The lyrics are all about recognizing that we're not just struggling to survive the situation, it's more! With God by our side, we overcome darkness and sin as champions! Ben Buhler sings, 'I'm not alone / Comforter, counselor, I'm yours to hold,' reminding you that whatever you're up against, you don't need to face it on your own. As one of His, He's got your back.

'Champions' reminds you, 'God, you're always there; help me fight this fight.' That's the divine support we He promises us, and it's as present as the air you breathe.

'If Healing is Real' by Abbie Werner: Where Music Meets Miracles

Abbie Werner's new song 'If Healing is Real' is a musical testimony of faith, struggle, and an amazing 14-year journey of healing with Jesus. Abbie's struggles started during her middle and high school years, and looking back, on her path to recovery, she walked hand in hand with Jesus. Her recovery began with a guitar lesson.  'Turn your eyes upon the Person who has won / The toughest battle's done / Grab your freedom,' Abbie sings, summarizing the essence of her journey. It's a call to remember that while we are still in the middle of our battles, no matter how big or small, Jesus has already claimed victory. Abbie shares how Kelsey Sharpe (her music teacher) gave her the tools and structure to express her big feelings, prayers, and questions to Jesus through music. Music with a message of hope, encouraging you to hold onto your faith, even when everything inside you wants to let go. Healing isn't just a possibility, Abbie's song reminds you t...

'Don't Be Afraid' by Remilekun: Your Soundtrack to Overcoming

Remilekun's 'Don't Be Afraid' is a song of hope for anyone who's ever felt beaten down or washed up by life. A song of encouragement, pointing to God for guidance, and reminding us that there is no reason to be afraid when faith takes the driver seat.  When you're at a crossroads, with fog making it almost impossible to see the road ahead and your heart heavy with doubt, then 'Don't Be Afraid' comes to the rescue! You could interpret the lyrics 'When your world comes crashing down, don't be afraid,' as a comforting message, but it's intended as a proactive call to get on your feet, stand tall, and face those storms with the firm belief that you're not walking alone. God's got you! He's holding your future, guiding you with gentle and firm assurance that no matter how wild the storms may rage, with faith, you'll make it to the other side.  This song gives direction, pointing you to the key that truly liberates you from...

The James Jennings Project Sings ‘Till You Look Good From The Inside Out’

The James Jennings Project did it again with this inspiring third release, 'Till You Look Good From The Inside Out', from the upcoming album 'Hitchhiking On A Narrow Road'. This song is reminder to look beyond the surface, because it is the inside that really matters. Don't let the outward appearances be your motivation for doing things, especially if your going through the motions for others to see. God looks beyond the superficial, because it's our inner self that truly defines who we are and what our true intentions are. In today's world, it's easy to get caught up in what we own or how we look. The brand names on our clothes, the type of car we drive, even the bible that we visibly carry with us on our way to church... These comparisons often start in school, and the society around us often continues these comparisons throughout life. How often do you see that people go out of their way to live in certain areas or go to prestigious universities in or...

An incredible piano rendition of 'Worthy of it all' by Emmanuel Songsore

Emmanuel Songsore has released a beautiful cover of the song 'Worthy of it all'. The original is a well known song by David Brymer, and I'm sure that you'll recognize it when you hear the first notes. Emmanuel Songsore has a remarkable talent as a pianist, and I can listen to his tracks for hours. The challenge that I face is to describe his instrumental covers in a manner that does justice to his talent.  Emmanuel's cover of 'Worthy of it all' deserves to be played next to the original. It's not a copy of the original without the vocals. Emmanuel adds a relateable emotion in his rendition of the song that complements the original. I've heard quite a few covers of this song, and every time that I see Emmanuel Songsore's name come up on a new release, I know that I'm in for a treat! I wait for the right moment to listen, when I know that I can listen without interruption, often closing my eyes so that I can fully focus on the way he presents t...

'He Can't' by Ryan Jones – Overcoming with Christ

Ryan Jones releases 'He Can't', a joyful and powerful reminder of the victory we have through Christ. It has a fun, upbeat, Christian pop vibe that really hooks you right in, with an important message. Ryan sings about how the enemy is fighting us, and constantly trying to disrupt our walk with God. But here's the kicker - the enemy can't win if we let Christ fight the fight for us. Ryan boldly declares that 'we are overcomers through Jesus Christ'.  In the first verse, Ryan sings, 'Thought he had me, thought he won. Yeah, the enemy he thought that I was good as gone.' I'm sure you've had times when you felt like giving up because you had too much to handle. I know I have! This song helps us remember that the 'enemy's' plans don't last long. 'He can try to steal my joy, and he can try to steal my peace. But he can't take away what my Lord has given me.'   This song is filled with the assurance that no matter what ...
