"Dare to Believe" by Charis B: Your Leap of Faith Is Bigger Than Your Giant


You've stood in the valley surrounded by your giants, while doubters (including your thoughts) are whispering and telling you that you can't do this! The circumstances are roaring, but your courage is shrinking. But what did David teach us? He showed us that the victory isn't found in the size of our strength! Victory is found in the depth of our faith!

Charis B - Dare to BelieveThat's the key message of "Dare to Believe" by Charis B. The song is inspired by young David, who stepped forward with nothing but a sling and a song in his soul. Charis isn't retelling David's story, she's inviting you into it. "Nobody believed // But you and me," how often have you felt that way? Nobody else can see what God was doing in you. God equips you, and He prepares you for what is to come! You don't need approval, all you need is action.

"I stepped out // With a rock and a sling // I did trust you" … and Goliath fell.

That's God's protocol! Faith isn't passive, it's a leap, a choice. It asks us to say "yes" when everyone else says "no." The song pulls you forward, stepping out to face the battle, to walk through it, armed with the weapon that God gives us, eyes on the One who holds the outcome.

So what's your giant today? Fear? Rejection? Delay?

"Dare to believe. // Take that step. // … // Call on God's power. // Now is the hour."

You were made for this. Listen, partner with God, and then rise.

(Related scripture: 1 Samuel 17:45; Hebrews 11:1; Mark 9:23)

"Holy (In The Valley)" by Caleb Andrew: Finding His Greatness in the Valley

What if worship wasn't just for mountaintop moments? Caleb Andrew's debut single, "Holy (In The Valley)," addresses this very question. Caleb shared that this song has been in the making for 10 years. What started as a chorus and bridge written during an intense encounter with God's presence has since grown into an anthem for his life.  God's holiness doesn't fade when our life grows heavy! In other words, our God not only meets us in triumph, He also walks with us through uncertainty. The lyrics declare, "You are holy // In the valley // You are holy," turning our gaze from circumstance to Him, our Lord. When Caleb sings, "There in my weakness // You see greatness," he captures the heart of persevering faith. This song empowers you to choose to worship Him, even before a breakthrough. The lyrics have become Caleb's daily reminder: "will you let trials silence your song, or will you sing anyway?" The bridge commands cour...

"Dancing On Water" by Mary Oz: When grief has no power over Hope

(by Jasper Tan) I have always been a huge admirer of Mary Oz's music. Since the moment I discovered her songs, without fail, I've always made it a point to add them to my playlists. If there was one CCM artist from the Philippines who deserves to be heard on a global scale, then my vote belongs to Mary.  Her latest single, "Dancing On Water" (which is a part of her forthcoming album), is a pure acoustic folk/rock song that talks about breakthroughs from grief. As Mary shares, "Grief can swallow you whole, but it's not a life sentence. The morning will come, and with it, Joy." This is a very empowering statement that seeks to inspire her listeners to take courage, rejoice, leave the sadness behind, and just conquer their fears.  What I love about Mary's songwriting is her deep metaphorical lyricism that makes her songs stand out among the clutter of songs in this age of digital music. You'll definitely know that her songs are very well thought of...

'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...
