We The Kingdom ‘Don’t Let The Darkness’ Performance Video

Check out this performance video from the band We The Kingdom of their song ‘Don't Let The Darkness.’ The song centers on themes of surrender and resilience, inviting listeners to lay down their anxieties and trust that light breaks through the darkness. We hope it encourages you today!

‘When the world is cold as stone
Feels like you've got no place to go
Lift your head and call My name
I come running like a freight train’

What a talented band! We The Kingdom consists of multiple generations of relatives, and the band's name comes from the idea that "the kingdom of God is here among us." The band has shared about their song ‘Don't Let The Darkness’ and what it meant to record it together.

“‘Don’t Let the Darkness’ was a lot of fun to record! We focused on the simplicity of being a band, the four of us, making music with our instruments. It was written during a time when we as a band needed to be reminded that hope hasn’t gone anywhere,” We The Kingdom shared. “If you’re walking through a difficult season, this song is for you - hang in there, because the light always breaks through the darkness!”

What a great song with a wonderful message. One that reminds us that hope and God's light persist even when things feel heavy. ‘Don’t Let the Darkness’ is part of We The Kingdom’s album titled Dear Jesus. The songs on this album are deeply personal, rooted in faith, and build on the honest storytelling and musicianship that have defined We The Kingdom since their 2018 debut.

“After spending two years recording, it’s beautiful when you can tell the story of reality,” the band shares. “This record is a culmination of the beauty that came from freedom: no themes or motives, but truly authentic.”

We hope you enjoyed listening to ‘Don’t Let the Darkness’ by We The Kingdom today!

Ginny Owens Shares the Heart Behind New EP, 'Different Kind of Water'

From worship leading in New York City to writing songs that spark spiritual conversations, Ginny Owens joins us in Nashville to share the heart behind her new EP, Different Kind of Water, a collection centered on faith, hope, and deeper connection with God. Written over the course of five years, this deeply personal collection explores longing, forgiveness, faith, and the spiritual conversations we all wrestle with. Ginny shares how living in New York City, serving as Director of Worship Arts at Redeemer Presbyterian Church, and walking closely with people who aren’t yet believers shaped every lyric on this project. We dive into: • The meaning behind Different Kind of Water • Why these songs took years to finish • Writing outside the Nashville “Christian bubble” • Balancing church ministry and artistry • Her new companion journal with stories, lyrics, and reflection prompts • And her heart to equip worship leaders through The Asaph Project Plus, Ginny opens up about why worship is never a performance and how songs should carry people through the hardest days of their week.

Family’s Stunning Rendition of ‘Wonderful Merciful Savior’

Take a moment and witness this incredible family of singers. They are quickly becoming well-known worldwide for their beautiful music. Check out this family’s stunning rendition of ‘Wonderful Merciful Savior.’

At the start of this video, we see a logo that says, “The Family Altar.” Immediately, we see a precious family of four singing the chorus together. They have beautiful harmonies and joy on their faces. Suddenly, the first verse begins, and the daughter sings a solo. She has a pretty voice. Her brother begins to harmonize with her, and their voices blend wonderfully. Hearing this song from the mouths of children will inspire your faith.

The father leads the final song, and the kids sing backup for their dad. It is a precious moment where they sing about falling before the throne of God. 

They cry out these lyrics to God:

Almighty, infinite Father
Faithfully loving Your own
Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne

At the end of the video, we see the names: Jithin, Sangeetha, Naomi, and Noah. It is beautiful how this couple has given their children Biblical names. Their faith in Jesus appears to be the center of their lives and the foundation for their music. The Family Altar has an entire YouTube channel where they post songs from their country, India. There are even some videos with three generations singing. 

They have had over 1.4 million viewers. It will encourage your faith to see this family unified with their voices. Be blessed as you listen.

