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.

"Run There" by Hayden Snook: When Life Overwhelms, Here's Where to Go

What do you do when life feels like too much? When the noise, the pressure, and the emotional weight won't let up? Hayden Snook found his answer — and he wrote it into "Run There."  Born out of a moment of genuine overwhelm, this folk rock track doesn't pretend everything is fine. Instead, Snook leans into the tension. "I may stray, I may move — all those feelings held within me are nothing to Your victory." Our struggles are real, but so is the God who meets us in it.  The lyrics recall some of Scripture's most powerful moments, like David crying out in anguish, the stone rolling away, men standing firm in the face of death. These moments are proof and they give each of us hope that we can build on today. If God showed up then, He'll show up now.  "Run There" is an invitation to trust God. "You may stray, you may move — there's nothing our God can't do." So don't walk… Run to Him! Give "Run There" a listen...

"Vine" by Oludee: Fruitfulness Through Surrender

(by Jasper Tan) "Vine" by Oludee is a very beautiful, soulful song that talks about trust, surrender, and putting our Faith in God.

It's easy listening and soulful, which can be a good song to listen to during our moments of devotion and personal worship with God.

Using Vine as a metaphor, it serves as a symbol of life, nourishment, and protection. This recurring re...
