Lecrae: Spinning Many Creative Plates in 2019
by Matt Conner This spring, Lecrae is breaking his silence. The chart-topping artist has felt the creative spark again after giving himself a reprieve from industry demands. Time with family and friends has given way to new perspectives and ideas, and the end result is lots of Lecrae to come in different mediums later this year. For now, however, the artist is enjoying his role as architect. Lecrae has helped to pull together the Unashamed Forever Tour, a spring run of tour dates that features heavyweights like Andy Mineo, GAWVI, KB, Tedashii, and Trip Lee next to exciting young talents like 1K Phew and WHATUPRG. We recently caught up with…

A Promise for the Days You Wonder if Anyone Sees
Blog Post by Abby McDonald The screaming started as soon as the plane began descending into Charlotte-Douglas International Airport. To say I was mortified is an understatement. I tried to console my two-year-old son with toys and promises that we’d be there soon, but it was no use. I silently wished I could hide somewhere until we reached the terminal. As I journey through motherhood, God repeatedly shows me it’s a continual process of refinement. And often, he uses situations I never desired to remind me his work is still in progress. This experience on the plane was one of them. Travel with young children means trying to prepare yourself…

Hope’s first-ever full-length project, the seventeen-track album sees the Georgia native in her rawest form, with themes of identity and self-worth woven throughout each inspired song. “Our worth and identity are not rooted in what we do,” said Hope. “Our worth and identity are rooted in God and who He created us to be.” The debut also includes Hope’s hit track, “Me,” which released earlier this fall.

We Are Safe
Paul’s words in Romans 8:28-39 are the most compelling on the subject of preservation anywhere in Scripture. I say this for two reasons. First, their purpose is to teach preservation. Second, this is the most extensive biblical passage teaching that God keeps his saints. Familiar words lead off: And we know that in all things… The post We Are Safe appeared first on FaithGateway.

Soft Heart, Thick Skin
Soft Heart, Thick Skin There I was standing on the playground, underneath the monkey bars, 10 years old, two long braids hanging down my back. This image is burned into my brain as one of the very first times my feelings were truly hurt. I was standing there with two other girls waiting to find out which one of us would be chosen to be the girlfriend of the new boy in school. Needless to say, I wasn’t chosen that day. I walked away feeling hurt and embarrassed. Twenty-eight years later I could look back at that little girl and tell her it doesn’t matter in the long run, I…
