Madness. A peculiar madness has infected all mankind, warping the heart and setting it aflame with an insane addiction to worthless, lethal lovers and a disastrous disdain for precious, life-giving realities. And yet, astoundingly, we have no doubts. We are so certain of our ability to determine something’s worth, trading what […]

“Raising a Monument” by Jenna Badeker of Wild Harbors
Almost two years ago now, I felt stuck. My husband Chris and I had worked hard to carve out freedom for our life. We were out of debt, we lived in an apartment that had become a month-to-month lease, and we didn’t have children yet. We had jobs that supported […]
“More Than Survival,” by Sanctus Real’s Dustin Lolli
What does it mean to live life to the fullest? To seize the day? Most of us are really just trying to get through each one of our days feeling like we’ve accomplished something that has some meaning, some purpose. A few years back the band had a writing getaway and […]
“Here” by Michael Hughes Watson
I wrote the song Here because of my cell phone. Strange, I know. Here’s how it happened: I have a pretty casual morning routine. Making coffee, tidying up. These are rituals which prepare me to think, read scripture, pray and write. I sit down in my beloved chair, Bible and coffee within […]
“Up From The Ashes – A JFH Exclusive Devotional” by Urban Rescue
The heart is sacred. It’s the centerpiece of who we are as human beings and core of everything we do. Scripture tells us that out of the “overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.” Jesus reminds us that it’s not what goes into a person that makes her unclean, but […]
“There Is A Cloud” Devotional by Elevation Worship
“And now, God, do it again— bring rains to our drought-stricken lives so those who planted their crops in despair will shout hurrahs at the harvest, so those who went off with heavy hearts will come home laughing, with armloads of ble ssing.” (Psalm 127:4-6 MSG) One of the most […]
“Find You Here” by Ellie Holcomb
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again; Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all, the Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God, and the peace of God which surpasses all […]
“It’s So Scary When You’re On Your Own” by Satellites & Sirens
“It’s so scary when you’re on your own…” …is a particularly appropriate lyric from our new song “Tell It”, featured on our upcoming new album “Frequency” (shameless, shameless new record plug…)… Admittedly the lyric was a looot less appropriate to our current situation when our former band mate, and […]
“The Grass Is Always Greener” Song Story by Christa Black
I was surrounded by models. Not model toys or planes. That would have been a bit easier than my situation. I had moved to New York City and somehow found myself thrown into a group of people that not only looked like Greek gods and goddesses, they were also paid big bucks […]
“Black Monday” Song Story by Christa Black
Excerpt taken from Chapter 3 of Christa Black’s book, God Loves Ugly: I got to my hotel in Washington D.C., dropped off my bags as quickly as I could, and headed out in full patriotic fashion to explore my nation’s capital. I only had several hours to wander before my gig […]
