Inspired by the verses John 3:30, Philippians 3:7–8, and John 10:27, Rorie releases "He Must Increase", a beautiful song that reminds us of the sound of CCM from the 2000s, easily the era when the rise of CCM was at its peak. Rorie sings the song with earnestness as she opens the lines "The seasons change and we are aging, But You alone are God of the ages." You'll immediately know that this song is putting God front and center. There's a certain aspect of the song that clearly wants to remind us that God will always be bigger than us. That his glory and mercy will always shine through, and we are mere travelers in the world that he built. Everything emanates from him, and we cannot claim to be bigger than God.  It's a humbling reminder that what we have, what we attained, it all comes as a blessing that He has gifted to us. We cannot claim that it is our works that brought us the joys and triumphs. These gifts and accomplishments are nothing without Hi...

In their song, 'The Might of Heaven's King,' whispering HOPE takes us to the dramatic scene that is found in Revelation 20:1–3. The song opens with a vivid vision: "An angel coming down from heaven // The key of depths to him was given // A chain held firm within his hand // Prepared by God at His command // He seized the serpent, ancient foe // That Devil known from long ago // The dragon bound before the throne // His power checked, his rule overthrown." The song starts with God's restraint of evil and emphasizes the absolute authority of Christ, but how does this translate to our lives today?  Have you ever wondered when the noise of this world will finally fall silent? I know that I do almost every day now, when I watch/read the news! I ask myself, what chain of events will this craziness/noise trigger next? But this darkness/noise isn't the focus of this song!  The takeaway of this song is to reflect on our response to the noise. Not just the respons...

How often do we dream of Heaven? That eternal destination where everything is perfect and filled with tranquil peace? Madison Marlyn's latest single, "A Place Prepared," evokes that perfect feeling of heavenly bliss. Madison is able to encapsulate it all through the words that she sings in this song. The song is beautifully crafted, where the melody empowers the lyrics of the song, magnificently bonded together to tug at our heartstrings and stir our souls. There are no pretensions and grandstanding. Madison just straightforwardly delivers her image of the home that she long dreamed of resting in. The music beautifully brings to life the imagery she describes of what Heaven would look like. And this isn't something that she ordinarily dreams of, but rather this is an image that is deeply inspired by her Faith and in believing what God has promised us… Eternal Life. Madison was inspired by the fleeting colors of dusk, as she let the song capture a sense of longing and ...

Beneath this gentle Americana-style song, "Tucker's Song" by Stephen M. Miller, is the heartbreak of a seven-year-old boy. The day his grandson had to say goodbye to his dog, Tucker, he asked Stephen, "Will you write a song for Tucker? Can we pretend he's still around?" How can you not say "Yes" to such a request?  This song offers comfort by simply being honest. Instead of dramatizing the grief, the message sits with it and invites the listener to reflect as well. It's lines like "Sing the song to Tucker, sing to all dogs gone away" that remind us that precious memories endure. Have you ever asked yourself how to comfort a grieving child? I know that these situations often remind me that we're all searching for hope after more than one loss! On top of that, how can you extend that hope to a grieving child? Even in situations like the loss of a dear four-legged pet, there is a message of faith to be found: "Sing to God, the...

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. As Chris shares, the song is about trusting G...
