Endless Years - Will Reagan & United Pursuit

A few days ago Will Reagan & United Pursuit held a CD Release at Grace Midtown for "Endless Years". I was able to volunteer for the event and score a free ticket. The night was an amazing time of worship and enjoying the powerful truth of lyrics placed into artists mouths by the Lord. After having a slow, stagnant few weeks it was great just to soak in the Glory of God, relax, not sing along or anything just allow his voice to permeate my soul.

The CD just came out yesterday so snag if off Amazon or itunes, its legit and will speak to the core of your being!

All is Great in the Presence of the King

Alleluia - Jesus Culture with Martin Smith

Once again worship last night was Glorious! Had a great day just chilling with my SDP folks from last summer, went up the river and just talked about the past season of life and where the Lord is leading us into. Exciting and scary stuff but it was great to be back with some awesome people who speak some potent truth. Last night during worship was one of many firsts... For the first time in a long time I actually stood while I sang, for the first time in a long time I was singing from a place of Joy, for the first time in a long time I did not care how I worshiped my Lord I just worshiped. Well its not like these things have not happened ever in my life, but I just felt so much peace during worship. So I decided to throw the song that we just repeated for a long while up here, mainly cause I did not know the name so I was looking it up and now I am pumped, gotta buy this album! All the angels cry out, Holy is the Lord God ...

Rise Again - Needtobreathe

I have been reading a book about the arts and Christians role in creating culture. Steve Turner, the author, asserts a major critique that modern Christian art does not speak about real life. The art created does not sound genuine or have any ties to real life that people outside the faith can connect with. While reading the book I listened through this album and I think that this song does a great job of breaking the mold. The members of Needtobreathe are all outspoken followers of Jesus but very little of the art that they produce mentions Jesus or Christianity at all. Instead they craft creative music, written from places of pain and joy. "Rise Again" steps through pain that occurs in life as we see relationships stretched and torn. The bitterness of broken hearts and friendships is then contrasted with the truth that we will get up from this pain and rise again. "I can see us moving on, I can feel that coming on strong", the j...

Stones Under Rushing Water - Needtobreathe

Last weekend was the Big-Little retreat, where all of the associates and their Big Brothers bond over a weekend together. I went this semester because I love camping and I am on the committee that planned the event. On Friday night us brothers when for a hike down in Cloudland Canyon. It was intensely dark but still an amazing sight of nature while its masked by night. We found a waterfall that turned out to be great for an early morning worship time on Saturday. We had some great conversation as we walked talking about life. I loved being away from Tech for just two days and being at a place where the stresses of school could not effect me in the slightest. Once people started to head back to the cabin Borsch and I just stayed behind for some time in thought and prayer. It was utterly amazing, just looking out into the canyon when I could not see a thing. Yesterday I was thinking about this and I am not sure if t...
