This past Sunday at our church, we were continuing our series “Finally Free” talking about the freedom that’s found in Christ. For the special song, our worship band played “Beautiful Things” by Gungor while the video below played. It was a very powerful moment for me personally. Things are kind of tough right now, but I know He’s in control. It was a solid reminder and lift to my spirit.Read More →
Last night I should have been in bed early since I had to be up at 5:30am. You know what that means though, I wasn’t in bed. Instead, I got caught up watching inspiring and amazing audition performances for the various talent shows on TV like “America’s Got Talent”, “The X-Factor” (various locations and nationalities), “The Voice” and “American Idol”. Lucky for me last night I stumbled across an audition performance from Lillie McCloud, a 54-year old grandmother of 7 (remember that when you watch her perform)! She performed a song made famous by CeCe Winans called “My Alabaster Box”. Watch her performance below. HerRead More →
I was working in the office of a biblical counseling client today and one of the ladies there was listening to this song on her computer. I’ve seen a number of other secular artists do this type of thing and production, so it’s nice to hear a Christian artist do something similar.

I’ve got to admit, I’ve become addicted to just about any sound that comes out of the mouth or from the hands of Kevin Olusola. Every now and then I’ll sink a few minutes trolling around YouTube or the web for just about anything I can find with him performing. A couple of weeks ago I found this video of him performing after church with a friend of his doing some freestyle rap. Then this evening, I stumble across a video of him performing the song “Beautiful Things” with the Gungor Band. I’ve loved this song ever since we performed it as a special duringRead More →
