'Born New: Journey to Zion II' by Kosj Yamoah - Celebrate Your True Birthday


Kosj Yamoah's 'BORN NEW: Journey to Zion II (J2Z2)' is a heartfelt anthem with an invitation to celebrate a deeper, spiritual rebirth. Kosj shares that August, his birth month, reminds him of the scars and scrapes he's gathered throughtout his life. As we get older, birthdays lose more and more of their sparkle. 'Born New' intends to reignite true joy by focusing on the day that you surrendered yourself to God - that moment you were truly born. 

Kosj Yamoah - BORN NEW: Journey to Zion II (J2Z2)In the first part of the song, Kosj centers his lyrics around keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus. He sings, 'I don't look to the left or to the right, I got my eyes on the prize I ain't turning back.' What a beautiful reminder to stay focused on your faith journey, followed by a repeated affirmation, 'Brand New, I'm Born New.'

The second part of the song invites you to celebrate a more important 'birthday,' your anniversary of the day that you surrendered yourself to Christ. As Kosj sings 'Happy Birthday' he encourages you celebrate your rebirth in Christ and look forward to the joy that He promises us. 

So, if you're in need of a spiritual pick-me-up, then take a moment to listen to this song. May it ignite a celebration of your new life in Christ and help you to feel 'Born New' every day.

(Related scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ezekiel 36:26; Romans 6:4)

"When I Saw The Light" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Folk, Grace, and the Moment Everything Changes

“When I Saw The Light” captures something painfully familiar — the trap that routine can bring. Tyler Philip Ratcliffe wrote this folk anthem as a follow-up to “This Little Light of Mine,” drawing on his bluegrass roots and the spirit of Bill Monroe’s classic to tell a story many will recognize in themselves. The verses don’t sugarcoat it. “Same faces, same mistakes, same places // Promise that I change it all tomorrow”  — the trap we need to be aware of… The routine masquerading as life. But Ratcliffe doesn’t leave the listener there. The chorus lifts everything: “I traded fake for something honest // Finally doing something right.” That’s the turning point! What makes this song land is its honesty about the moment before a breakthrough. When numbness sets in, when you’ve exhausted every other option — that’s when the light (His light) breaks through. Ratcliffe captures the surprise of grace: “I wasn’t looking for religion // Wasn’t searching for the truth.” Nobody ever is. And ye...

"Living Proof" by Island Tribe Collective: When His People Unite, Mountains Move

(by Jasper Tan) "Living Proof" by Island Tribe Collective (featuring Sherwin Gardner, Marc Isaacs, and Alicia Taylor) is a live recording of a powerful, high-energy worship anthem that embodies what the collective calls "Caribbean Worship." The group invites us into a celebration of faith, utilizing the culture from the Caribbean islands and how they express it as a living proof of God's goodness. The song talks about our faith and the new beginnings that are promised to us after we overcome our struggles and hardships. Their repeated proclamation of "Lord, I'm living proof" aims to drive down the message that each one of us is already a living proof of God's faithfulness love, and mercy. We all have our own unique faith experiences and stories that could somehow inspire the people around us. So for those of us who have been know for our strong faith, being able to overcome our struggles and testify about it, brings a more concrete testimony an...

"Dancing In Your Light" by Ora Street Mission Band: Shining Through Everyday Acts

Ora Street Mission Band put their finger on something important with "Dancing In Your Light." It's the fact that (as Christians) we don't generate our own light, we reflect God's light. It's like the moon reflecting the sun at night. As Christians, we are called to be lights to the world! The vibe of the song draws from a rich musical palette, inspired by The Police, Weather Report, and Toto, giving the song a contemporary groove that matches the song's present-day message. The song encourages you to come into action. So, what does it look like to live as a bearer of His light? The lyrics try to compare this with a firefly lit from within, and a lighthouse holding firm before a raging sea. Each comparison points to the same truth… His light is given to be shared with others. "If he has illuminated you, then fly and be free!" Jesus declared, "I am the light of the world." This song turns that fact into a call to action. Shine, move, and...
