"Whisper Above My Shout" by Tyler Ratcliffe: Hearing God's Gentle Call


"Whisper Above My Shout" by Tyler Ratcliffe is a powerful reminder God's voice is constant and always clear, even when we're going through life's loudest storms. Tyler shares, "When I was writing 'Whisper Above My Shout', I kept coming back to this moment. We've all been there, where life feels loud, overwhelming, like you're crying out but you can't hear God's voice through the noise. And that's when I realized: He's never stopped speaking."

Tyler Ratcliffe - Whisper Above My ShoutGod doesn't whisper out of weakness—His whisper is an authoritative call that cuts through all of the noise and confusion we may be facing. Tyler emphasizes this in the lyrics: "I heard a whisper louder than the demons shout." He reminds us that no matter how loud the storm gets, we can count on His voice to always be louder.

Tyler shares that the inspiration for this song came from Mark 5, where Jesus encounters a man tormented by demons. Despite the chaos that was surrounding him, Jesus spoke with calm authority, freeing the man from his torment, a man who was surrounded by death, crying out day and night, and no one that could help him. Tyler writes from personal experience and acknowledges that it's the "demons inside" that are rattling our souls, and at the same time he affirms that "His gentle word gave back my life."

May this song encourage you to quiet yourself and listen for God's voice calling you back. God has better plans for you. He is with you, even when you feel lost in the noise and chaos of life. Reach out to Him, because when He speaks, darkness has no choice but to flee. That is the power of His voice! Give the song a listen—you won't regret it.

(Related scripture: Mark 5:1-20; Isaiah 43:18-19; Jeremiah 29:11)

'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...

"One True Savior" by Josh Grove: A Battle Cry of Faith and Hope

"One True Savior" is the first studio-produced single of Josh Grove, a 15-year-old Christian singer/songwriter, and what a debut this is! This is the kind of song that feels like a warm, comforting, and encouraging hug when life feels a bit too much. The lyrics remind us of God's goodness, especially when we're feeling weighed down by discouragement or "the enemy's" lies. "I was feeling down // I was buying out // Lies from the devil's mouth," the lyrics confess, and shifts with a message of hope: "But now I've been feeling close to You." Such a relatable testimony, and honestly, who hasn't been there before? This song is a battle cry, and it triumphantly declares, "I've been saved // By the One True Savior / Claimed // By the risen Jesus." As I listen, I need to constantly remind myself that Josh is a 15-year-old, because the sound of the song and its message are much more than what I expected. This song ...

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...
