I want more of God’s presence. But how? What do I need to do? Where do I need to go? How do I need to pray? On what Scriptures must I meditate? What books do I read? What Christian band must I follow? What preacher do I follow? What conference […]

We Recommend: Staple, “Of Truth and Reconciliation”
It was just recently announced here on JfH that Staple is getting back together. This was exciting news to me. And due to that news, I thought it appropriate to recommend their final album before the break up, Of Truth and Reconciliation. Lots of straight up rock bands are boring nowadays. Just bland and formulaic. […]
“Going Through The Motions” by Matthew West
I don’t always feel it. Sometimes my faith seems stale. Numb. Sometimes I pray but I don’t feel connected. I sing, but my song sounds empty. I write, but my words sound cliché. I ask God questions, but I don’t hear answers. I could try and act like I am […]
We Recommend: Audio Adrenaline, “LIFT”
Late last week, while my iTunes library was on shuffle, a selection from Audio Adrenaline‘s catalog came on, and it caused me to stop the random play and just listen to one Audio A album after another. When I got to the pop/rock band’s more mature 2001 effort, LIFT, I was reminded […]
“A word for the impatiently waiting…” by Wavorly’s Matt Lott

We Recommend: Five Iron Frenzy, “All the Hype That Money Can Buy”
I hated this CD the first time I heard it. I became a Christian in late 2000, and for Christmas that year, a family in my church that knew of my recent conversion got me a Christian music sampler called Simply Impossible, containing bands like Philmore, The Normals, The Elms and Five […]
“God’s Will For YOU” by Michael Hughes Watson (Above The Golden State)
Blog 3 Hey, There’s been a lot on my mind lately, but there is one thing I really wanted to share with you today: I realized the most “life-changing” thing I’ve learned the last 5 years is “thankfulness.” Every good day, week, or sometimes an entire month, has been a […]
We Recommend: The Glorious Unseen, “Tonight The Stars Speak”
Let’s face it: if you’re familiar with JesusfreakHideout, you may know that most of us are not huge fans of the modern praise & worship scene. It’s not anything to do with the fact that it’s praise & worship, cause we all sing those very songs from our hearts at […]
