"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

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...

"How Many Times" by Ben Jero: Falling and Being Caught

Do you feel like you’ve fallen too many times to still be worthy of God’s love? If that is the case, then Ben Jero’s song “How Many Times” carries an important message for you! The song opens with three big questions: “How many times can I fall and you catch me again? // How many sins are too great to not love me again? // How many ways can I go away from your presence?” ** Spoiler alert !! ** God’s love for us is never dependent on what we do! Seriously! It doesn’t matter how far we wander from His presence or how many mistakes we make, God remains faithful. His door is always open! All we need to do is call out to Him and come back home! Ben recalls the story of the prodigal son in his song, as a reminder that “There’s no sin that’s too great // No work that’s undone // Like the prodigal son // You never left me alone.” God doesn’t place any barrier between us and His love because of what we do or have done! God isn’t holding the door shut! Instead of turning away from us when we fa...
