We Recommend: Kari Jobe, “Where I Find You”
For the few who do not know, I’m more picky about worship music than I’d like to be. It makes it difficult for me to find music to worship the Lord to. So even if I only find a few songs on a record I really like, it’s a big […]
“Happy Valentine’s D–HEY! Come Back Here!” by John DiBiase
So it’s been a couple months of adjusting to life with a growing, fully mobile little boy running around. Will is now 16 and a half months, and this two-legged freedom he’s now experiencing has brought new joys AND challenges our way. I’m definitely enjoying having a walking toddler around […]
We Recommend: David Crowder Band, “Church Music”
I had liked David Crowder*Band for some time before I actually owned any of their albums. I had heard DC*B’s music, and fallen in love with A Collision, but I don’t think I actually owned an album of theirs until Church Music came out. John hyped it up to me, and since we usually agree […]

We Recommend: The Ws, “Fourth From The Last”
With the popularity of the third-wave ska movement came a similar and more short-lived movement: Swing Revival. While many Christian bands jumped on the third-wave ska bandwagon, really only one band joined the swing crowd from the market. The W’s joined the likes of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and other secular artists for […]
“Look Who’s Walking Now” by John DiBiase
Just in time for Christmas, Amy and I got our wish when Will took his first couple daring steps on his own. For weeks leading up to this momentous event, he had enjoyed being lead around by the hands or shimmying himself along counter tops and other edges while standing. […]

We Recommend: All Sons and Daughters, “Brokenness Aside EP”
Anyone who knows me knows I’m pretty picky about worship music. This isn’t anything I’m proud of at all, of course, especially since it makes it very, very difficult to find worship music I can turn off critical ears toward and worship my Savior with. Part of it may be […]
