Don’t laugh when you hear this story – I was listening in to a live webcast the Jonas Brothers did two weeks ago where fans had the chance to ask the band questions. One of the questions the guys chose to answer was “What is your favorite Christian band?” Their […]
“Keeping God Absent” by Jarrod Jones
I want more of God’s presence. But how? What do I need to do? Where do I need to go? How do I need to pray? On what Scriptures must I meditate? What books do I read? What Christian band must I follow? What preacher do I follow? What conference […]
We Recommend: Staple, “Of Truth and Reconciliation”
It was just recently announced here on JfH that Staple is getting back together. This was exciting news to me. And due to that news, I thought it appropriate to recommend their final album before the break up, Of Truth and Reconciliation. Lots of straight up rock bands are boring nowadays. Just bland and formulaic. […]
“Going Through The Motions” by Matthew West
I don’t always feel it. Sometimes my faith seems stale. Numb. Sometimes I pray but I don’t feel connected. I sing, but my song sounds empty. I write, but my words sound cliché. I ask God questions, but I don’t hear answers. I could try and act like I am […]
We Recommend: Audio Adrenaline, “LIFT”
Late last week, while my iTunes library was on shuffle, a selection from Audio Adrenaline‘s catalog came on, and it caused me to stop the random play and just listen to one Audio A album after another. When I got to the pop/rock band’s more mature 2001 effort, LIFT, I was reminded […]
“A word for the impatiently waiting…” by Wavorly’s Matt Lott
hello everyone. it’s been a while since i last blogged, and i’ve almost blogged about 4 times since the last one, but i always get this nervous feeling and then i don’t write one. but today, it just seemed like it was the day. you see, i’m going through a […]
We Recommend: Five Iron Frenzy, “All the Hype That Money Can Buy”
I hated this CD the first time I heard it. I became a Christian in late 2000, and for Christmas that year, a family in my church that knew of my recent conversion got me a Christian music sampler called Simply Impossible, containing bands like Philmore, The Normals, The Elms and Five […]
“God’s Will For YOU” by Michael Hughes Watson (Above The Golden State)
Blog 3 Hey, There’s been a lot on my mind lately, but there is one thing I really wanted to share with you today: I realized the most “life-changing” thing I’ve learned the last 5 years is “thankfulness.” Every good day, week, or sometimes an entire month, has been a […]
We Recommend: The Glorious Unseen, “Tonight The Stars Speak”
Let’s face it: if you’re familiar with JesusfreakHideout, you may know that most of us are not huge fans of the modern praise & worship scene. It’s not anything to do with the fact that it’s praise & worship, cause we all sing those very songs from our hearts at […]
We Recommend: Sarah Kelly, “Where The Past Meets Today”
This week’s recommendation is inspired by the fact I just saw this artist lead a worship service once again only a couple hours prior to writing this. It’s no secret that finding refreshing worship music is a difficult task and Sarah Kelly grabbed our attention with a firm (but loving) grip with […]
