“O God Forgive Us” by for KING & COUNTRY (feat. KB)

This sober song reminds us that we often fall short. We can become desensitized to our sin. Powerful songs like this can renew our perspective.

“Nothing I Hold on to” by Will Reagan, United Pursuit

"Nothing I Hold on to" is a nice calm song that focuses on trusting God and giving our lives to him. After all, isn't He the one who gave us life to begin with?

Make sure you listen til the end or else you'll miss hearing one of the best verses!

“Reckless Love” by Cory Asbury

Chances are if you listen to Contemporary Christian often you've heard this song before. That's because it's a great song! And Cory Asbury has an incredible voice. Go listen to this if you haven't already!

“Let It Happen” United Pursuit (feat. Andrea Marie)

"Let It Happen" is about how we were meant to live with passion. Sometimes we get caught up in stress… We avoid or withdraw. But we aren't meant to live that way. This song is a great reminder.

“Build My Life” by Housefires III (feat. Pat Barrett)

This is a peaceful song that focuses on how God is the only firm foundation for a good life. Check out the other songs by Housefires if you get a chance! Awesome group.

“A Prayer” by Kings Kaleidoscope

This song is very unconventional. It does have a bad word in the refrain (honestly it's for effect, it is to show you the emotional intensity of the one singing that is facing anxiety and fear). If you wish to avoid the bad word, the link to this youtube video (in the picture) does go to the clean version.

All of that aside, this is an incredible song. It is very lively. It walks you through how one feels when they are experiencing anxiety, fear, and doubt. Then closer to the end of the song the voice of Jesus breaks through. It is movingl. This is a song everyone must listen to at least once.

“I Shall Not Want” by Audrey Assad

Audrey Assad has such a beautiful voice. This is a great song that reminds us that we should be living a life unattached to the things of this world.

“Song Of My Father” by Urban Rescue

This is perfect to listen to if you are feeling anxious. It is very pleasant and shares a message of hope.

“King of the World” by Natalie Grant

This song focuses on not underestimating God and His abilities. He created everything, and we have to remember that.

“I Surrender” by Hillsong Worship

"I Surrender" is about letting go of the tight grip we have on our lives and letting God take over. It is very powerful.

"Be Still" by The Fray

"If no one is standing beside you, be still and know I am." I've loved this song for years now! An oldie but an amazing-ie. Make sure you give it a listen!

I hope you enjoyed the songs I picked out. If you didn't, keep exploring! Finding good music that speaks to you is important.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

StableDiffusion

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

1063

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