“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11

Upbeat, Toe-Tapping ‘Power in The Blood’ Performance

Check out this upbeat, toe-tapping performance of “Power in the Blood.” This rendition of the hymn, near and dear to the hearts of many, deserves to be listened to multiple times. Watch the short but delightful clip to listen to this excellent performance of the beloved hymn “Power in the Blood.”

Hymns are beloved pieces of music. They are praise and worship songs that tell of Christ’s unbelievable love, grace and forgiveness, which are available to all who call upon His name. These special tunes, much like the Bible, tell us that no one is too far from Him. Even the person who would be considered the worst sinner, the lowest of the low, is still not too far gone for Him.

However, sadly, these songs are among the most underutilized in all of music. Contemporary Christian songs have become increasingly popular over the years. Many churches have even begun moving away from them, opting instead for more modern Christian music. Sure, they may sprinkle a hymn in the praise and worship portion of their Sunday morning service, but for the most part, it’s contemporary Christian music.

But nothing will ever compare to hearing a beloved hymn like “Amazing Grace,” “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” “How Great Thou Art” or “Power in the Blood.” A clip posted on YouTube features a truly fantastic rendition of “Power in the Blood,” a song nearly everyone, without a doubt, knows and has heard many times before. 

“There is power, power, wonder-working power
In the blood of the Lamb
There is power, power, wonder-working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb”

This is an excellent, hopeful and joyous rendition of the classic hymn. There’s simply no way you can listen to these lyrics and this performance of “Power in the Blood” and not come away in a better mood and with a smile on your face.

Romans 6:23 “For the reward of sin is death; but what God freely gives is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Moving Rendition of ‘How Great Thou Art’ Will Lift Your Spirit

There are some songs that never get old. When a song has rich lyrics and a gorgeous melody, we cannot help but listen with excitement. Watch this moving rendition of ‘How Great Thou Art’ that will lift your spirit.

Joel Jackson is a budding artist. You may have seen some of the many videos from this talented young man. He is a gifted singer and piano player. 

This video shows Joel in front of beautiful stained-glass windows and a stained-glass cross. He is playing the piano in a worshipful setting. You feel as if you are in the room with Joel. 

You will not be able to help but sing along with him. He has humility and kindness as he leads worship, and you will love it. 

Joel has come on to the online music scene with such authenticity about how Jesus has changed his life. He shares openly about how God has rescued him from thoughts of suicide to freedom and new life in Christ. He even has his own reality TV show called “The Rockin’ For Jesus Reality Show.” 

He is working on releasing 20 songs from the 90s on a worship record. Joel even has a movie based on his story called “Rock for Jesus: The Ultimate Comeback.” 

The entire song will have your heart celebrating the goodness of Jesus. 
 
Joel shines especially in the final verse:

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration
And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art

The end of the song has unexpected musical moments that will wow you. Joel hits the high notes flawlessly with power. Joel shares through his music and testimony how Jesus has been great in his life. May this inspire all of us to share how great God is in our lives.

"Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom." Psalm 145:3

Worship Leader Wows with 'Goodness of God' Rendition on American Idol

A worship leader wowed with a rendition of “Goodness of God” on American Idol. The young man demonstrated his considerable musical gifts and talents with a beautiful performance of the praise and worship song that is near and dear to the hearts of many. Watch the short but jaw-dropping clip to see and hear the worship leader, 27-year-old Jordan McCullough, perform “Goodness of God.”

Many people believe they have what it takes to succeed and even win the top spot on America’s Got Talent, The Voice and American Idol. Having confidence in oneself and abilities is a good thing, but the fact remains that many more people will try out for those programs than win them. Hundreds, possibly even thousands, audition every year, but there is still only ever one winner.

Judges, while they may not enjoy doing it, have to decide who makes the cut and who goes home. They say who gets on the show and who does not meet the standard, using their decades of combined experience in the music and entertainment business to guide their decisions. That’s precisely what the judges – Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan – do on American Idol. They are tasked with making those tough choices.

