Mallary Hope ‘Out of My Hands’ Review
Mallary HopeOut of My Hands (Curb) Mallary Hope self-identifies as a country artist, but she’s not old school Dolly Parton country, one of her admitted influences. This pastor’s daughter, who grew up singing in church and previously released mainstream country albums, gives us a straight-up pop-Christian release with Out Of My Hands. Hope’s sound is more akin to Shania Twain’s country-pop. Her songs feature, big, bright studio arrangements. Some, like “Lay It Down,” are gentle, but others–like “Walking With The Light”–veer more closely to Katy Perry-pop. The best song is “3:16 (No Greater Love),” where everything, from her car clock to the price of her morning coffee, is a reminder…

Defiant Joy: Greener Grass
He makes me lie down in green pastures. — Psalm 23:2 The tree was moving. There was no wind, but the leaves were fluttering with life. It was as if it had been quickened by an invisible command that no one could hear. No one, that is, but those who could fly. I approached the tree to get a closer look, and as I did the leaves erupted with the sound of hundreds of beating wings. As one, the tiny birds took to the air and swept the sky like a banner of silk waving in the breeze. I had come too near. Watching this aerial symphony take flight filled me with…

We just got the sense that God was putting us on people’s heart. Today, I saw this come to reality. I clicked into…
