'For The Sake Of My Soul' by Carli Lessing: Choosing God’s Presence Over Worldly Pleasures


Carli Lessing's song 'For The Sake Of My Soul' can be a bit of a rude awakening for some, because it is all about realizing what is really important in life. The lyrics are teasing you as the listener into taking a closer look at what you're doing throughout the day. Dare to challenge yourself and question how much time you are wasting on endless scrolling, and buying into the latest trends, only to feel that this is increasing your distance to true peace and fulfillment.

Carli Lessing - For The Sake Of My SoulThis song gently points your focus to what your heart needs the most, a deeper connection with God, away from the noise and chaos, including the your social media. Carli calls to prioritize what truly matters, urging you to let go of worldly pursuits that lead nowhere, to turn off the distractions, and to genuinely seek God's presence.

This isn't a new message, but it is a freshing reminder, especially if your in this constant tug-of-war between the world and the Spirit. The push for more, more, more will never cease, but that push for more will never satisfy the deep yearning of our souls for God's eternal peace and love.

Go ahead and give this song a listen. May Carli’s message remind you that sometimes, by giving up on the world’s game, you’re winning much more than you think - a richer relationship with God.

(Related scripture: Philippians 4:8; Matthew 16:26; Luke 9:23)

Secrets Artists Should Learn About The Spotify Algorithm

Spotify's competitive edge is the amount of data it holds on listeners and the way it uses that data to increase engagement. ... Using the same underlying data and technology can provide unique insights to record labels and artists about who's listening to what and help them reach more listeners. The Spotify algorithm sets itself apart from other digital music streaming services. The algorithm is an AI system known as BaRT (an abbreviation of Ba ndits for R ecommendations as T reatments). Basically, BaRT’s job is to keep listeners listening. It does this by playing and suggesting songs it knows the user is familiar with, while dropping in some fresh tracks it thinks they might like, but most importantly, haven’t heard before. This makes sure the listener is engaged, but things never get boring. BaRT decides what to suggest to listeners by combining two concepts – Explore and Exploit. This combination is the key to the platform’s recommendation system. Exploit uses the listene...

"Coming Out Of Babylon" by Robert Peterson and The Crusade: Finding Purpose and Joy in Christ

Robert Peterson had barely dusted off his drum kit when the Lord handed him a new setlist. Robert shares: "this current round of songs being created were different - they were all his - well sort of all his." He had decided it was time to offer up his talents to the Lord. Robert writes: "I was mortified at the thought of actually giving my life to Him. I didn't want to give up who I thought I was."   "Coming Out of Babylon" is the first song coming out of this change (one that was on the shelve a while pending creation of a intro). The result is a five-minute testimony that turns a trembling surrender into a victory march. As you listen, you can feel how this slow ache of "doing what I wanted to… without a fear" transitions into the realization that "I needed You - all the way."   What I enjoy about the song is that it helps to see "leaving" as the first step that is needed to following His calling for us. The chorus emph...
