Christian Creatives: Christmas Edition!

I’ve been working on making these Christian Creatives posts that highlight Christian artists that I believe are using their creativity to highlight the creativity of God, and I realized I had almost forgotten to highlight all of the amazing and creative Christmas music that is out there.

So here we go!

Andy’s Song

November 2019

I know You’re still here beside me

But I don’t hear Your voice

I have fought against the silence

But I feel like I don’t have a choice

Down to the Wick

Lights festooned, a sunless sky

A winter wind begins to blow

Flocking to the heat inside

Embers swirling – red ribbons glow

The Whole Universe, A Noise

It’s the end of finals week and I, quite frankly, am dead.

I have subsisted this week off of a surprisingly low amount of sleep, and embarrassingly high amount of cramming for testing, and a worryingly increasing amount of caffeine.

It has quite possibly been one of my best weeks in college so far.

A Haiku for Finals

You know it’s finals

When you live off of stale chips

And Mountain Dew. Help!

Christian Creatives: Andy Gullahorn

If you’ve been reading this website recently, you’ll have likely noticed the series on Christian Creatives I’ve been putting out. Up this week is a personal favorite of mine. I’ve listened to his music literally my whole life, and have always enjoyed his succinct and poetic lyrics, as well his penchant for tuning his guitar in the wackiest of ways.

So without further ado, let’s talk about Andy Gullahorn.

Christian Creatives: Remedy Drive

In a world that (I believe) is lacking in Christian contemporary music that is also creative and vibrant, I have been working to highlight different artists that I believe are using their creativity to help further the Kingdom of God. I’ve already covered one artist, and now I want to focus on one that is probably a little less known: Remedy Drive.

You have a nice bottom, too.
