'Sinking' by Brayden Tabakian: A Touch of God's Grace


'Sinking' by Brayden Tabakian is an inspiring song. Brayden shares that he wrote it after he decided to change his musical direction to Christian music. He wrote this song in his bedroom while talking to his friend and producer, Drew James, on FaceTime. This was their first collaboration and Brayden's first songwriting effort in months. Brayden had taken a break to rethink the kind of music he wanted to make and message he wanted to send. 'Sinking' seemed to fit both everything he had been feeling inside and the style he wanted for his future songs.

Brayden Tabakian - SinkingIn 'Sinking,' you can hear Brayden's struggle and faith. The song starts with 'Sometimes this life gets crazy, my heart's been slowly breaking.' It's so true when you think about what's going on in the world right now! You might even start to question whether or not God hears us. Then Brayden reminds us of how God's love never changes. He reminds us that God's love can reach us, no matter how far away we are or how crazy the world is getting, with lines like 'Your love is never changing' and 'There is no distance too far'. 

Many will be able to relate to the chorus, which says, 'I just wanna be where you are, consumed by your heart.' It encourages us to look for God in the middle of the chaos. It's inspiring to hear how Brayden went from feeling lost to finding God's grace, and it shouldn't come as a surprise that he wishes that everyone who hears 'Sinking' will strongly feel God's love in their lives. 

I encourage you to listen to 'Sinking.' May its message of hope and comfort help you to open your life to His lifesaving grace.

(Related scripture: Psalm 18:16; Matthew 11:28; Isaiah 41:10 )

"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 ...

"In Victory" by Veanea: Praise Is How You Live in Victory

Jesus rose. That changes everything about today. Veanea had a simple goal: glorify the God of signs and wonders. What she didn’t expect was how quickly He would show up in the process.  Veanea had been working on a verse when a chorus for the song broke through —  “Amazing signs and wonders King!” She sang it over and over, sat down at the keys, and the bridge practically wrote itself. That evening, she prayed honestly, telling God she couldn’t write about His wonders without completely depending on Him. The next morning, on a train, she opened her Bible to Psalm 66. The verses seemed to sing right off the page in the exact melody she’d just received. She laughed, realizing that God had already answered.  That same joy runs through every line of the song. “You calmed the storm and stilled the wind and Your arm split the sea // So I can walk ahead in victory.” The God who parted waters for Israel is the same God who is walking with you through whatever it is that you’re carry...
