Finding Courage in 'Trying to Spread the Life of Jesus' by Alex Trails: An Anthem for the Faithful


Alex Trails' song 'Trying to Spread the Life of Jesus' has an important message about sharing Christ's love and life with others. It talks about how hard it can be to tell others about your faith when some people don't want to hear it.

Alex Trails - Trying To Spread the Life of JesusAlex is an experienced artist from the UK, and he brings a unique view to Christian music. He self-taught himself everything he knows about music too! This song comes straight from Alex's heart. He wants to connect people who don't believe in God's never-ending love.

Talking about Jesus to non-believers isn't always easy. But Alex reminds us that Jesus is always there for everyone, supporting us wherever we go, and He opens doors when you least expect it. Sharing the gospel of Christ with others is a matter of not giving up, even when we feel discouraged. It's not about being pushy, but about being prepared to speak when prompted by the Spirit, and taking His lead on how we share it. Plant the seed through your words and example, letting Jesus guide you (and others) to touching hearts and helping the seedling grow.

Have a listen and let Alex's words inspire you to find your own way of sharing the gospel of Jesus with others. When the time is right, He will help you share His message of faith, hope, and love. You've got this - don't stop trying to spread the good news!

(Related scripture: Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; 1 Peter 3:15)

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"Fishers of Men" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Dropping Your Nets and Following Without Looking Back

Jesus doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.  “Fishers of Men” by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe was written back in July of 2024. It was the first Christian folk-style song that Tyler had ever written, and he had no idea at the time that God was going to pull him in that direction. It’s a favorite among his friends and family, and God recently laid it on his heart to share it with the rest of the world.  The song draws from the ordinary moments when Jesus walked up to fishermen and tax collectors and said two words that changed everything: “Follow Me.”   What strikes you in the lyrics is the honesty. “My friends thought I was crazy, and my folks just shook their heads.” Following Jesus has always looked strange from the outside. Peter left a fishing business. Matthew walked away from a lucrative government post. Neither of these men had it all figured out, but they simply responded to a call they couldn’t ignore.  Maybe you also know that feeling. The moment ...

"Worthy Beyond Measure" by whispering HOPE: Why Every Knee Will Bow

What would change if you started every day remembering who Jesus truly is? Before the first star was placed in the sky, before time had a name, Jesus was already seated in perfection —  “clothed in power, crowned in praise.” That’s where whispering HOPE takes us in their song “Worthy Beyond Measure.” This song is rooted in the breathtaking vision of Revelation 4 and 5, where all of heaven falls silent, then erupts in worship before the throne.  The song opens with eternity in view. Not history, not yesterday — eternity. “Every title finds its ending, every throne must bow its knee.” Every system of power, every president, every human achievement, every name that ever commanded a room — all of it will yield to one Name. That perspective reframes everything we face today, and that isn’t a call to start pointing fingers. When you point your finger at someone, there are still three fingers pointing back at you. This is where the song makes it personal. Heaven’s King didn’t stay distan...
