"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.

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...
