Go all in. It looks good on a t-shirt. It looks good on a Christ-follower, too. Unfortunately, we are really good at half-way when it comes to our devotion to the Lord. I find myself going in spurts. I’m all in for awhile and then I get distracted...
What kinds of choices do you make in the face of fear? Building 429’s song “Fear No More” is an anthem born out of a personal time when fear led the songwriters to seek God. There’s a king in Scripture that was faced with fear more than once. His...
It’s easy to believe that a traumatic event can be the end of your story. It often feels very much like the end. Tauren Wells’ song, “God’s Not Done With You,” reminds us that God is not done writing your story. There are examples of this all over...
Are you on the verge of giving up on God? You read all about how He redeems and restores, but you haven’t seen it come to pass yet. Unspoken’s song “Reason” reminds us that God’s love underpins everything and is enough to keep us believing. I can’t...

One of my favorite ways to understand Scripture is to consider the opposite. Whatever it IS becomes clearer for me when I think about what it’s NOT. Michael Ketterer does that for us in the song, “Spirit Lead Me,” when he reminds us that chasing...
When we were new parents we logged every aspect of our new baby’s life. Some family members mocked us, but for my husband and me it gave us a feeling of control — as if by writing it down we could influence the outcome. In his song, “I’m Gonna Let...
It’s time. It’s time to get a little excited about how great God really is. Strike up the band (or at least Newsboys United’s song “Greatness of Our God”) and turn to Psalm 150, because it’s time to acknowledge the greatness of our God. Do you keep...
