Christian pop punk artist Grace Graber is offering reassurance of God’s non-judgmental presence with her new song “As I Am,”

The song follows hard on the heels of the songwriter’s April release of her Conversations EP, a project that focused on hard conversations about mental health, hardship, and the faith that holds us. In many ways, “As I Am” is the natural progression of the story.

“The heart behind ‘As I Am’ is truly God looking at the conversation we just had and not judging it, and not looking at me different because of it. In fact, wanting to draw clower to me because of it,” Grace explains. “‘You see me and you love me as I am.’”

That message is consistent with the way Grace Graber has always chosen to share about life’s hard moments— moments she freely admits that she is still walking through.

Grace freely admits, “I’m learning a lot right now about being an artist and singing about mental health and faith. I’m not only singing about my mental health and faith, I’m actively working on my mental health and faith. And that is a very vulnerable place.”

Fortunately, Grace has found that God meets her in that place, whether she’s sharing through songs, social media or offline while serving at youth camp. And with “As I Am,” He’s given her some messages to share that she knows might be uncomfortable for some. For example: the line “sometimes church just ain’t enough.”

“When I say that, I mean sometimes just going to church and not actually living day-to-day with Christ, it’s not enough,” Grace says, expanding on the lyric. “You can’t tell a person without relationship with God to go to church and expect healing. It takes a daily step. I think waking up every day and knowing God sees me as I am and loves me as I am? I think that’s where the breakthrough starts.”

“As I Am” might be the song to catalyze that exact breakthrough for those who hear it.

Today, Branan Murphy releases the title song from his upcoming album, “Life Is Hard. God Is Good.” available today on all digital service providers via Paravel Records and DREAM Records. 

The song was produced by Grammy-nominated and Dove award-winning producer Jordan Sapp. It was co-written with David Spencer, Ashlyn Levoy, and Coby James.  The fresh pop sounds extenuate the reality of the song’s message that God is to be praised in good times and in bad.

“I’m so excited to release the title track of the album! Life is Hard. God is Good. (the song) is really like an anthem of hope for anyone who’s been through something hard. I hope it feels like something we can all embrace, sing, maybe even chant, just something that shapes the way we see our lives, something we can stamp onto our hearts, something that gives us the confidence we need in this world.

The song was written in the middle of a really hard day for me, after hearing really hard news, and I realized that so much of life is just these two realities – life is hard, God is good – colliding head-on, over and over. I want people to see when you trust Jesus, you can expect both, and that you don’t get one without the other. That’s just life on Earth.

But I believe there is strength to be found when we realize the truth in the song, and I hope the song rallies people together like an army to say with all honesty, “yea, life is hard, but God is good.” Because that means we really have nothing to fear.” – Branan

Murphy.

Leslie Jordan unveils “A Thousand Shores,” the second single from an upcoming project of revisited songs of hers previously released by artist friends. Written alongside Zach Bolen and Jack Mooring, “A Thousand Shores” was introduced on Citizens’ latest album.

Taking inspiration from the Passion translation of Psalm 139, which sparked conversations around the generous overwhelming love of God, they weaved in the chorus previously composed by Leslie.

The latter explores the intimate omnipresence of God – of his love – and offers a worshipful response to this reality. “As the world and our country become more and more polarized, God is still pulling us all toward him,” Leslie shares, “He is in all things; my breath, my thoughts, my heartbeat, my songs.”

“A Thousand Shores” lays down universal truths, “that God knows us from beginning to end and that his love is forever,” Leslie adds. After Citizens’ energetic version, this new single creates a more meditative space through its acoustic nature, highlighting its versatility and broad pertinence. Leslie concludes, “I am honored to release this version in hopes that even more folks are able to identify with its message.”
