What are some of the songs that matter most to you? I'm a big contemporary Christian music fan. So, a lot of my favorites come from that genre, and I post a lot of them on this blog. 

I love to hear the stories behind the songs that I love the most. That is why I am so excited about Steven Curtis Chapman's "Songs and Stories Tour" with Andrew Peterson and Josh Wilson that is coming to Central Arkansas this coming Friday night. I hope to see you there!

Dr. T. W. Hunt, author of The Mind of Christ, first introduced me to some of the stories behind the traditional hymns that I've sung all my life several decades ago. And I still love hearing stories behind our modern-day spiritual songs. Some artists, like Kari Jobe and Steven Curtis Chapman, record the stories behind their songs on YouTube. 

I hope this short video reminds you of some of your favorite songs. Then, take a minute to brainstorm about some of the songs that matter most to you. Chose one song and record some of your memories and some details of that song. 

Do you remember any of the lyrics? Try to find a recording of the song and play it. When did you first hear it? Who or what even comes to mind, when you think of it? What memory or story comes to mind?

What are some of your favorite songs? Do you know the stories behind the songs that matter most to you?
