The James Jennings Project Sings ‘Till You Look Good From The Inside Out’


The James Jennings Project did it again with this inspiring third release, 'Till You Look Good From The Inside Out', from the upcoming album 'Hitchhiking On A Narrow Road'. This song is reminder to look beyond the surface, because it is the inside that really matters. Don't let the outward appearances be your motivation for doing things, especially if your going through the motions for others to see. God looks beyond the superficial, because it's our inner self that truly defines who we are and what our true intentions are.

The James Jennings Project - Till You Look Good From The Inside OutIn today's world, it's easy to get caught up in what we own or how we look. The brand names on our clothes, the type of car we drive, even the bible that we visibly carry with us on our way to church... These comparisons often start in school, and the society around us often continues these comparisons throughout life. How often do you see that people go out of their way to live in certain areas or go to prestigious universities in order to get better jobs? Doing good to specific people, because you never know how you may need to call in a favor later on. We're often so focused on the outside, that we forget or possibly make a mess of the inside. 'You can make lots of money, and you can buy some fine, fine clothes,' the lyrics say, and this quickly brings us back to the truth: 'That won't change who you really are.' This song challenges us to look beyond the surface and focus on what's inside. What really drives our actions and choices? What relationship are we placing first in our life?

James Jennings doesn't mince words in this song. He points out that superficial fixes won't change your core: 'You can try to get in touch with yourself, but that won't change you into somebody else.' You're not going to find true transformation in worldly solutions.

So, why do you fancy up the outside when it's the inside that really counts? Go ahead and listen to 'Till You Look Good From The Inside Out'. May this song inspire you to take the steps that result in real change. It's an invitation to reflect, fill yourself with God's love and goodness, and share it with the world.

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.'

Avery Stafford's "Manna (Come on Down)": A Reminder of God's Faithfulness

Avery Stafford's "Manna (Come on Down)" is a beautiful reminder that God never forgets us. The song was inspired by Avery's own journey of faith. He remembers how excited he felt as a 7-year-old standing in front of a church in San Jose, CA, when he said "yes" to Jesus. Avery has that same fire and excitement for God's constant presence and provision today.  The song's title is a nod to a youth rally called Mannafest, emphasizing that God continues to provide for us amidst life's challenges, just as He provided manna in the wilderness. God reigns, even though hopelessness, loneliness, and disappointments constantly plague our world. The acts and consequences of people's choices can distract our focus from God. It is through lyrics like "Remind me, Lord, just why I need You living in my dreams" and "Spirit, come on down," that Avery calls us to remember God's unending faithfulness and reignite our initial love and de...
