  • Psanghs Sampler #015 - Brand New Man
    Heres another in the “Country Christian” category, and in some cases we might not see the heavenly message in classic country songs: this is one example. For me, anyway. I heard a man singing of how he had been made “a brand new man” by love. Was it the love of a woman he was speaking about, or possibly the higher, richer, truer love of Jesus? Radical conversion would look like seeing the light, turning one’s life around, being born to love again and becoming a brand new man. Is it possible that these human to human love songs really foreshadow a higher love? Check it out.

  • Psanghs Sampler #014 - It's Alright by Third Day
    This Psangh speaks of our longing for the return of Jesus. How we must wait and trust that in Gods’ timing one day all will be restored. I can’t get through the day, much less a week without reminding myself that one day the kingdom will be restored, every tear will be washed away and pain of life in our broken world will cease. Hope and assurance. And since my head is a dangerous place if I am in there alone… that assurance is one way of getting Jesus in my head (and in my heart soul and spirit as well) I have heard, and I agree: The banquet in heaven is right around the corner!

  • Psanghs Sampler #013 - Forever Country by Artists of Then, Now and Forever

    Forever Country: Artists of Then, Now and Forever: This “country christian” song is a beautiful combination of three great country hits: Country Roads, Take Me Home by John Denver, On the Road Again by Willie Nelson and the foundational song I Will Always Love You by Dolly Parton. I see pointers to heaven, a map of the path to get there, and the source of it all wrapped up and beautifully arranged. Jesus has always loved us, even before we were conceived, and so those lyrics are beautifully present throughout this arrangement. I have been noticing The Gospel everywhere, so why not in a country song? Maybe you can see what I saw. Remember to check out the YouTube video link where you will see these 30 classic country artists artistically and beautifully arranged in sound and sight, with Dolly as the closer.

  • Psanghs Sampler #012 - Be a Light by Thomas Rhett

    This “Country Christian” song has inspired and awakened me to valuable principles to better love others in this world. To shine the light that God has put within me to bless others. It’s loaded with really good advice, arranged in a beautiful melody, and it’s a bit of a joy bomb to my heart mind soul and spirit. I hope you find it moving to your heart as well. I highly recommend the YouTube of Thomas performing this at the Country Music Awards in 2020 with Reba, Chris Tomlin and Keith Urban.

  • The Book of Third Kings

    The book of Third Kings does not exist in the scriptures, but perhaps we are living it out in the USA, even the world today. The rise and fall of Israel is perhaps a template for this nation; even the world. "Where are you man?" God seems to be asking... and hopefully would get us to ask the next question "Where are you God?" and lead us to do something about it.

    If you like what you hear here, consider attending the Wild at Heart Men's Retreat, this coming 4-7 April 2024 in Old Town FL. I am one of the speakers. Come find your heart! Information and Registration on the web at RTGMinistries.org

  • Several Great Reasons for Attending a Wild at Heart Bootcamp

    The Wild at Heart BASIC mens retreat (hosted by Return to Glory) is a 4 day 3 night journey to recover the masculine soul. I explain some of the “behind the scenes” details about why it’s so effective. Actually this description speaks more to an intellectual rational reasoning… and less to capturing and moving the heart. So ponder this evidence to consider taking this journey, and then listen to your heart, or God, or both as you decide whether to take this risk. Yes, we talk about that too… Risk. Join us this April 4th thru 7th in Old Town Florida. Registration, information, lots to explore on the website RTGMInistries.org.

  • Psanghs Sampler #011 - A Future Not My Own by Matt Maher

    In these lyrics, Matt first describes the pace of life in this world. “God Slow Me Down” as in a practice that is helping me in this fast paced world: Pause, listen, breathe in God, breathe out the world. “Jesus I give everyone and everything to you.” Come chase this heart of stone… searching my heart to contain more of Him. He is the owner of the mystery.. especially where my life is going… to cast my worries and fears and “figuring it all out” on Him. I need to know the future is not mine so much as yours… I need a future not my own.

  • Psanghs Sampler #010 - My Inheritance by Cory Asbury

    This song by Cory Asbury tells a story common to many; a father who drank too much and loved too little. We all have our stories. I love songs that tell a story. I have found that sharing our stories with others in a safe confidential environment leads to healing; and when we, in safe, loving community, invite Jesus in to that story telling… thats fertile soil to heal and grow and find restoration. This is a story of Cory’s restoration when God became his loving redemptive father. How beautiful.

About In Search of My Heart

From the publisher's feed

In the early days as I was trying to find my heart, as I look back now, it was a puzzle. When the real Gospel and the person of Jesus appeared in 2005, I was given a picture from which to assemble…
