Darlene Brock is a jack of all trades – from COO of ForeFront Records, to mother of two daughters, to her latest endeavor, “The Grit & Grace Project“. To be honest, when I was asked if I wanted to write up a piece on a new Christian website for women, I was a little hesitant, and thought to myself “Here comes the fluff, rainbows, and pink all over the place. I really don’t have the strength to talk to a superficial woman who isn’t willing... Read more
Like most single people, my contentment in my singleness ebbs and flows. Many days, my focus is on glorifying God, and seeking my daily and eternal satisfaction, joy and delight in Christ. Every now and then, in the quiet moments of my day, when my mind and soul has time to rest and think, dissatisfaction starts to creep in. I would be lying if I said that I’m completely content at all times with all circumstances. Many of us can look at our lives... Read more
When C.S. Lewis was asked if the world needed more Christian writers, he said, “No, we need more writers who are Christian.” Adam Young of Owl City perfectly embodies what C.S. Lewis was talking about. From chart topping hits, to collaborations for his newest album with artists such as Aloe Blacc and Jake Owen, his music is soaked with Christian excellence. While his music in’t explicitly “Christian” in the traditional sense, Adam’s life is lived with exceptional integrity and he seeks to point to Christ in word... Read more
I’ve been grumpy this week. Typically, I’m a very joyful person and quickly hand over my difficult circumstances, troubles and cares to my Father, and allow Him to infuse my soul with His joy. This week was different; I decided to grumble instead. – I was supposed to go on an international trip to one of my favorite countries in less than two weeks; I found out that I can’t go due to work. – Work has been challenging recently, and I’ve...

I vividly remember the day I watched the 20 minute long documentary, “3801 Lancaster” on the now infamous Kermit Gosnell and his “house of horrors” women’s medical society clinic in Philadelphia. Over my lunch break, I had grabbed my salad, plugged my headphones into my computer and settled in to watch the video. Within moments, I lost any appetite I had and wept as I watched the horrors unfold before my eyes. If you haven’t watched the short film, which won... Read more
9/11/2001 is a day that no American will ever forget. They will never forget where they were and what mundane tasks they were doing as the chilling news overtook them that Americans had been murdered in a terrorist attack on our own soil. Everyone has their own story. 14 years later, I distinctively remember 9/11 as if it was yesterday. I was a 10 year old girl on vacation with my family in Disney World (I was homeschooled, so we always took our family... Read more
My heart and my ears have been captured over the past few weeks by Sidewalk Prophets most recent album, Something Different. It’s been a long time since an album has been on repeat. Yet, “Something Different” has been my album of choice. I recently chatted with Dave Frey of Sidewalk Prophets about the new album, the writing process, and some encouragement they have for Christians. Can you dive a little deeper into the idea behind the title of the album “Something Different” DF: Of course! It’s... Read more
Under the moniker Owl City, Adam Young has taken the opposite trajectory of many music artists in that his music has become more explicitly faith-centered. We first saw this in the song “Meteor Showers” on his breakout album Ocean Eyes, then in the song “Galaxies” on All Things Bright and Beautiful, then a little bit in several tracks on The Midsummer Station. Now with the release of his latest album, Mobile Orchestra this summer, he has become even more overt... Read more
When I interviewed Mike Weaver, from Big Daddy Weave I felt like I was catching up with an old friend; his warmth and passion for the Lord captivated the listener. Big Daddy Weave is set to release their seventh studio album, Beautiful Offerings on September 18th. Can you tell me a little bit about the new album? MW: It’s been four years since we released our last album, Love Come To Life. God did so much with our last album, including four consecutive No. 1 singles from the... Read more
I want to be a Godly, faithful, committed woman. I want to be controlled by the Spirit alone, not controlled by money, food, social media, the opinions of others, etc. I want to be a woman who loves the Lord with all my heart, mind and soul. I want to exude Christ’s love and joy. I want to use my time well, not being glued to my phone, searching for praise and affection from social media. I want to... Read more
