Don’t Quit
Don’t give up. Don’t quit in love. Don’t decide God has left you. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself. (Eph. 1:23) Christ is filling all things, everywhere with himself. He is filling you! You are alive with Christ (see: Eph. 2:5). You are equipped through Christ. You are empowered with Christ – in you. “Or do you not realize about yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you?” (2 Cor. 13:5) If Christ is in you, how can you ever give up — on you?

Wild Harbors ‘Monument’
Wild HarborsMonument (Independent) The full-length debut from Wild Harbors follows a pair of EPs that have built momentum for this promising duo. Chris and Jenna Badeker explore vital topics of the heart on Monument, including honest reflections on marriage that will particularly minister to new couples. Andrew Osenga’s production stays in an indie pop lane but somehow manages to vary the sound from bright, almost whimsical melodies to tense, ticking percussion, to Ennio Morricone-esque twanging bass. There is similar emotional range, from the hopeful despair of “Abigail” and “The Ballad of Wallace and Jessie” to the confident gumption of “Tomorrow Morning” and the rousing title track. This is a strong…

March 12 – That New Amanda Cook Song
Guys, I don’t know what happened. I had 1KPhew on the line. He hung up. We couldn’t find him again. That stinks. Especially since I had to cancel my Thursday show last week due to a little health incident thing. No big deal, but man, I hate to cancel. It was just one of those days, you know? What always makes me feel better is Amanda Cook’s music. Her songs are part of my airplane playlist, but man, her latest song, “Awakening,” is just… perfect. Made me cry today. Some of my favorite lyrical moments from it: Stuck inside a house I builtLocked the doors and closed the shuttersWith no…
