"Praise My Way Through" by Chris Sarver: A powerful song that brings resilience in Faith, and Hope amidst the hopelessness.


Chris Sarver's latest single Praise My Way Through is part collaborative and part personal cathartic experience. I (Jasper) personally know Chris, and I'm familiar with his previous works, as well as the personal experience of fellow Christian singer-songwriter Maria Segerholm, to which Chris has drawn inspiration for this song. At that time, Maria declared that in her trying times, she'll just have to Praise her way through. It's amazing to know the personal story behind the creation of this song. And I could say that this perhaps is Chris' best song to date. Chris is a very much underrated Independent Christian Artist who always wears his heart on his sleeve for each song that he sings. And nothing has been more heartfelt than this song that he has written. Each note and soaring melody that accompanies the words of this song takes a life of its own, synchronizing with a powerful message of hope amidst the hopelessness.

Chris Sarver - Praise My Way ThroughAs Chris shares, the song is about trusting God when you can't fully trust your own thoughts. About walking through foggy seasons, emotional flat lines, and learning to lean on Him when your chemistry won't cooperate. It's humbling. It's exhausting. And it's real. Chris invites us to keep a firmer foundation in our Faith in God. That even if we are stuck in the uncertainties of life, we'll just have to Praise our way through. Because God is good. Because He keeps His promises. Because even in the waiting, He is still faithful. And we have Maria's story as a living testimony of God's promise to us. It is always a good experience to be able to share our faith with another. To draw strength from a fellow Christian, wherein during our personal trials, we are able to lift each other up… and grow together in our Faith.

(Related scripture: Psalm 34:1; Proverbs 3:5; Psalm 27:14)

'Fighting With My Demons' by Joe Nester: Encapsulating the Resilient Battle of Faith

Fighting With My Demons' by Joe Nester is a powerful Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) song that confronts a universal and challenging issue — the battle with inner demons. Nestled within the soothing melody and catchy rhythm are impactful lyrics conveying despair, struggle, and ultimate redemption. As the song begins, 'All my life, I’ve been battling with my demons,' listeners are instantly embraced with understanding, compassion, and know they are not alone in their struggles. The profound lyrics echo the pain of life's battles and the weariness they create, yet they’re also filled with hope. We are reminded that even while we are lost and conflicted, God's presence becomes our refuge. As we heed the voice of Nester, immersed in sincerity and conviction, the lyrics resonate, 'So fill me with your fire. Until I feel it burning bright and all the darkness turns to light.' It is a plaintive cry for God's sanctifying fire — His divine intervention to ov...

Today, in part 1, we focus on the foundation needed to build a larger audience/fanbase, where to focus, and your place in a bigger picture. Next week, in part 2, we will focus on your online hub, ways to attract more visitors to your online hub, and being more than a musician.   Why do some Christian artists have millions of monthly streams on the streaming platforms, while other great artists struggle to get more than a few thousand monthly streams? Many Christian Artists struggle to reach new listeners. Marketing music was never easy, but quite a few artists (and even agents/distributors) are not using all of the possibilities that are already available. What saddens me is that many Christian artists only scratch the surface of their music marketing possibilities. DIY-platforms, such...

Josephine Grace - Higher Than the Heavens (CCM)

Josephine Grace has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Higher Than the Heavens. Josephine shared her story behind this song:  Some songs come quickly, some come slowly. This one was definitely the latter! It was way back in 2011 when I made a home demo of the first version of this song - it was moodier with completely different chords, melody and lyrics - and then it sat on the shelf (or more literally, on an external hard drive full of archived files) until the back end of last year. I’ve done some studying online with Hillsong College this past year and a half and at some point I’d explored what being wholehearted towards God means. Bits of the old song (it was called ‘I Will’ at that point), written quite directly from Psalm 108, started coming back to me beginning with Psalm 108:1 (NIV) “My heart, O God, is steadfast”.  I followed the melody in my mind to the chorus based on Psalm 108:4 (NIV) “For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your fa...
