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)

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...
