Hidden Gems from the B-Side — Faith Side (Week 15)

Barlowgirl 🎶 Enough 🎶 Grey

“Enough” and “Grey,” both from Another Journal Entry (2005), show two different sides of BarlowGirl’s heart. “Enough” is actually a cover of the worship song made well-known by Chris Tomlin, and BarlowGirl’s version leans into rich harmonies and a more rock-leaning sound while keeping the focus on God being all we truly need. “Grey” is an original that wrestles with living in the in-between — not fully cold, not fully on fire — calling out compromise and the pull toward lukewarm faith. Together, they capture both worshipful surrender and honest self-examination in the same breath…

Hope you enjoy the music and hope you have a blessed Sunday…

Psalm 73:26 (KJV)

“My flesh and my heart faileth… but God is the strength of my heart… and my portion for ever…”

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

Isaiah 58:14 (KJV)

“Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD… I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth…  feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father… for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it…”

Hidden Gems from the B-Side — Faith Side (Week 13)

The Spark 🎶 Never Let Go 🎶 With Arms Outstretched 🎶 Jen Ledger 🎶 Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me…

Jen Ledger’s connection to The Spark goes back to her early worship roots in the same church community led by Chris Marvin. Long before she became the drummer and co-vocalist for Skillet, she was serving in worship alongside the people who would later form The Spark.

That shared foundation is why her features on songs like these don’t feel like guest spots — they feel like family coming back together to worship.

Jen Ledger is one of my favorite drummers and singers… i just love her 😁

🎵 Never Let Go — 2022

🎵 With Arms Outstretched — 2025

🎵 Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me — 2023

All 3 of these are great… I wouldn’t skip any 😁

I hope yall have a blessed Sunday… 🙌

👇 that’s Korey from Skillet on the keys.. also in the one above..

This is one my favorites 👇🔥

Galatians 2:20 (NIV)

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave himself for me.”

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 👇

Hidden Gems From The B-Side — Faith Side (Week 10)

Sidewalk Prophets 🎶 You Love Me Anyway 🎶 Keep Making Me…

Some bands don’t start on stages…
they start in small rooms… borrowed amps… quiet prayers… and long drives…

Sidewalk Prophets began in 2003 on a college campus in Indiana… just a few friends writing songs about faith doubt and grace while playing worship nights and whatever doors opened…
They toured in vans… played churches and coffee shops… and learned how to carry songs into real lives before anyone was listening…

That slow road mattered… because when their music finally reached the wider world… it already knew how to sit with people…

Two songs from that journey still hit me deep…
and honestly… I think these are two of the greatest Christian songs ever…
I know… that’s saying a lot…
hey… it’s just my opinion… 😁

🎶 You Love Me Anyway
(These Simple Truths 2009 — single 2011)

🎶 Keep Making Me
(Live Like That 2012)

I hope yall enjoy… thank you for your time… have a blessed Sunday…

Come check out my YouTube channel… if you like… subscribe… (click on thumbnail inside short for full song)

I’m giving my life to the only One
Who makes the moon reflect the sun
Every starry night
That was His design

I’m giving my life to the only Son
Who was and is and yet to come
Let the praises ring
‘Cause He is everything
‘Cause He is everything

From the painted sky
To my plank filled eye
He’s God of all
He is everything… whoa-oh

I’m giving it all to the only Son
Who gave me hope when I had none
So let the praises ring
Oh… let the Praise ring… cause He is everything… …t

Big Daddy Weave 🎶 Revive Us Again 🎶 What Life Would Be Like…

Hey y’all… happy Sunday… it’s good to be here with you… it’s good to be alive…

Today’s Hidden Gems come from Big Daddy Weave… both songs off the album What Life Would Be Like 2o08…

First is “Revive Us Again.”
An old hymn… a living prayer… and one that holds a special place in my story… I used to play this one on my guitar at a nursing home… surrounded by friends… surrounded by voices… surrounded by hope… those were good times..

Second is the title track “What Would Life Be Like…”All the songs on this album are special to me… they are from my ministry days… with my friends… with Beavis… with myself… I spent much time learning this album on my guitar… praising… worshipping… my King…

I also included a bonus video of Mike Weaver sharing a short story about his friend being healed of cancer… it’s beautiful and worth the watch…

So press play… take it in… life is short… and oh so beautiful… 😎’

…….🤔→🌱→🌍✨→✝💓→↔️👫’…….❤️❤️❤️→🔥🔥🔥→💓🔥💓→🌌→🕊→✨→🙏’

All our hearts… they burn within us…
All our lives… we’ve longed for more…
