'Refuge' by Badiaco: Finding Salvation in the Song


The story behind Badiaco's contemporary Christian Music (CCM) song 'Refuge' is as moving as the song itself. Let us follow Badiaco, who found salvation years ago, married his high school sweetheart, Barbara, and embarked on a lifelong spiritual journey with her that blossomed into a beautiful faith family.

Badiaco - RefugeBadiaco devoted his musical talents to the Lord, and after a thirty-year sabbatical, he returned to his musical roots, but with a divine purpose. His song 'Refuge,' inspired by Psalm 91:1, bears witness to his spiritual journey.

The lyrics of 'Refuge' are a poignant invitation and declaration—God as an unwavering pillar in our lives, a hand extended in grace and shelter to all seeking salvation. It encourages listeners to open their eyes, hearts, and souls to God's transformative love and protection through open dialogue and a recurring question, 'Why can't you see?'

'Refuge' shows a God whose love is unwavering and constant—a God who patiently waits for us to grasp His outstretched hand. It captures the essence of Badiaco's faith journey, from a dusty bass guitar to the worship team at his Sedona church, where he continues to sing praises to the Lord.

It's an experience as well as a song. So, let 'Refuge' serve as an accompaniment to your spiritual journey as you walk hand in hand with the Love that will never abandon you.

(Related scripture: Psalm 91:1-2; Isaiah 43:2; John 14:6)

'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...

'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. He went on to have a successful career writing music for TV shows and movies after finishing his formal education in music. 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...
