'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 )

"You Are Holy" by Spirit Worship: Honest Worship When Hope Runs Thin

Honest worship starts exactly where your pain is. Years of loss pushed the songwriter behind “You Are Holy” into a wilderness. Loved ones died, jobs and homes disappeared, health and finances faltered, and a church plant that failed. Most worship songs felt dishonest to him during that season, so the Psalms became his lifeline. “You Are Holy” sits down beside you and tells the truth. “It’s hard to be patient with nothing but time.” “It’s hard to be hopeful when everything dies.” Have you ever whispered something like that? That’s okay, it’s what we do next that makes a difference! “Yet though I am suffering, I’ll trust in Your name.” David faced that same kind of challenge in Psalm 13. He opens with “How long, O LORD?” and lands here: “But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.” His circumstances barely moved between the first verse and verse five, but his gaze did. You can do the same today. Be honest with God. Tell Him exactly how heavy e...

"My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)" by Avery Stafford: One Heart at Peace Can Change the Room

Peace begins in a willing heart. When did you last open your own time capsule? Avery Stafford found a time capsule somewhere in his mind and opens it in his song “My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)”. His time capsule contained a Folgers can filled with buttons and thread, a crystal globe, a denim patch, and the scent of Avon cologne. Seemingly ordinary treasures, but each one carries a Christmas that he’s never stopped loving. Avery blends gospel warmth with soulful pop to speak to the child in all of us, the child who still believes that Love leads the way. In the bridge, he wishes that child well, “forever dancing under the starlight with stories yet to tell.” The song also reminds us that memories alone cannot fix a restless / broken world, and he knows it: “We long for happily ever afters, but none of us really knows.” So where does peace begin? Not in a headline, a treaty, the outcome of the midterms, or a December calendar. Paul gives us an answer in Colossians 3:15: “And...

"Road to Heaven - Unplugged" by Crossroads Soul Revival: Heaven Is Not So Far Away

Heaven feels closer when you pray honestly. Two musicians created this unplugged rendition of “Road to Heaven”. One acoustic guitar and one live voice. No studio polish or AI assistance, no layers, nothing to hide behind. “Road to Heaven” began months ago as a GenAI-assisted release, and it deserved a human makeover. This stripped-down remake emphasizes what the song always intended to be: an honest and transparent prayer. Have you ever prayed like that? Nothing to hide, just showing God what’s really going on? The lyrics skip all of the fancy words. “Lord, I cannot make it on my own,” and continues with a confession, “I’ve never served You like I know I really could.” The singer keeps walking, open for what God does next, because “Heaven’s not so far away.” Crossroads Soul Revival blends gritty Southern soul and blues vibe with an unapologetic Gospel message, and the grit fits. The road to Heaven isn’t a polished highway. It’s a road that belongs to tired, imperfect people who need ...
