Hidden Gems from the B-Side — Flyleaf (Week 18)

So I Thought ♬ Cassie

Hey yall… happy Sunday… today I have two more from Flyleaf for you.

Both of these songs carry a lot of emotional weight. Cassie was inspired by Cassie Bernall, one of the students killed during the Columbine High School massacre in 1999, and reflects on the courage of standing firm in faith even in the darkest moment. So I Thought looks at a different kind of struggle — that painful realization when someone you trusted turns out not to be who you believed they were. Together, they show two sides of Flyleaf’s writing: faith under fire… and truth after betrayal.

Year: 2005

Hidden Gems from the B-Side — Flyleaf (Week 17)

Circle 🎶 Again

..For this week’s Hidden Gems from the B-Side, I’m digging into the catalog of Flyleaf — a Christian rock band that brought raw emotion.. powerful spiritual themes into the rock world in the mid-2000s. Led by the incredible voice of Lacey Sturm, one of my favorite singers, their music never shied away from pain, redemption, and the search for truth.

The band came out of Texas — the same region that gave us rock legends like Pantera and ZZ Top — proving that powerful music can rise from the same soil in very different ways.

🎶 Circle
Album: Memento Mori
Year: 2009

🎶 Again
Album: Memento Mori
Year: 2009

Both songs come from their 2nd studio album…

As a bonus, I’m also adding a video of Lacey’s testimony, where she shares the powerful story of how Christ transformed her life.

Hope y’all enjoy… 🎸

Hidden Gems from the B-Side — Faith Side (Week 14)

BarlowGirl 🎶 I Need You To Love Me 🎶 No One Like You…

BarlowGirl got their start playing together in the late 1990s as their father’s backup band — their dad, Vince Barlow, was a children’s worship musician, and the sisters performed with him at events across the U.S., eventually writing their own material during that time.

They became known not just for their music, but for their public commitment to sexual purity, modesty, and waiting on God for a future spouse — a stance that shaped their message and deeply connected with a lot of fans walking similar faith paths.

They were active in the Christian music scene from around 1999 until they retired in 2012, closing out more than a decade of ministry through music.

Over the course of their career, the band sold over a million albums and passed a million digital downloads, making them one of the more impactful female-led groups in 2000s CCM.

I have two songs for you today..

🎵 I Need You to Love Me — Another Journal Entry (2005)

🎵 No One Like You — Another Journal Entry (2005) David Crowder Band cover

Hope you enjoy and have a blessed Sunday

Hidden Gems from the B-Side — Faith Side (Week 12)

BarlowGirl — 🎶 Never Alone 🎶 Beautiful Ending…

Before the charts and the stages, there were just three sisters, a living room, and a faith that needed a voice — growing up in Elgin, Illinois.

BarlowGirl — Rebecca, Alyssa, and Lauren — grew up making music the way most people learn conversation: naturally, together. They started in churches and youth events, not chasing careers, just serving with what they had.

What set them apart was unity — three voices, one heart — and the fact that they’re great musicians who truly rock. Drums, bass, guitars, keys, harmonies… real grit, real skill, real sound — not just message.

When they stepped onto bigger stages, they never lost that core.
No image games. No shortcuts. Just faith, honesty, and rock-solid music.

If you’re new to BarlowGirl, you’re not discovering a band —
you’re meeting a family who turned worship into rock and conviction into legacy.

I’ve got two live acoustic studio versions of these songs for you today…

🎵 Never Alone (2004) — BarlowGirl

🎵 Beautiful Ending (2009) — Love & War

I hope you have a blessed Sunday.

…….🗣️❓🏁✨❓✨✨❓🧍‍♂️➡️🫵❤️✨✨…🏁🤗🫵🤗’…

The blonde girl is Lauren… she plays drums… but not today lol

The song begins at 1:33 mark 👇

I Am Back 🙌

So I’ve been sick for two years…
it’s been horrible…
I’ve been gradually getting better over these last months…

A few weeks ago…
I made huge progress…
felt like I got healed…

And today…
I feel it in every way…

I’m gaining weight again…
I’ve been working out daily for almost two weeks now…
and in a short time… I’m putting on muscle…
I’m looking better than ever…
I’m feeling strong…
I feel like myself again…

And I can’t praise God enough…
Oh thank You… Holy Father…

I’ve had people all over the world praying for me…
pulling for me… and my girlfriend’s faithful prayers…
Oh how grateful I am…
thankful…
humbled by the entire experience…
Oh how happy I am…
that it’s over…

because there were moments I truly wasn’t sure I’d ever get back here…

Honestly.. my faith wavered over these past few years… I was so sick…
I lost nearly 60 pounds…
I was told it was cancer…
then told it wasn’t…
and to this day… I still don’t know what it was…

I just know it was hard…
a daily struggle to not give up…

But now…

Because of my God —
I am back…

Not just back…
but renewed…
Stronger…
Better…
Alive in a way I hadn’t felt in years…

And today…
I stand here in gratitude —
the fear is gone…

All glory to God —
the healer…
the restorer…
the One who carried me when I couldn’t carry myself…

Amen and Amen.

Forever and ever…

“Though He slay me.. yet will I trust in Him…” — Job 13:15 (NKJV)

“The Lord restored the health of Job…”
— Job 42:10
