Arcadia Worship's 'Overflows (Live)': A River of Renewal


You've got to listen to Arcadia Worship's new song, 'Overflows (Live).' It's a heartfelt plea for God to enter our life, heal the brokenness in our heart (and the world around us), and shape us. Just like rivers can shape rocks and canyons, and water can find its way through the barricades. The lyrics call for a divine restoration and witnessing the impact of God's love and justice. 

Arcadia Worship - Overflows (Live)The opening lines, 'This world you created, this land that you gave us,' remind us that our lives are gifts, His gifts to us, a gift with a larger plan behind it. But, as imperfect as we are, 'Our sin has made dirty' the gift that was meant for beauty. The chorus is where you really feel the heartbeat of the song: 'Let your river run deep into our soul, carve a canyon into our heart of stone.' A reminder that we really need God's redeeming love to 'flood' / saturate every part of our life and the community around us. 

The live recording of 'Overflows' was made last March, and has already touched so many hearts. The band shares that they receive inquiries about the song almost every week, people eager to know more about the artist and where to find it. An official release of the song is a logical next step, and they hope that it will find its way into the hearts of listeners and encourage lives of worship & reflection outside of the church walls and Sunday services. 

May the plea in this song extend into your streets and homes, asking God to fill it with His justice and love until it overflows. And may this song encourage you to live a life that prayerfully reflects His image.

(Related scripture: Ezekiel 36:26; Amos 5:24; Isaiah 58:11)

'The Fall' by Josh Wright: Embracing Healing Through Pain

Josh Wright's new song, 'The Fall,' is about the dark and heavy moments that often come with loss, grief, and sin. Most of us have been there, feeling a deep sense of guilt and shame. But that is not where God wants us to linger! Yes, it's important to understand the consequences of our actions, but there is also a next chapter. God wants us to 'get up' and 'keep going.'  Josh beautifully sings about this next chapter in 'The Fall.' With lyrics like, 'I didn't want the valley, I didn't want the dark,' you can feel the pain and reluctance that Josh experienced. He continues, 'Nobody wants to stumble or ever hit the ground. Nobody wants to have to hurt for healing to be found.'   Josh emphasizes that although we're not looking for pain, it does play an important part in understanding God's love. If there is no contrast, e.g., no pain, then how will we be able to appreciate God's love and plan for us? This is how

'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
