'An Undivided Heart' by Fr Mark Baumgarten: A Call to Wholehearted Living


'An Undivided Heart' by Fr Mark Baumgarten is a refreshing tune, and a prelude for his upcoming album called 'The Little Ones' (available on May 3rd). This song is a call to fully commit to those things that truly matter in life. Fr Mark loves to write songs that touch on deeper themes, and they cover a variety of genres including blues, ballads, gospel, rock and pop.

Fr Mark Baumgarten - An Undivided Heart'An Undivided Heart' is all about ending that the internal tug-of-war, where you're walking that line between past regrets and the hope of what's yet to come. Fr Mark sings that it's time to stop living halfway and fully turn towards the source of true healing and love. This song is a journey from uncertainty to conviction, a personal vow to love without holding anything back.

If you find yourself trapped in the cycle of 'what-ifs,' or feel split by life's demands, then listen close to the lyrics. It's sending a gentle reminder that choosing for a full-hearted commitment over a divided commitment changes how we touch the world around us. As a community of believers, it nudges us towards unity, urging us to live out our faith with bold, undivided hearts.

Give it a listen. Let Fr Mark Baumgarten's 'An Undivided Heart' challenge you, comfort you, and maybe even change the way you see your walk of faith. It’s more than a song; it's a wakeup call to live fully, love deeply, and walk boldly into the life God's calling us to.

(Related scripture: Psalm 86:11; James 1:8; Matthew 6:24)

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?

"Compass (Phileo)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Navigating Life with Faith and Friends

"Compass (Phileo)" by Chelsea Chaisson explores one of the Greek words for love. This song focuses on "phileo" (friendship) and its vital role in life's storms.
