“Remind Me” by Adam LaVerdiere
Sometimes, we just need a reminder. Growing up in a Christian home and attending a Christian school, I heard the many truths from Scripture at an early age. I recited memory verses and quoted various passages of Scripture, committing as much as I could to memory. As I’ve gotten older, […]
“Taking Off My Grave Clothes: From Meth Addict to Worship Leader” by Stephen McWhirter

“Quiet The Noise: The Story Behind the Song” by Trevor Kleinmeyer
Two years ago my mind was spinning. I was in an intense season with my job, my relationships and almost every aspect of my life! I felt like I was on a fast track collision with burnout. I remember coming home late one night after leading worship. I collapsed into […]
“Relient K’s Top 20 Songs Ranked” by Josh Balogh
There’s many reasons why Relient K will always be a band favorite, but suffice it to say, they write fantastic, and relatable songs. I’ve already ranked their albums in a previous post, and now I thought I would give it a go to whittle down their deep catalogue to what […]
“Ranking Relient K Albums” by Josh Balogh
Band Relient K will always hold a special place in my heart as I stumbled upon them at the beginning of my college years. I have many memories connected to several of their songs as they helped me through school, and then transition to “adulting.” Lead singer, and main lyricist […]
