I was cutting the grass a couple of summers ago and got the scare of my life. at the time the yard of my house looked like a swamp area. my shrubs looked like they had afros. my oldest son was two years old at the time (he’s four now). […]

We Recommend: Rock N Roll Worship Circus, “The Listening EP”
For our third “We Recommend” Blog, we have Rock N Roll Worship Circus’ (now The Listening) with their 2004 EP, The Listening. This EP was the beginning of the transitions from the Rock N Roll Worship Circus to their current state as “The Listening.” It was an amazing metamorphosis. A dark but hopeful and […]
We Recommend: Skillet, “Skillet”
Many probably don’t realize Skillet has been around since 1996 (the same year JFH came into existence, actually!), and I have fond memories of listening to this record a lot when it released. They were just a three-piece then and several years would still go by before frontman John Cooper’s keyboard playing […]
“Hot Tub Christianity and Spiritual Conversations” by Jarrod Jones
When was the last time you had a spiritual conversation with someone outside the faith? It had been a while for me too. I was mostly consumed by perfecting my Christian “duties” and trying not to sin. If that sounds shallow, it is. And it’s not the fullness of living […]
“Smellin’ French Fries” by Matt Johnson

“A Finger In The Chest” by Jarrod Jones
Just hit me with it. If you have something to say don’t dance around the subject. Just come out with it. Look me in the eye, don’t mince words, and let me have it. Confront me. I don’t need to be “talked to” about it. I live in an age […]
“‘Spend Time With Me'” by John DiBiase
It’s kind of a mind-blowing concept to realize the God who created the earth and every thing and everyone on it wants to spend time with us… even me?! As a married man (with no children yet) who spends a lot of his time alone at a desk, one little […]
“Economy Of Grace” by Remedy Drive’s David Zach
There is the feeling of uncertainty and a lack of security that might not have been there before. I start to wonder about my mortgage – about whether or not I’ll be able to continue to put food on the table for my family. I know a lot of industry […]
