'Free' by Chrystal: A Journey from Bondage to Liberty


Chrystal released a song called 'Free'. It is about releasing the chains of our past mistakes and stepping into the hope and freedom that Christ offers us. Her own journey through pain and transformation is the red line through this song, and let me tell you… it is an amazing journey! Read Chrystal's story before you listen to the song, and I promise you, you'll appreciate the lyrics even more. 

Chrystal - FreeChrystal's father passed away a few years ago, and she entered into an abusive relationship. This led to severe depression and anxiety. Her anxiety was so bad that when she tried to do everyday activities, she would start to shake all over. The only time she wouldn't shake was when she was singing. God took me through a healing process, and today she is the victorious woman that God created her to be. This song is her testimony to His restoring power.

With this small insight into Chrystal's life, the lyrics you hear her sing carry so much more meaning, 'You came that I may be free, You came that I may worship free, free from the weight of the sin that had me bound you rescued me.' The beauty is that this gift isn't just for Chrystal, it's also a gift that is just waiting for you to pick up and accept. You too can worship and live freely because of Christ's sacrifice!

So, this song doesn't just tell Chrystal's story; it's also telling your (future) story, how the bounds of your past are broken by the sacrifice of Christ… if you let Him! Join Chrystal as she sings, 'Now I can say I am free, now I can say I am free,' because this is the joy we all may feel when we accept His gift of freedom.

May listening to 'Free' be part of your healing, sparking your own journey toward freedom. Embrace His gift of eternal freedom, so you can walk strong in His ways and never look back.

Riley Clemmons - Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix (CCM)

Riley Clemmons has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix. The song 'Inside My Head' was born out of a season of pain and healing. As a result, the song has a way of speaking about life's difficulties that is accessible and relatable to everyone.  "As I was writing and dreaming up this record, "says Riley, "there was never a plan to create anything but honest music, born from hurting, growing, and healing. I collected songs for this body of work much like I collected every experience I found myself in the middle of over the past couple of years... the highs & lows, the conversations with God, the questions about my identity, the heartbreak, and the healing." Although the music addresses life's hurts, it does much more than that. The trials of life, according to Clemmons, are ordained by God so we can draw close to him. "The thread that began to connect them all quickly became the idea tha...

'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...
