"Whole Hallelujah" by Chris Sarver: Embracing True Freedom


"Whole Hallelujah" by Chris Sarver is a heartfelt message of wholeness that challenges us to let go of our own fears and shame, and embrace the freedom that only God offers. A freedom that came at a significant price, a price that Christ paid on our behalf with His sacrifice, "You didn't hang on the cross that day for me to keep living in fear and shame." The song reminds us of the completeness of His redemption, leaving nothing undone. 

Chris Sarver - Whole HallelujahChris Sarver is the artist behind this song, and he is passionate about bringing people closer to God. He not only wants to foster an experience that will fully immerse people in His presence, but also inspire them to seek deep(er) encounters with God. "Whole Hallelujah" is a beautiful blend of CCM styles with rock ballad elements. 

The song emphasizes the priceless gift of our salvation: "Freedom was bought. That price is paid… All of our wrongs made right that day." Through Christ we are offered complete spiritual healing and fullness of life. Chris invites us to sing a "whole hallelujah"—a celebration of this fullness and the peace that we can only find in His love. 

If you've ever felt trapped by guilt or doubt, may this song remind you of the victory and freedom that He has already bought for you. Go ahead and give the song a listen-it might change how you see freedom and trigger you to praise Him with a "whole hallelujah."

'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...
