'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. 

Dax - Lonely Dirt RoadThe 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 when we go through hard times with God by our side, we come out stronger. 

You see, 'Lonely Dirt Road' isn't just about Dax's journey. This is also our journey, and most of us know this place all too well. So, hop on a ride with Dax and let this song inspire you. This is a journey where you too can sing: 'I found God and filled that hole // It's He, myself, and I on that lonely dirt road'.

(Related scripture: Matthew 6:6; 1 Peter 5:7; Psalm 147:3)

"Thankful" by John Long: Gratitude in Every Season

"Thankful" is a song that John Long wrote while looking back on a period where he spent years leading worship in a move of God that changed his life. John writes: "I saw miracles, restoration, and hearts returning to Jesus. That season also ended painfully for me, and I had to learn how to stay tender and keep worship centered on Him when the noise faded."   This song isn't about dwelling on our feelings of loss. It's about choosing gratitude, remembering what God has done, and looking forward to returning to Him with gratefulness. It's about opening our eyes to see that He is shining in our lives and always there to light up the way forward, even in the darkest times. Recognize and acknowledge His hand with gratitude.  "Thankful" invites us to start by placing our trust and focus on Jesus. It encourages us to look forward to the simplicity of just being with Him, instead of allowing ourselves to get lost in the noise of fleeting moments and ot...

"Jesus Christ" by Robin Vane: From Shame to Mercy, One Surrender at a Time

Robin Vane's "Jesus Christ" is a beautiful EDM track with a powerful message. A message, or better said, a testimony, that you'd expect to hear across a coffee table, or during an informal church gathering. It's raw, honest, and quietly brave. The song starts by looking back to a younger self, when he "had no hope" and "stopped believing," stuck in a season where it was "dark," lonely, and defeating. In other words, it names the kind of despair many people hide, even today, including our younger generations.  Robin continues to sing about when the turning point hit: Jesus "knocked on the door," and how he opened up to "love in the flesh." He also sings about what happened when Grace found him before he was able to clean himself up… Robin shares, "I surrendered and fell to my knees," and "I was weeping for the first time." That moment became a line in the sand for Robin: "I will never...
