'Jeremiah 29:11' by Sow In Peace: Connecting to God’s Plan

Mike, the artist behind Sow In Peace, brings us a powerful reminder with his latest track, 'Jeremiah 29:11.' This track has a modern CEDM vibe, blending soothing electronic beats with the timeless promise from God that we can read in Jeremiah 29:11. 'For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' It’s an energetic melody that doesn't distract from the core message, a song that invites you to reflect on God's promise in your life, reminding you that His plans are driven by love and purpose. Mike grew up in a family of musicians, and it shouldn't come as a surprize that music has always been an important part of his life.

While living the fast-paced Los Angeles lifestyle, he gave his life to Christ and found a new calling—a calling to slow down and re...

"This Is Your Heaven" by Jim Vierra: Feel the Promise

“This Is Your Heaven”, Jim Vierra latest release featuring grammy award artist Ceron Mays, Latavius Mulzac and Madeline Statter, is a powerful gospel track. It's a song that brings together the uplifting power of gospel music with contemporary rap. The lyrics reflect the happiness and hope we all may have in Christ, knowing that God has prepared where we can be with Him one day.

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives.

Mohammed K Paika’s ‘Just Human’: A Call to Unity and Peace

Just Human' by Mohammed K Paika, is a touching and very relevant song about the growing lack of unity and peace in this world. Our world… where it seems that we have lost touch with the essence of our shared humanity. The song calls us to break down barriers - religious and political - and see each other as children of God. Sure, we can all point to politicians who sanction the violance, the children who pull knives (or worse) instead of talking, and the list goes on. But nothing will change until we change what we can. It starts with us, you and me.  Mohammed's voice, combined with a unique musical blend of drums, synths, guitars, and piano, takes you on a musical journey that encourages you to find peace amid all of the global turmoil we see.  The message of this song is so relevant, as we see the number of conflicts growing, like Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, and many more that don't even make the 6 o'clock news. Mohammed writes lyrics like, 'In the depths of...
