This week, we’ve released the JFH staff’s Top 15 Albums of All Time. One of the titles that shows up on several of the lists is hardcore / rock band Project 86‘s 2000 sophomore album, Drawing Black Lines. For me, this is the album that got me into the band and would remain […]

“1996, here I come!” by Scott Fryberger
Ever since I had to sell my Wii (I needed money…..sigh), I’ve been missing playing video games. I’m not a huge gamer, but I do enjoy them. I’ve always loved many of the games that have been released through Nintendo. So a week or two ago, I went to my […]
We Recommend: Switchfoot, “The Legend Of Chin”
So it probably seems strange that so far all five of these “We Recommend” blogs go back at least several years, with four of them taking us back to the 90’s. The reasoning for this is that most current music is what gets the most focus as new tunes are […]
“Why I don’t listen to my radio” by Adam Dawson
It’s a sad fact, but it’s true: 75% of the time, my local Christian radio station never plays anything I consider “good”. In a way, it’s a bit of a breath of fresh air when they spin Switchfoot or Sanctus Real, but most of the time it’s the same old […]
We Recommend: Newsboys, “Take Me To Your Leader”
For our fourth “We Recommend” Blog, we’re going back to February, 2006, with Newsboys’ , Take Me To Your Leader. I’ll never forget picking up this record on release day, sitting on my bed and listening to it for the first time. A solid record from beginning to end, Take Me To Your […]
We Recommend: Rock N Roll Worship Circus, “The Listening EP”
For our third “We Recommend” Blog, we have Rock N Roll Worship Circus’ (now The Listening) with their 2004 EP, The Listening. This EP was the beginning of the transitions from the Rock N Roll Worship Circus to their current state as “The Listening.” It was an amazing metamorphosis. A dark but hopeful and […]
We Recommend: Skillet, “Skillet”
Many probably don’t realize Skillet has been around since 1996 (the same year JFH came into existence, actually!), and I have fond memories of listening to this record a lot when it released. They were just a three-piece then and several years would still go by before frontman John Cooper’s keyboard playing […]
“Smellin’ French Fries” by Matt Johnson
Have you ever been driving down the road, your thoughts being neither here nor there, and then it hits you. Instantly you’re reminded that you’re hungry and what you’re hungry for. That’s right… It’s McDonald’s french fries. As you see the golden arches just up ahead you know that those french fries […]
NEW: ‘We Recommend’ …The Blog!
Welcome to the first ever “We Recommend” Blog! For a few years now, we’ve selected a record that we feel is well worth a recommendation from one (or more) of the JFH staff to YOU and placed it in a little box on the front page of Jesusfreakhideout.com. Well, we’ve […]
“‘Spend Time With Me'” by John DiBiase
It’s kind of a mind-blowing concept to realize the God who created the earth and every thing and everyone on it wants to spend time with us… even me?! As a married man (with no children yet) who spends a lot of his time alone at a desk, one little […]
