Throwback Thursday

I had the opportunity to go see the Newsboys United tour when they came into GR in November. WOW!!!!! Goes down as one of the best concerts I've ever been to. They sang a lot of their new songs, but also sang a bunch of their older songs.....the ones I grew up on. I knew every song they sang.......except one. I had never heard the song "Lost the Plot" from their 1996 album "Take Me to Your Leader". That song has stuck with me for the last 3 months. The message of the song and the video they had going on in the background took my breath away, and I haven't been able to get it off my mind since. That message is as relevant today as it was then. I hope the message of this song speaks as much to you as it has me. The song is old, the video is new......so it still counts as a throwback, right? 😀

Indivisible

"
Indivisible is the extraordinary true story of Army Chaplain Darren Turner and his wife Heather, whose lives are fully devoted to serving God, family, and country. But when war etches deep battle scars - both overseas and on the home front - the Turners' rock-solid marriage is shaken to its core.
Carrying burdens the other can't comprehend, they must decide if they're willing to face one more battle: the fight to save their marriage. From the director of The Grace Card and the studio that brought you Fireproof and War Room comes INDIVISIBLE, the story of one marriage - one family - under God."   Come on into Baker and grab a copy today.

Throwback Thursday

Kathy Troccoli has one of those very unique voices that blends very well with her style of music. This has been one of those songs that has always touched my heart and I thought it is a very appropriate song for our throwback Thursday song of the week.

Music at the bookstore

If you weren't able to make it out to Baker tonight for live music, you missed out on a beautiful night of praising Jesus Christ. Thanks to Elle Roskamp and her friends for sharing their gifts and  helping lead worship here at Baker. I tried to load a video for those that weren't able to come, but I guess the file was to big.  But here's a couple of pictures. 😊

New Releases

Today's the day that you can get "Native Tongue" from Switchfoot.  

"For their new album Native Tongue, alternative rock band SWITCHFOOT step beyond their trademark epic soundscapes and explore new textures and themes that genuinely reflect this fraught cultural moment. From the hard-hitting anthemic title-track to more reflective songs such as "Prodigal Soul," "Joy Invincible," and “Voices,” (co-written and produced with their friends in One Republic), the band interlace empathy and introspection, urging us to "use our lungs for love and not the shadows.” The record also features a moving collaboration with Kaela Sinclair of French, electronic group M83 on "The Hardest Art." In the midst of an impressive career spanning more than 20 years, Native Tongue is an inspired work of insight and passion from a band that continues to find strength in our differences and hope in what binds us."

I have always loved this song. A clear message of the gospel in music. A great reminder that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
