My Heart Melts
“My heart melts at the love of Jesus,

A Sweet and Bitter Providence.
The latest EP from the band, The Joy Eternal. This album is moving and shows that through hard times, natural disasters and loss of loved ones, God has a plan and everything that happens does so for a reason according to His good purpose. Amazing album and very necessary. These are Christian musicians who are writing music that applies to real circumstances and real life. I am so proud of these...

The Benefits of Failure
Failure. It’s a word with a lot of emotional connection. We see or hear this word and instantly our minds goes back to the moments in our lives where we missed the mark, or even fired the arrow in the totally wrong direction.
