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… 🎸

“When to the sessions of sweet silent thought…
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought…”

“My fear pretend… that I’ll never be in love again… It’s real to me.. but not like these fools… and not like this scene”

i don’t break loud—
quiet knees down—
soundproof tears—
’til i meet ground.

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

Hidden Gems From The B-Side — Faith Side (Week 11)

Sidewalk Prophets 🎶 The Words I Would Say 🎶 Live Like That…

One of the coolest things about Sidewalk Prophets is how much of their story was shaped by other people. Early on, a demo they recorded was submitted to a contest without their knowledge — and they won. That surprise moment opened doors they never planned for. Years later, they kept that same spirit of community by inviting fans to help shape the Live Like That album itself, using fan-submitted photos for the cover and even letting fans sing background vocals. From the start, their music has never been just theirs — it’s always been shared…

Here’s two more great ones from them…

🎵 “The Words I Would Say” — from These Simple Truths (2009)

🎵 “Live Like That” — from Live Like That (2012)

I pray yall have a super blessed Sunday… enjoy the music and the message…

James 1:22 (NIV)
Do not merely listen to the Word… and so deceive yourselves… Do what it says…

1 John 3:18 (NIV)
Dear children… let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth…

Was I love… when no one else would show up…?

Hidden Gems From The B-Side.. Faith Side (Week 8)

Big Daddy Weave 🎶 Overwhelmed 🎶 My Story…

Hey yall… happy Sunday… I have two more for you from Big Daddy Weave…


My Story… released 2o15… from the album Beautiful Offerings….


Overwhelmed… released 2o12… from the album Love Come to Life…


I found this out about them and thought it was so cool…


Pre-show ritual
Before every concert.. the band has a quiet devotional time together.. then they literally walk through the venue and touch every seat.. praying for the specific person who will sit there that night
After shows.. instead of disappearing backstage.. they routinely stay for an hour or more to pray individually with people.. making them some of the last to leave the building


Press play and enjoy… 😎 `.°~

I see the work of Your hands…
Galaxies spin… in a Heavenly dance… oh God… All that You are… is so overwhelming…

If I told you my story… you would hear Love… that never gave up…
