"Fan the Flame" by Gabi Poli: Igniting Faith with Christian RnB


What if a song could help to reignite your passion for faith? In her Christian RnB worship track, "Fan the Flame," Gabi Poli does just that. This song was created to start a movement, encouraging listening to music that fans the flames of our spiritual lives. Gabi loves to use the Christian RnB genre to invite us to experience God's presence in a fresh way.

Gabby Poli - Fan the FlameThe lyrics beautifully articulate a desire for God's life-changing power in our lives. "You're pulling me closer // Every day // Resistance inside me // Burn it away," opening lyrics that express the desire for God's purifying flame to remove whatever is blocking our relationship with God. It also encourages letting His love light up "the places that used to be dark." Have you felt that gentle pull toward deeper intimacy with God lately? 

Our freedom comes from His sacrifice, which has "saved me now I finally free." A song that is also calling you and me to action. Will you let His love be that "Pure Fire" that consumes you? Where would you be without His steadfast grace? Instead of letting your spiritual fire grow cold, this song encourages you to stoke the embers. So, go ahead and listen to "Fan the Flame." May its message and beautiful RnB vibe inspire your worship and guide your heart back to the One who ignites lasting fire.

(Related scripture: Matthew 3:11; James 4:8; 2 Timothy 1:6)

"Come Alive" by Joel Lane: Finding Life Where Emptiness Used to Live

What if nothing you chase can truly fill the emptiness?  Emptiness has a way of following you around, no matter how fast you run. You chase a feeling (or things you believe will get you higher up “the ladder”), land on it for a moment, and then watch it slip through your fingers again. Joel Lane captures that feeling of restlessness in the opening lines of his song “Come Alive”: “Emptiness, chasing a feeling, trying to fill the void inside.” Sound familiar? Most of us have spent years searching for a purpose that felt just out of our reach.  Joel sings about how something happened that put everything in a different perspective. “You opened my eyes, now I see the light, I’m never going back.” That’s not a small statement. That’s a complete change of direction, a different way of living, a change the kind that can only happen when God steps into the picture.  The apostle Paul writes about this change of direction in Ephesians: “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the...

"Set Free" by Kristin Ambuhl: Naming Your Real Enemy

What battle are you really fighting today?   Some enemies wear a smile. Kristin Ambuhl calls this out in her song “Set Free”. The song calls these enemies a “favorite shadow” who’s “throwin’ words like daggers” while “hiding behind your laughter.” This is much more than a person who is being difficult. Kristin wrote this song about the daily spiritual battles we face as believers — battles found in arrogant people, dark influences, and forces that work to pull us away from who God made us to be. Whether it’s small fights or big ones, she’s naming them all.  The song doesn’t stay stuck in the shadows. Kristin declares, “I’ve been set apart, I’ve been set free, from my enemies, against dark powers, rulers, and authorities.” Part of that line echoes Ephesians 6:12: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” W...

"Great Is Thy Faithfulness" by Gethsemane Instrumental: Finding Steady Ground in the Storm

God’s mercies are new every morning — do you notice? “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” by Gethsemane Instrumental is one of the tracks in John Long’s upcoming instrumental project. Gethsemane Instrumental is a space for prayer, a quiet room where listeners can sit with Jesus without distraction. Hardships visited John more than once. He also went through Ministry seasons that tested him in ways that could have hollowed him out. But something kept pulling John back to the same conviction: “He is faithful.” Not faithful when convenient. Not faithful in the easy seasons only. Faithful “through every storm,” standing “unmoved and unwavering” while everything around him shifted. “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” is the first single off John’s upcoming Hymns Devotional Vol. 2 project. This song has been a staple song for him throughout his entire walk with Jesus.  That kind of steadiness isn’t new. Thomas Chisholm penned the original song in 1923, sitting in Baldwin City, Kansas, worn down by frai...
