Ryan Patrick White's "As For Me and My House": A Story of Redemption and Faith


In "As For Me and My House" Ryan Patrick White tells about how Jesus radically changed his life. The song begins with the time that Ryan was struggling with addiction and pride. Ryan shares how his life turned from darkness into finding light in Christ.

Ryan Patrick White - As For Me and My HouseRyan shares how a faithful Christian brother encouraged him to re-evaluate his old work (live performances and releases) on his YouTube & Instagram channels, in which he was glorifying Satan and his own pride. This resulted in deleting approximately 300 videos on his YouTube channel, losing thousands of views, and deleting his Instagram account. He also walked away from a very promising musical career because that music was deep into the occult and Satanism at that point. 

Fueled by his newfound faith, Ryan dedicates his life to God's glory. You recognize this radical change as Ryan sings lyrics like, "If it doesn't glorify God, it glorifies the liar," lyrics that underscore his decision to literally abandon his past idols. The lyrics emphasize the importance of prayer and encourage us to look to Jesus as the only source of true light and redemption.

May Ryan's journey in "As For Me and My House" remind you that it is through Christ that you too will always be able to find hope and redemption, no matter how far you've gone astray. If you're feeling lost, may this song help you to see that Jesus is ready to change your life, just like He did for Ryan.

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...
