define us. The chorus confronts the notion of brokenness, acknowledging the universal experience of hiding pain and imperfections. Asbury's empathetic voice assures that being broken is a shared reality, not a personal failure. The final chorus, like a reassuring anthem, reinforces the understanding that no one is alone in their struggles. It acknowledges the societal tendency to bury vulnerability but emphasizes the importance of acknowledging pain and seeking support. (Related scripture: Psalm 34:18, Psalm 139:1-2, 2 Corinthians 12:9-10) Lyrics Read “Misunderstood” by Cory Asbury on Genius https://genius...
