'Take Up Your Cross' by Nettie Ramirez: Confronting Doubt with Divine Assurance


It's easy to see why 'Take Up Your Cross' by Nettie Ramirez is becoming increasingly popular. With the energy and optimism of a young woman, Nettie gets right to the heart of giving our life to following God. She also reminds us that following His path often means embracing uncertainty and facing problems head-on.

Nettie Ramirez - Take Up Your CrossNettie is realistic and is aware of the struggles many face – wanting to steer left or right but feeling directionless. The noise of the world is overwhelming at times, and doesn't make it any easier for us to tune out external pressures. Nettie's lyrics, on the other hand, remind you that God fills in the blanks and encourages you to 'take up your cross and follow me.'

The chorus is powerful and uplifting, emphasizing that despite the pain or difficulties, God will always stand by you.

The second verse is about 'dying to myself and all my dreams'. A scene all so familiar where our faith can waver and make us feel uncertain. Nettie reminds us that God is always there, and calls out us to trust Him fully.

'Take Up Your Cross' will bring comfort whenever you feel the weight of doubt or the pressure of what other people think. God's call and promise stays the same, no matter what challenges you are facing. Do yourself a favor and listen to this song today. I'm confident that this song will shine some light on your day.

(Related scripture: Matthew 16:24; Luke 9:23; John 12:25)

'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...

'Jeremiah 29:11' by Sow In Peace: Connecting to God’s Plan

Mike, the artist behind Sow In Peace, brings us a powerful reminder with his latest track, 'Jeremiah 29:11.' This track has a modern CEDM vibe, blending soothing electronic beats with the timeless promise from God that we can read in Jeremiah 29:11. 'For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' It’s an energetic melody that doesn't distract from the core message, a song that invites you to reflect on God's promise in your life, reminding you that His plans are driven by love and purpose. Mike grew up in a family of musicians, and it shouldn't come as a surprize that music has always been an important part of his life.
