Hidden Gems from the B-Side —Matthew West (Week 23)

History 🎵 Get Away

…

Matthew West’s one of those artists where it just feels real. A lot of his songs are pulled from real-life stories—people writing in, sharing what they’ve been through—and he turns that into something honest. He’s been through it himself too… even lost his voice for a season and had to fight his way back. He’s also written for artists like Casting Crowns, Rascal Flatts, and Mandisa—which says a lot about how strong his writing really is. You can hear it in his own music—nothing forced, nothing fake… just faith, struggle, and redemption showing up in the songs.

First up—
🎵 History
History (2o05)

Next—
🎵 Get Away
History (2o05)

Also I’ve included a cool bonus video where Matthew surprises a fan from Twitter with a phone call… a song… and a prayer.

Hope yall enjoy… 🙌🙏t`’

Matthew 11:28

Hidden Gems from the B-Side — Matthew West (Week 21)

Only Grace 🎶 Next Thing You Know

Happy Resurrection Day! ✝️

So today I’m starting a new one on Matthew West… I’m a huge fan—especially his earlier stuff. So many songs just put together right… lyrically and musically. His first 3–4 albums are that good.

I saw him live back around 2o08 or ’o9—not exactly sure. It was a wild setup… out in the middle of nowhere… big open field on what felt like someone’s farm in Brooksville, Florida. But man—it was a sweet performance. He’s great live. There were other artists too… might’ve been a 3-day thing—I only went one day… memory’s a little foggy there 😁

Also Matthew is supposedly a super nice dude from what I hear… really loves people and his fans…

Anyway—these two songs are from his second album History (2o05)… super good. Check it out sometime…

🎵 Only Grace — History (2o05)
🎵 Next Thing You Know — History (2o05)

🎥 Also—check this out… i included a great bonus video of Matthew surprising people at Waffle House with a little live performance… awesome moment.

Live Waffle House surprise performance 👇 supercool! 💯

Matthew 28:6
“He is not here… for He is risen… as He said…” ✝️

Menuchah מְנוּחָה — Lish Victory… the sound of rest 🎶

Isaiah 40… the war is over

…

My friend Lish… from one of my Christian social media platforms… wrote this song…
I think it’s beautiful…

give it a listen…
check out her YouTube channel…
SUBSCRIBE if you like and help support her…
she’s just getting started…

these are her words below 👇

…

Lish Victory

If you like discovering new Christian music, I wrote this song called Menuchah.
Menuchah is the Hebrew word for rest… tranquility… a resting place.

In Isaiah 40, God declares that the war is over.
He also shows the fragility of us… even the strongest struggle in this fallen world.

But because of Him… we can rest.
We can be strengthened.

I hope you like it…
the writing process was a breeze…
as if the Holy Spirit took the pen.

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.”

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
