New Derek Webb Album

1 min read

This is the best news I’ve gotten all day! Derek Webb will be releasing his follow-up release to She Must And Shall Go Free on June 8. His first album is one of my top picks from 2003 and has quickly become one of my all-time favorite albums. So naturally I am quite excited to learn his sophmore album is coming out so soon. It sounds quite unusual actually. “this will be a ‘must-have’ record – a bare-bones music and teaching counterpart to Derek’s critically acclaimed debut record, “She Must And Shall Go Free.””

If you order now from Webb’s Web site you will receive the album two weeks before the release date and it will be signed by the artist.

Album Review – The House Show

A man and his guitar. On the surface, that is all you are going to get with Derek Webb’s album The House Show. There is no production, no percussion, no backing vocals. Dig deeper and you will find an outstanding album featuring one of Christian music’s most honest and outspoken voices. The album seamlessly weaves…

She Must And Shall Go Free

You have to admire Derek Webb for being a risk-taker. Not only did he take a risk by leaving one of the Christian music’s most popular and successful bands, but he then released an album that directly challenges the church with plenty of potent, hard-hitting lyrics. And this is an industry that really does not…

Why We Can Confidently Persevere in Prayer

I remember the days when my children were younger and would ask me to give them something—then ask me again, and ask me again. At that age, they had no ability to gain or purchase these things for themselves, so they were entirely dependent upon their parents to grant their requests (which were usually for…

Not a Hindrance But a Prerequisite

Many Christians feel they are too unholy or too sinful to participate in the Lord’s Supper. They come to the table downcast, convinced that their sin makes them unworthy. They may refuse to participate at all.

It Doesn’t Matter What You Remember

I have a memory like a … what do you call it? That thing in the kitchen you use to sift the stuff you want from the stuff you don’t. A sieve! That’s it. I have a memory like a sieve. I joke about it at times, and about how I have to outsource remembering…

To Those Who Married Poorly

Some marriages are the stuff of fairytales. Some are not. Some husbands marry wives who respect them and some wives marry husbands who love them as Christ loves his church. Some do not. The sad fact is that some people marry well and some people marry poorly.

Are We Post Woke?

It is too early to tell, I think, whether the “wokeness” craze has already peaked and even begun to slip into decline, or whether it’s just pausing to gather energy for another surge. What seems clear for the moment, though, is that it has lost at least some of its initial momentum, probably because it…

Truths That Take on the World

Christianity has a long history with catechisms—summaries of key doctrines that are arranged in a question-and-answer format. Traditionally, Presbyterians would be taught The Shorter Catechism, Dutch Reformed believers The Heidelberg Catechism, and Baptists one of the Baptist equivalents. Sadly, the use of catechisms began to decline as the years went by, so that it became…
