Glimpses of God
In recent years, we've noticed an increased interest in spiritual themes in today's popular music outside the Christian subculture. We refer to these faith-inspired examples as Glimpses of God. Some of them are by Christian artists working in the mainstream music industry. Others are nonbelievers who are clearly soul searching. Regardless, these challenging examples give the listener something to think about—and an open door to discussing matters of faith with non-Christians.
New Glimpses:
The Hold Steady
Stay Positive
On Stay Positive, alternative roots rock band The Hold Steady wrestles with matters of personal responsibility in a way that's both gritty and inspiring, touching on faith with sincerity rather than cynicism.
Sam Phillips
Don't Do Anything
The latest from the artist formerly known as Leslie Phillips is a superbly crafted and hopeful response to the "chaos" in her life that just might connect with listeners also enduring grief and hardship.
Ledisi
Lost & Found
After a decade of obscurity, the jazzy R&B singer has drawn accolades and attention for her vocal prowess and her Grammy-nominated debut, which features songs inspired by romantic longing and her Christian faith.
Coldplay
Viva la Vida
Some are dismissing the lyrics on Coldplay's fourth album as meaningless, but abstract spirituality and biblical references clearly play an important part throughout Viva La Vida.
