'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 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.

'The Fall' by Josh Wright: Embracing Healing Through Pain

Josh Wright's new song, 'The Fall,' is about the dark and heavy moments that often come with loss, grief, and sin. Most of us have been there, feeling a deep sense of guilt and shame. But that is not where God wants us to linger! Yes, it's important to understand the consequences of our actions, but there is also a next chapter. God wants us to 'get up' and 'keep going.' Josh beautifully sings about this next chapter in 'The Fall.' With lyrics like, 'I didn't want the valley, I didn't want the dark,' you can feel the pain and reluctance that Josh experienced. He continues, 'Nobody wants to stumble or ever hit the ground. Nobody wants to have to hurt for healing to be found.' Josh emphasizes that although we're not looking for pain, it does play an important part in understanding God's love. If there is no contrast, e.g., no pain, then how will we be able to appreciate God's love and plan for us? This is how
