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, […]
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

“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 […]
Mom Farro’s Pumpkin Pie
This recipe is my mother’s, and has been in our family for more than 50 years. It has five spices, and is perfect for those of us who like a well-seasoned pie. I make it often for my family, especially for my son, John, who loves to eat it all […]
