Jack Blair's 'Jesus in the Corner Store': A Deep Dive into Faith and Self-Discovery


Jack Blair's latest song, "Jesus in the Corner Store," captures the struggle we all have of finding our way through life. Jack Blair made an indie pop jam that tells a story of youthful misjudgments and desperate searches for identity. Jack sings about a night full of bad decisions and then seeing Jesus amidst the chaos of a corner store. As he was going down the rabbit hole, it was Jesus that stopped him in his tracks. What a wake-up call! Jesus' words cut deep into the heart and all of our resistance, putting our feet back on the ground and asking why we're wasting our nights pretending to be someone else just to avoid loneliness. 

Jack Blair - Jesus in the corner storeThis song is a powerful reminder to each of us. It's asking us to look in the mirror and honestly ask ourselves if we are chasing after the wrong things. Are we running blind, losing ourselves and our faith along the way? 

Jack Blair's message to us is clear: we're never alone if we seek honestly Jesus' guidance. So, stop running and start listening! It's Jesus in the corner store, at the door of your heart, just waiting for you to reach out and let Him in. Instead of running blind and letting the world distract you, tell Him what's on your mind! He's already next to you, waiting for you to reach out, ready to lead you, walk beside you, and help you find His way.

(Related scripture: Matthew 11:28; Romans 12:2; Mark 8:36)

'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...

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...

"Follow Jesus" by S.D.G.: Unity Through One Teacher

"Follow Jesus" by S.D.G. (Soli.Deo.Gloria) is a song that started in a miraculous way. S.D.G. shared that 95% of the song lyrics, melody, and harmony came to mind completely unexpectedly in 1–2 days. He compares it to lightning, lightly, seemingly without his effort, as if somebody else from High sent it all to him and said, "do it"!  A song sparked by the realization that many people just say, "Has not been born on earth yet… // Man who can wisely teach me life." But look at Jesus! He's already here, sowing love and offering wisdom that is way beyond human understanding.  The song challenges us to reflect on our feelings of pride and self-reliance: "When I do say - I'm always right… Am I not blind?" It invites us to exchange our arrogance for humility and reminds us that Christ already lives among us and guides us with His grace. "Jesus - He lives in our midst, // He's the best teacher that the earth has ever known!"   Th...
