Every Single Time
Sound of the House & Austin & Lindsey Adamec
I love this song because it reminds me of how faithful God is. When I listen and sing along to this song, I feel like it’s my thankful response to his faithfulness.
Monday Morning Faith
SEU Worship & Chelsea Plank
This song is such an encouragement for me to continue to pursue my faith with the Lord outside of the church walls. My relationship with Jesus should not be “just a Sunday thing,” but a daily, growing relationship.

Holler
Maxine Goodwin ft. FATAI
I saw Fatai (the Tongan woman) lead worship a few years ago in Chicago, and I was so grateful to be led in worship by someone so talented who also looked like me. I used to think it was not important, but there is something that changed in my imagination of what a "worship leader" looks like. The song itself puts simple words to the act of praising God in a way that "feels" contagious, which is the same feeling I get when I am around other people who are truly living a life in pursuit of Jesus.

Goodness of God
CeCe Winans
I love this song, but I love it even more with CeCe singing it! It has been a mantra for the hard days in an attempt to remember God's faithfulness no matter what. A great worship song when things don't necessarily feel so good - reorients your brain and heart.
Honey in the Rock + How Sweet
Brooke Litgerwood, Brandon Lake
Technically two songs... but I love when a song leads to spontaneous worship. This song is an ANTHEM - all we need is God and it is sweet to trust in Him. Put it on loud in your car on your way home from work.
JOCELYN SACKS, SERVING DIRECTOR
I AM
Kurtis Hoppie
I love the truths from scripture in this song and that it is asking God for things He loves to give.
Yes Song
KB
This is a song that lifts me up in hard times. KB is raw and honest about God being all he needs in low and desperate times. One example is his wife suffered a miscarriage and I love his openness when he writes, “God almighty, please, you have my baby, and you won’t miscarry me.”
SHAWN HART, GLOBAL MISSIONS PASTOR
Imagination
Citizens
A song of wonder! Wonder about HEAVEN. I love this song because it has a childlike questioning that is full of joy and anticipation. The music is upbeat and moves your mind to imagine what it will be like one day. Best enjoyed with the windows rolled down on a road trip with plenty of time to daydream.
Underdressed
Gable Price & Friends
This song breaks me. It is the GOSPEL. It wrestles with the depth we are loved and the distance Christ overcame to invite me to his table. It is the appropriate cry and response to be known by God. Best enjoyed while looking out over the ocean.
JOSH "BURGI" BURGIN, CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Come to Me
David Baloche
From Matthew 11:28-30, this song played and produced by Paul Baloche’s son David (featuring the clarinet!). I love to listening to this song early in the morning and remembering the rest that is found in the Lord.
Bye, Bye, Babylon
Elevation Worship
From Psalm 137, I love the feel & instrumentation of this one. When I listen, I think about the fact that we, like Ols Testament Israel, are living in exile. One day we will say goodbye to Babylon once and for all.
BRENDAN COTHRAN, ODENTON CAMPUS WORSHIP LEADER
Sound Mind - Live version
Melissa Helser
The chorus begins with, “a sound mind for the spirit of fear.” this reinforces that God through his Spirit has rescued me from fear.
New Wine
Hillsong
God is doing a new thing, and He is going to do it through all of us. “Make me whatever you want me to be.”
