Stoned Loner has released a Christian Hip Hop track called 'Mercy'.
Stoned Loner shares: "The story is more just about my life and the journey God has taken me on to finally see His light. I was depressed for years, and I wanted to end this life a few times. But God was in me somewhere, even though I was unsure who or what it was. And He told me to hold on and give it time.
What I ultimately learned by holding on is that life is about perspective. And my perspective all those years was one of negativity. I saw the world as unsafe, deceitful, manipulative, and hopeless. And it's not necessarily that I was wrong. My perspective was my reality. But I realized that I could change my perspective, and therefore also change my reality. So I began to see life as hopeful. I began to see people as trustworthy. I started believing that I could do whatever I want. And then I didn't see life as stressful anymore. I didn't see it as depressing. I saw it as an opportunity. I saw it as a gift. And that's God's mercy. He renews your mind and shows you that this world is a place of wonder, not just chaos. We have to choose life, and then we can finally live."
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. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God. The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God. Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Tears of the Lamb (Radio Edit)" by Avery Stafford retells the well-known story of Christ's sacrifice with a deep personal gratitude. A new rendition of a song that Avery first introduced at a 1993 youth rally on a humble blue cassette tape (!) with the lyrics that focus on Jesus' innocence, His willingness to suffer, and the mystery of a love that is beyond anything we are able to comprehend. Instead of dwelling only on the sorrow, Avery points us to the hope that His tears have made possible. You hear him marvel at Christ's mercy, remind us of His forgiveness even in suffering, and celebrate the healing that comes from a life that He has made whole. The message in this worship anthem, reimagined with cinematic flair, is simple (but not easy): Jesus gave everything, and there is nothing we can do or could have done to earn such an ultimate sacrifice. "With tears in Your eyes, You died for me," but most of all, the lyrics highlight redemption's triu...
