As someone who can get stuck in a loop of listening to the same handful of worship groups, it’s always refreshing to find a new one to listen to. I recently came across a worship group from Michigan called Engedi Music. They’ve been making music for the last three years, but three of their five albums actually came out in 2025. There’s something fresh and genuine in their sound that pulled me to listen, despite  it fitting into a common genre of music. One of the first songs of theirs that I heard was titled “Song of Confidence.” This song urges listeners to “fix [our] eyes on Jesus” and “sing out the truth [we] know.” It serves as a refreshing reminder that despite the challenges that might lie ahead, we can sing a song of confidence because of the security we have in the Lord.

Brandon Lake’s songs are often read as a testimony. His song, “Plans,” a folk-style approach to his contemporary worship sound, is no exception. The song reminds us that God’s got great things in store for us. One of my favorite lines is: “If it’s not good, then you’re not finished yet.”

Recently, I’ve been loving the indie pop sound of Strings and Heart — a refreshing sound in the Christian genre. Their song, “honeydew,” reminds us that we can see God’s goodness in everything. Because His goodness to us never changes, we always have a reason to give God praise.
