"Kind (Remix by Cory Asbury)" by Josh Bissell: Why Your Doubts Won't Disqualify You


One of the hardest truths to hold is the fact that God's kindness remains when your life seems to be falling apart. Josh Bissell's acoustic cover of Cory Asbury's "Kind" delivers this message with courage and honesty. 

Josh Bissell - Kind (Remix by Cory Asbury )The key message of the song is that it is okay to be real! The lyrics don't flinch from reality: "Sometimes marriages don't work. Sometimes babies die. Sometimes rehab turns to relapse." The pain that you feel is very real and needs to be acknowledged and handled… Yes, it is okay to give voice to your hidden wars, to wonder if God is real, to question why healing seems to be selective, angry at heaven with "fist raised to the sky," or simply feeling that His amazing grace seems to be "for everybody else." 

After more than a few Sundays smiling through pain, pretending that all is well, this song finally names the pain and struggle. But more importantly, it points us to the cross. Instead of offering quick fixes, "Kind" places the crucified Christ right in the center of our suffering. The chorus becomes a defiant declaration: through our holy wars and running away, we've met only kindness. 

So, what burden are you carrying around on your own? This song is your invitation to bring it into the light - place it before God. Your doubts don't disqualify you. Your shame isn't the final word. The very mess you carry is where His kindness shines the most. 

Go ahead, listen closely. May the lyrics validate your struggle and give you the courage to lift your eyes to the One who suffered first. All He's ever been is kind, and His kindness changes everything.

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"Beautiful Son" by John Perkins: The Gospel, Up Close and Personal

Jesus loved us before we deserved it. That’s the key message of “Beautiful Son” by John Perkins. Christ’s beauty rests in humility and love, not just physical brilliance. Taken from his four-song EP “Jesus I Do”, this song makes our celebration of Christ very personal. “Jesus, you love me in spite of myself // I give it all to you // I lay it in your hand.” This “Love”, despite what we do, changes everything. Have you ever felt that kind of love? The kind of love that meets you exactly where you are? But why, you may ask? Why can He love me while I feel weighed down by past mistakes? It’s because forgiveness became real on the cross. The stone rolled away, and death lost its sting. This doesn’t point to suffering, but to freedom. That freedom also means that our worth doesn’t depend on our performance. It depends on His finished work. His beauty isn’t just visual. His love changes water to wine, washes away sin, and His love still sets souls free today. His love changes everything, and...
