But sometimes all of the songs you have to choose from seem kind of lame. Christian music does not align with modern music tastes but instead forms its own separate category of cheesy lyrics and out-of-date background music. If you don't know what I'm talking about, turn on WBFJ or K-Love or whatever your local Christian radio station is.

Don't get me wrong, there are some artists and music that I love! Lauren Daigle!! Housefires!! They're literally fire! However, a majority of the Christian community may still not know that there are non-cheesy worship options that are actually nice to listen to. So here is a list of my favorite atypical worship songs:

1. On the Banks// Chris Renzema

'Cause your water's my redemption

Into your kingdom, your heart, God Most High

And your blood is the pow'r that breaks off my shackles

Ends all my battles, I find rest in You, Most High"

2. Turn// Future of Forestry

"Then morning rays through the haze

The golden blaze got a hold of you

It was a vision of light

That turned you around"

3. Sticks and Stones// Kings Kaleidescope

"Longing to give and taste forgiveness

Dying to live a pure religion

Settle the rush to chase submission

Open my eyes and soul to listen"

4. Losing My Religion// Lauren Daigle

"I'm losing my religion, and finding something new

'Cause I need something different, and different looks like You"

5. Let Your Blood Plead For Me// Sojourn

"Let your blood plead for me

Wash me clean

I believe, Lord, I believe

Your blood has covered me"

6. Melt My Soul To Love// Red Mountain Church

"The power, the sweetness of that voice,

My stony heart does move;

Makes me in Christ my Lord rejoice

And melts my soul to love"

7. Jumping from Jaded Heights// Kings Kaleidescope

"Show me every grace I lost the fight to see

I'm coming around

Remedy the piece of faith that broke in me"

8. Farther Along// Josh Garrels

"The good man dies, the bad man thrives

And Jesus cries because he loves 'em both

We're all castaways in need of rope"

9. Not in a Hurry// Will Reagan

"I'm learning to listen

Just to rest in Your nearness

I'm starting to notice

You are speaking"

10. Peace Like a River// Page CXVI

"come to the waters

watch it flow, with his love

where your heart won't wither

but grow"

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

What It’s Like To Be A Strong Woman, As Told By Blair Waldorf

Queen B sums it up for us.

Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
