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, […]
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 […]
“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 […]
“You are God’s Property” by J.M. Farro
During my quiet time with the Lord the other day, He showed me a verse in the Amplified Bible that was a sobering reminder for me. Ecclesiastes 12:1 (AMP) says: “Remember [earnestly] also your Creator [that you are not your own, but His property now].” For years, I’ve been declaring […]
“The Maiden Voyage of the Moses Basket” by Amy DiBiase
Yesterday we embarked on the maiden voyage of the Moses basket!!! For those of you wondering, this did not involve me putting Will in the stereotypical baby basket and sending him down the Lehigh River … it did however, involve that I got the beautiful basket out of the corner […]

“Ask God for Something Tangible” by J.M. Farro
When we are in a difficult place, and we are seeking the Lord, sometimes it helps to ask Him to answer our prayer in the form of something tangible. Remember the story of good King Hezekiah and the illness that threatened his life? God had Isaiah the prophet tell His […]
“Power for the Weary” by J.M. Farro
The other day, my husband, Joe, spent the entire afternoon outdoors cleaning our duck pond, mowing the lawn, and tidying up our shed. When he came back indoors, he exclaimed, “I’m exhausted and can hardly move!” I had been cleaning house all day myself, so I had a pretty good […]
“Pros and cons and pros and cons and proooooos” by Scott Fryberger
There’s my Jimmy Fallon reference for the day. There’s this new thing called “digital music.” It’s odd…nowadays, you can just get online, pay some money with your credit card (or PayPal….but that’s another blog in itself), and instantly have music on your computer. Yes, full songs! Full albums, even! Anyways, […]
