'Shadow of the Cross' by Jennifer Graf - Finding Freedom Where Love Flowed Down


As I listen to 'Shadow of the Cross' by Jennifer Graf, I am reminded how much Jesus loves us, so much that He gave up His life so we would be free and victorious. It's easy to picture Jesus on the cross, but yet it is so difficult to comprehend that He would willingly take on all of the pain and suffering that should have been ours.

Jennifer Graf - Shadow of the CrossThis song beautifully captures the essence of what it means to be a Christian - a call to lay down your burdens and find freedom in the arms of Jesus. It's about remembering that, no matter what we face, we're not alone. Jesus bore the ultimate agony, a crown of humility pressed into His brow, so that we could live in victory.

Jennifer invites you to reflect on this amazing love story. With every note, she reminds us that our debt has been erased and our chains broken; all because Jesus willingly gave His life for us. 

I recommend listening to this song. It's not just an enjoyable song; it also has an important message to share. It will remind you of how free and victorious you are in Jesus. Allow it to strengthen your faith and encourage you to put down your burdens 'in the shadow of the cross'.

(Related scripture: Isaiah 53:5; Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21)

'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

'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
