Have You Ever Heard the Good News' by Michelle: Sharing the Hope of Salvation


Michelle releases a new song called "Have You Ever Heard the Good News". The process of creating this song started back in October 2019, after dreaming about writing a salvation song. The song was put aside for years, until recently, when she felt that God was telling her that it was time. 

Michelle - Have You Ever Heard the Good NewsThe song has an incredible backstory: two dreams that realigned her music, to music with a divine message. Originally, Michelle was writing songs about her own experiences in the military, but God had other plans for her music. In a dream, she received three words: 'RADIO. PRECEDENCE. SALVATION.' She felt God was telling her to prioritize on sharing the good news of salvation on the radio.

In another dream, she heard the layout of this song, and it felt like God had given her instructions on how to put the song together. She heard the song with an orchestra of music, a female gospel choir, and herself singing, with a crowd of people singing in harmony. But the timing wasn't right. Years later, Michelle felt inspired to record this song, interrupting the work she was doing with her producer on another short album.

The song is about Jesus Christ dying for our sins so that if we believe in him we can have eternal life. The lyrics, 'Have you ever heard the good news? How God sent his only Son to die for you?', making this song a very personal invitation to experience the overwhelming love and grace of Jesus Christ. We know that that we are far from perfect and, despite that, God had a plan to save us. Michelle sings, 'Jesus Christ prophesied to be the King of the world, Jesus Christ crucified for the sins of the world,' the core foundation of our faith.

The chorus, 'Hallelujah, I believe in you,' is a great way to express the joy we have in our faith, a joy that we may also share with others, a message of hope that changes lives. Just like this song starts small, this message once started as a spark of hope in your heart, igniting a fire that continues to develop and grow, changing your life, and has the potential of bringing hope to people around you. Hope that continues to grow when you ask others, 'Have you heard the good news?'

Don't miss out on this blessing - give Michelle's 'Have You Ever Heard the Good News' a listen today.

"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...
