Producer extraordinaire Aaron Sprinkle finally released his band Fair‘s sophomore album, entitled Disappearing World on Tooth & Nail Records in February. Melodlic, thoughtful, […]

Top Indie Albums of 2010
If you’re an avid reader of Jesusfreakhideout.com and all it has to offer, then you know we have two different classifications for the artists we cover: major label artists and independent artists. For a little over a year, I’ve been the main “writing guy” for the indie section (aka, the […]
“Don’t Fail to Ask” by J.M. Farro
When my son, Joseph, and his wife, Miriam, visited us from California recently, he sent a text message to my cell phone saying that they were running late, and that they were probably going to miss their flight. That would mean that they would miss their connection in Chicago, too, […]
“The Gift Of Peace” by Charles F. Stanley
Christmas sometimes passes like a red, green, and gold blur of lights, wrapping paper, and familiar carols. Bombarded by relatives, gifts, events, and special programs, there are times this blessed season hits as hard and fast as a Texas tornado. It commences whether we are prepared or not. And instead […]
We Recommend: Ayiesha Woods, “Christmas Like This”
Christmastime is here! If you’re like me, you’ve been spinning those Christmas tunes that you grew up with and even some more modern offerings that you’ve added into the rotation in recent years. Well, one worth considering is an album that flew pretty low under the radar last year. Not […]

“My Lesson” by Erin Causa
What I pictured in buying the Playmobil Nativity scene was a nice way to perpetuate the true meaning of Christmas. “Why dearest mommy, I see the baby Jesus and I am filled with the glory of his birth,” Ethan would say after opening the box. We would sit down together […]
“12 Days Of Christmas Tour Days 5-9” by The Great Transparency
Good morning! My apologies for the layoff. The combination of long drives mixed with snowy conditions, and a lack of wifi has prevented me from getting a good blog or two in, but we have it today! The past few days have been much like the first few: amazing! It’s […]
“If I could change one thing about you, I wouldn’t.” by Josh Taylor
If there is one point my dad tried to hammer into me when I was younger, it’s that you can’t change anybody. People can change their own behaviors, and God can change their hearts, but you are responsible for you. It’s the great struggle. The inevitable inner-turmoil we all stare down at […]
“12 Days Of Christmas Tour Day 4” by The Great Transparency
O-H! I-O! Yes, it’s good to be back in the winter wonder land known as Ohio for a few days! I come to you tonight from Macedonia, Ohio, just south of Cleveland. What a day. First of all, the Browns were once again victorious again. Secondly, the show tonight was […]
