Love Sacrificially
Love comes in many forms. In today’s culture we have a tendency to throw the ‘love’ word around for just about anything. Stephanie and I love Mexican food. We love ice cream. We love date night…and many other things that we do together. Love can have different meanings depending on what your situation is or the people that you are around. As many of you know there is another kind of love that completely transcends any of the superficial ‘loves’ that we claim on a daily basis. This kind of love is Agape Love. God is very clear and He calls us to this different kind of love. We are supposed…

Carvin Winans ‘In The Softest Way’ Review
Carvin WinansIn The Softest Way (The Dance Factory) The Winans are gospel royalty and any fruit from the family tree is worth your time and attention. However, Carvin Winans’ new album, In The Softest Way, is an especially en-joyable adult R&B release filled with silky smooth grooves a la Maxwell or Eric Benét. Instead of writing for others artists or sharing the stage with his brothers as he has in years past, Winans’ new solo turn is musically mesmerizing. “Misunderstood” is the best example of the bunch with an inventively playful piano refrain dancing around the pri-mary hook—a song ready-made for repeat listens. Guest spots from Kenny G (the title…

Best Thing I Heard Today: February 9, 2019
The newest EP from Jason Barrows is out and it’s loaded with great straightforward melodies, especially the opening track “Edge of My Heart.” Jason, who is the guitarist for Josh Garrels, has been making beautiful solo music for a while, largely in the vein of The War on Drugs, and this takes those hazy rock and roll sentiments and adds some Ryan Adams to the mix. “I don’t wanna live on the edge of my heart like God is a stranger,” he sings atop a killer mid-tempo groove perfect for the upcoming spring season. Jason Barrows’ song “Edge of My Heart” is The Best Thing I Heard Today! —Matt Conner
