Music Review: Adie Camp"Don't Wait"
Songs you've probably heard @ EXALT or in the DOCKS:
Overwhelm Me / Sufficient
Adie's expressive voice makes Don't Wait such a unique and compelling offering. Thematically speaking, Don't Wait 's just as multi-faceted as it tackles everything from maintaining an eternal perspective on life (“Don't Wait”), to relying on God—even in our weakest moments (“Sufficient), to a new understanding and appreciation of God's grace (“What Have I Done?). In the process of making the album, Adie says she also felt a new resolve against spiritual complacency and a renewed desire to truly make every day count. “I've been a Christian for a long time, and it's easy to get into a comfortable routine,” Adie confesses. “In Revelation, it speaks about not losing your first love. And I think the Lord has really been challenging me not to just be faithful in taking time for devotions each day but to be a person who really desires to spend time with Jesus and not compromise.”
Pastor J.'s take:
To know me is to know that if I could be anyone else in life... it would be Jeremy Camp! J/K ~ kinda not really! Anyway, this is his wife. Many of you know that his first wife passed away of cancer when they were both very young and that experience inspired the writing of his first album and thrust him into full-time ministry. During this time Adie was the lead singer of the progressive Christian Rock group "The Benjamin Gate". FFwd about six years and she releases her first solo CD with many songs co-written with her husband.
This CD is a song of praise yet not a P&W disc. She is able to affirm and remind the listener of God's amazing love through the gift of Jesus Christ. Another bonus ~ your parents would have no problem hearing this one blast out of your room or headphones. NOW, don't get me wrong... it's not your parents style BUT... they could certainly enjoy it if you'd be willing to share! So, here's my thing ~ If you are a fan of Jeremy Camp you are OBLIGATED to buy this! If not, buy it anyway!
Style: Contemporary/Pop Rock

Music Review: Jared Anderson "Where to Begin"
Music Review: Jared Anderson "Where to Begin"
Songs you've probably heard @ EXALT or in the DOCKS:
RESCUE (I need You Jesus) / I'm Coming Your Way / Hear Us from Heaven
Desperation Band member Jared Anderson steps away from congregational worship and sits down behind the piano for a new set of songs that takes his artistry in a surprisingly different direction. Anderson engages his singer-songwriter side on "Where to Begin". The result sounds, he says, like Ben Folds leading worship, or the church-going offspring of Billy Joel and Joni Mitchell.
Pastor J.'s take:
This is a "socially conscious" worship album! Saying that, Jared Anderson takes a look around the inside of the church and deals with the need for living our worship as well as singing it! You've heard Pastor Aaron sing "Rescue" at REVOLUTION rallies and we use the same song in our prayer time... well, this is the album you can find it on and I've got to HIGHLY RECOMMEND it!
Style: Modern Worship
