📜🕯️ NEW SONG: “CANDLEMAS” — the day the Light walked into His own Temple.

So... here's a song I didn't know that I needed in my life...but I LOVE IT...

Presentation of the Lord (a.k.a. Candlemas) is the Church celebrating Jesus being brought to the Temple forty days after His birth—Mary and Joseph obeying the Law, the poor man’s offering (two doves), and Simeon finally getting to say: “My eyes have seen Your salvation.”

It’s a feast that hits like a theological mic-drop:
✅ Jesus is the “Light for the nations” — not as a metaphor, but as a Person.
✅ Israel’s promises aren’t scrapped — they’re fulfilled.
✅ And yes… historically, this was also the “okay, Christmas is REALLY over now” checkpoint.

So if your tree is still up and your lights are still on…
I’m not judging.
I’m just saying Candlemas is your gentle nudge to finally undecorate. 😂

🎶 “CANDLEMAS” — for Scripture nerds, liturgy lovers, converts, and anyone who wants to know *why this feast matters.*

📜✨ NEW SONG: “PRE-DENOMINATIONAL” — when “non-denominational” becomes Denomination #10,001.

If you’ve noticed people fleeing the mainline denominations, it’s usually for a reason: confusion, compromise, and a constant identity crisis. I get it.

But “non-denominational” isn’t always the cure… sometimes it’s just the next splinter with a cooler sign:
“Vibe Life Church — Free Coffee.”

This track is a tongue-in-cheek (but respectful) roll call of the *endless* denominational family tree—because Paul wasn’t subtle about this:
“I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos”… “Is Christ divided?”

So here’s the pitch:
We’re not *non*-denominational.
We’re **PRE**-denominational.
The Church that predates the labels… and still has the same Creed, the same Eucharist, the same apostolic roots.

Drop your story in the comments:
What tradition did you grow up in—Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, “Bible Church,” etc.—and what finally made you tired of the splintering?

MADE FOR COMMUNION

The Trinity isn’t a doctrine Christians invented centuries later.
It’s already there in Genesis.

“In the beginning—God.”
The Spirit hovering over the waters.
God speaking light into existence.

From the very first lines of Scripture, God reveals Himself not as solitary, but as communion.

And when humanity is made in His image, that image isn’t finished at the individual level:
“Male and female He created them.”
“The two become one flesh.”
Life proceeds as gift.

God didn’t create because He needed us.
He created because God is Love—and love gives.

🎶 Made for Communion
A song about the Trinity, creation, and why love has a shape.