However, moments after one young man began singing, it was clear he would be sent through to the next week on American Idol. Jordan, a worship leader, sang the beloved favorite “Goodness of God,” and it was terrific. His voice and entire performance were angelic, a heavenly voice, for sure. You could listen to this young man sing anything.

He had the judges completely and utterly captivated. All three had massive smiles. Additionally, Carrie Underwood was mouthing the iconic tune right along with Jordan. Lionel was clearly blown away by the worship, saying “wow” to himself several times during the audition.  

Jordan is definitely something to remember and keep an eye on as the competition progresses.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

I DON'T WANT IT NO MORE

This sound was born from a real moment of release. There comes a time when God doesn’t just ask us to fight harder — He changes our heart. This song is about that moment when the desire for old cycles, old pain, and old patterns simply falls away. Not by force, but by grace. “I Just Don’t Want It No More” is a testimony in music. It speaks to anyone who has felt trapped in routines that hurt them, anyone who has cried in secret, and anyone longing for real change. Through this sound, I’m sharing the moment I realized that something inside me had shifted — and it was the Lord who did it. If you’re listening and believing for freedom in your own life, let this be an encouragement: transformation is possible. God can change not only your circumstances, but your desires. What once held you does not have to define you. May this sound remind you that doors God closes stay closed for your protection, and the new life He opens is filled with peace, clarity, and hope. Thank you for listening and sharing this journey of healing and renewal. Come on Glory.

Book of Psalms Back to Songs: Psalm 20 – A Prayer for Victory

Psalm 20 carries the steady warmth of communal hope, a shared prayer spoken before battle with eyes lifted in trust rather than fear. Its feeling is confident and encouraging, resting in the assurance that victory comes not from strength or weapons, but from the faithful help of God.

Jordan Smith Powerful, Soul-Stirring ‘It Is Well with My Soul’ Live Performance

Check out this powerful and soul-stirring performance from Jordan Smith of the song ‘It Is Well with My Soul.’ His rendition of this hymn is so beautiful and will leave you feeling encouraged. What a talented singer with such a warm and soothing voice!

‘When peace like a river attendeth my way,
when sorrows like sea billows roll;
whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
"It is well, it is well with my soul."’

Jordan Smith, winner of season 9 of The Voice, has a new album, The People’s Hymnal, featuring a dynamic collection of familiar Gospel standards reimagined. His rendition of ‘It Is Well with My Soul’ is one of the songs on the album. This collection of live performances captures Jordan’s heart for worship with soulful vocals and stories behind the music.

As for the hymn ‘It Is Well with My Soul,’ it was written by Horatio Spafford and composed by Philip Bliss. And the beautiful words of the song were written after traumatic events that happened in Horatio’s life.

During the great Chicago Fire of 1871, Horatio Spafford lost his entire fortune, and his son even died shortly before the fire. More heartbreaking events soon followed.

Hymnologist Kenneth Osbeck tells the story: “Desiring a rest for his wife and four daughters, Spafford planned a European trip for his family in 1873. In November of that year, due to unexpected last-minute business developments, he had to remain in Chicago, but sent his wife and four daughters on ahead as scheduled on the S.S. Ville du Havre. He expected to follow in a few days. On November 22, the ship was struck by the Lochearn, an English vessel, and sank in twelve minutes. Several days later, the survivors were finally landed at Cardiff, Wales, and Mrs. Spafford cabled her husband, ‘Saved alone.’”

‘It Is Well with My Soul’ was said to have been written by Horatio on his journey to go join his wife, in the area of the ocean where the ship carrying his daughters had sunk.

What a beautiful song to be written out of such heartbreak. We hope that you enjoyed listening to Jordan Smith’s rendition of ‘It Is Well with My Soul’ today.

It is also a standard song at bluegrass jam sessions and is often performed at funerals, including jazz funerals in the New Orleans tradition.
