Music

Music is a great way to slow our minds and hearts down and focus on gratitude.

No one is meant to go through life alone. God wants to give us friendships where we are each other's teammates, number one fans, and support systems.

We may feel regret, and think that this is just who we are. God understands how we feel, but wants to help us see that we are not defined by our mistakes.

Lorde’s song “Liability” and its follow up “Liability (Reprise)” help us understand what it looks like to start having deeper conversations with God about insecurity.

Hopelessness can be a difficult feeling to express. Through music, we can go from feeling overwhelmed by hopelessness to hopeful and dreaming with God.

Our times with God become routine when we don’t acknowledge in what areas we need to grow. J. Cole talks about his spiritual changes in his song 'Change'.

Through music, we can go from feeling overwhelmed by anxiety to calm and at peace with God.

This month's playlist will be called "I'm Feeling...Free," to help us better understand and express how it feels to be stuck and trapped, and, with God's help, become free.

When we feel alone and isolated, we can become afraid that if we really let people in, they won't accept us for who we are. But God wants fill the hole that loneliness creates.

Music speaks to the soul and helps us express parts of ourselves that are too deep for words. We can use music to help us feel closer to God, as well.

We all have talents and gifts that make us who we are. But too often, insecurity and self-doubt plague us with the fear that we aren’t good enough or will inevitably fail.

Music can help spur us on, where we can not only intellectually understand the need for change to the world around us, but be stirred in our hearts to become the people who bring that change.
