"Your Kingdom - Live" by Justin Barnett: Anticipating Christ's Eternal Reign


Justin Barnett's "Your Kingdom—Live" captures the heart of anticipation and encourages us to think about what it means to long for Christ's return. A song that was recorded at Riverside Revival in East Nashville and written by John Chisum & Bonnie J. Barbey. 

Justin Barnett - Your Kingdom - LiveThe song looks at the fact that we're already citizens of heaven and that we ache for the day when Christ's kingdom fully comes. It makes it clear that we live between a promise and the fulfillment of that promise. Barnett sings about Christ's kingdom being characterized by love, mercy, and power, and how it touches our present reality. 

The lyrics encourage us to recognize our identity in Christ. We are "children of light," and are called to lift our praises and anticipate the moment "when we look on Your face." The lyrics also links its message to the Lord's prayer, "let Your kingdom come, let Your will be done, on earth as in heaven," where the prayer is both a petition to God and a proclamation of our faith. 

Go ahead and give this song a listen. May it help to grow your longing and remind you of your ultimate citizenship, as children of light, sons and daughters of a Heavenly Father, where we may stand together as the children of Heaven.

(Related scripture: Matthew 6:9-10; 2. 1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 22:20)

'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...

'Jeremiah 29:11' by Sow In Peace: Connecting to God’s Plan

Mike, the artist behind Sow In Peace, brings us a powerful reminder with his latest track, 'Jeremiah 29:11.' This track has a modern CEDM vibe, blending soothing electronic beats with the timeless promise from God that we can read in Jeremiah 29:11. 'For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' It’s an energetic melody that doesn't distract from the core message, a song that invites you to reflect on God's promise in your life, reminding you that His plans are driven by love and purpose. Mike grew up in a family of musicians, and it shouldn't come as a surprize that music has always been an important part of his life. He went on to have a successful career writing music for TV shows and movies after finishing his formal education in music. While living the fast-paced Los Angeles lifestyle, he gave his life to Christ and found a new calling—a calling to slow down and re...
