'He Can't' by Ryan Jones – Overcoming with Christ

Ryan Jones releases 'He Can't', a joyful and powerful reminder of the victory we have through Christ. It has a fun, upbeat, Christian pop vibe that really hooks you right in, with an important message. Ryan sings about how the enemy is fighting us, and constantly trying to disrupt our walk with God. But here's the kicker - the enemy can't win if we let Christ fight the fight for us. Ryan boldly declares that 'we are overcomers through Jesus Christ'.  In the first verse, Ryan sings, 'Thought he had me, thought he won. Yeah, the enemy he thought that I was good as gone.' I'm sure you've had times when you felt like giving up because you had too much to handle. I know I have! This song helps us remember that the 'enemy's' plans don't last long. 'He can try to steal my joy, and he can try to steal my peace. But he can't take away what my Lord has given me.'   This song is filled with the assurance that no matter what

'Dance with the Devil' by Brittany Bexton: Breaking Free from Destructive Cycles

Brittany Bexton's new song 'Dance with the Devil' is a powerful song that we believe you want to hear. Brittany, a Nashville singer/songwriter, digs deep into her own pain and the heartache that she sees in so many other people who are in abusive relationships. She knows how hard it is to watch loved ones suffer. She says, 'Kick that devil to the curb, you deserve so much better!' This song is her way of shouting out all of the things that she couldn't say before, and hopefully giving others the courage to break free from their own destructive cycles. The message applies to a broader scope than abusive relationships. It also applies to any situation where you are controlled or pushed to do things against your will. E.g., situations where partners stop you from living your faith or limit you to becoming the best version of you. That is also a form of abuse! The lyrics are powerful, especially when you realize where Brittany is coming from. She sings, 'You

'One Divine' by Conor Stone - Turning Despair into Heavenly Assurance

Conor Stone released a song called: 'One Divine'. It is a song filled with hope, with lyrics that pull you from the edge of despair and point you to the warmth you will find in God's ever-present love. Conor's message comes from personal experience, having tumbled down two flights of stairs, waking up expecting the worst, only to find that God's hand kept him safe. Conor didn't understand how he managed to come out of this with just a few bruises. A nurse commented: 'God was looking out for you.' He joked, 'Why was God looking after an atheist tonight?' Connor's rude awakening came when the nurse replied: 'Because he has a purpose for you. Listen to him.'   In 'One Divine,' Conor takes Psalm 91 and uses it to share his story of survival and faith. The lyrics, 'You called to me in the darkness… You are my fortress on the hill,' is his lifeline. Conor brings an encouraging message of God's protection and the light

'Where Breakthrough Starts' by Maria Segerholm and Ed Marl: Finding Hope in Harmony

Maria Segerholm and Ed Marl bring a song that came to Maria during a dream last May. The song is called 'Where Breakthrough Starts.' Maria recalls that she could only remember parts of the melody when she woke up, and that she was singing the song as a duet with a man. She quickly got up and recorded a voice memo of what she remembered and was able to finish the song a couple days later.  Maria shares that she wanted this song to be a proclamation of hope in the midst of struggle, and emphasize that God already knows our concerns, before we even share them with Him (Matthew 6:8). 'Down on my knees, and I can't find the words, I know You know my concerns,' He is already attuned to every silent prayer and unshed tear.  'Here in Your presence, is where breakthrough starts,' reminding us where true change starts, that God has the power to create 'rivers in deserts' (Isaiah 43:19), and bring peace through even a gentle breeze (1 Kings 19:12). Our God deli

'Blessed' by Natasha Cash - Your Soundtrack to Living in Grace

Natasha Cash's 'Blessed' is a song of praise, looking back at life's highs and lows, realizing that she is blessed with God's unconditional love and the joy that comes from living in His light. Natasha's love for music came from her mother. She would wake Natasha and her sister up every Saturday morning to clean the house, which wasn't much fun, but that changed when her mother added music. It quickly became a family tradition, and has become her love, her therapy, and her passion, expressing her gratitude and acknowledgment of being blessed. Natasha shares: 'I have loved music, singing, acting, and performing since I was a little girl. I grew up in a family filled with love, support, and appreciation for entertainment, but most importantly faith in God.'  She continues: 'The lyrics in this song were inspired by my desire to express my heart in a way that people from all walks of life could relate to. No matter what's going on in the world, w

Finding Hope in the Storm: 'He Delivers' by DJ Sm!th Tells Us How

When the going gets tough, DJ Sm!th's song 'He Delivers' reminds us that God will be there for us. The inspiration for this song came to DJ Sm!th as he was reading the following passage in Job: 'He delivers the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ear to adversity.' These words more or less jumped off the page, and by the end of the day, 'He Delivers' was born.  'In the darkest night, in the fiercest storm,' the lyrics remind us that no matter how heavy the world feels or how torn our hearts may be, we are never alone. God catches us when we fall, delivers us from our afflictions and guides us through our pains. It's a comforting and reassuring message every one of us needs to hear: His love is a river, His grace, the key, and it's there for all who invite God to be part of their lives. Give 'He Delivers' a listen. May DJ Sm!th's melody and the truths in these lyrics boost your faith, reminding you that God's love i

'Higher Ground' by Noah Hobson - Finding Hope on Higher Ground

'Higher Ground,' a song by Noah Hobson, is a beautiful song that focusses on Christ's sacrifice and God's endless grace. The lyrics were inspired by Luke 22:42, where Jesus asks the Father to 'take this cup from me.' When we think about that important moment in Gethsemane and how it relates to our own struggles and victories, we too can say, 'You took this cup and saved me from myself on higher ground.'   As you listen, you'll hear the sincerity of Noah in every line, speaking to everyone that is in need of a fresh start: 'I stand on higher ground, And that is where my hope is found. I am laying down what's proud, and now I'm found on higher ground.' These words aren't just song lyrics; they illustrate that Christ can give us new faith and ultimate freedom (if you invite Him into your life).  'Higher Ground' strikes a chord with anyone that is struggling with their shortcomings, and shares a message of the redemption and
