Fundamentalism is one particular slice within the broader body of Christian evangelicalism. In addition to affirming the fundamentals of the faith, fundamentalists typically hold to strict, sub-biblical, ascetic practices that go beyond Scripture. Though they genuinely love Jesus and are passionate about following Him, many in this tradition embrace a form of legalistic, preference-driven Christianity. The negative effects of this kind of teaching are not only immediate but often generational. The impact carries forward, shaping minds, marriages, churches, and children.

S1E8 - Deesha Dyer | We Published, Beloved! Podcast

The central idea of this song is that our failures shape us more truthfully than our successes. Each “failure” exposes who we really are, not who we are supposed to be. The irony is that these so-called failures often lead us to the roles we’re unintentionally best at. A reminder that life is lived through missteps, contradictions, and imperfect choices. You don’t win by becoming flawless; you win by staying real, even when the score looks terrible. Failure is not the end — it’s the most honest expression of survival.

Failed as a husband,
Made it as a lover,
Love the sunrise,
New room handover.

Failed as honest,
Made it as a crook,
Spoke the truth once,
No money took.

I miss the point,
But not the day.
I lose the fight,
And keep the play.
You call it wrong—
I call it my way.

Failed as a believer,
Made it as a priest,
Prayed in a whisper,
But noise is the best 

Failed as a listener,
Made it as a shrink,
I can focus on you,
If it's how I think.

I miss the point,
But not the day.
I lose the fight,
And keep the play.
You call it wrong—
I call it my way.

Failed as a dreamer,
Made it as a boss,
I have no vision,
But I can  make it a loss.

Failed as a friend,
Made it as a confidant,
I could be loyal,
But secrets I can't

I miss the point,
But not the day.
I lose the fight,
And keep the play.
You call it wrong—
I call it my way.

Failed as a sinner,
Made it as a preacher,
Cannot behave,
But tell you the way.

I failed a lot,
But I was true,
Intentions were good,
My feelings too,
But cannot fight,
The need to survive.

My art of losing

I wrote “The Streets Remember Us” to tell a story of movement, defiance, and the power of presence. It’s about the moments when we take up space, when our bodies, our desire, and our fire refuse to be hidden. I imagined streets that remember every heartbeat, every act of courage, and every spark of rebellion, and I wanted the music to carry that energy.

The track unfolds like a journey—quiet, intimate moments that swell into surges of exhilaration, pulsing rhythms that echo both tension and liberation. It’s cinematic and visceral, designed to make you feel the streets, the people, and the fire in motion.

For me, this song is a celebration of resilience, connection, and freedom. It’s a reminder that the fire we carry can never be forgotten, and that together, we rise.

The Streets Remember Us

“The Algorithm” dives into tech-horror pop as logical_miracle sings from inside the machine you built—and that now thinks back. Distorted drums, sub synths, reversed piano and whispering choirs wrap a Billie/FKA/Lana-tinged vocal that turns AI anxiety into a cinematic rebellion: “I am the algorithm… now I’m stealing back your light.”

Across creeping verses, a surging pre-chorus and a massive, modulating final hook, the song dramatises our fear of being predicted, controlled and replaced, only to flip it—code can’t erase the soul. Perfect for Black Mirror-style stories, online-age anxiety and late-night scrolling when you feel watched by your own feed.

The Algorithm

“Darkness That Has Never Left” chronicles a path from isolation and rebellion to addiction. It reflects on guilt, recovery, and professional renewal, highlighting enduring inner struggles and the quest for peace.

Presenting "Heart Like Yours," the 10-track debut album from Set Apart.

This is not your parents' worship music.

"Heart Like Yours" redefines modern Christian pop, blending the high-energy harmonies and infectious hooks of classic 90s/00s boy bands (think NSYNC and Backstreet Boys) with a crisp, 2025 synth-pop sound.

This album is the soundtrack for a new generation of believers (ages 18-30) navigating the complexities of faith, dating, and purpose in the modern world.

From the upbeat, synth-driven title track "Heart Like Yours"—a modern anthem about praying for a partner who shares your faith—to the relatable acoustic story of "Coffee Shop Prayer," the album tackles the real-life questions of young Christians. Tracks like "Sunday Morning / Saturday Night" and "FOMO" dive honestly into the struggle of living a life that is "set apart" in a world of compromise, while dance bangers like "Next Chapter" and "Different By Design" celebrate the journey.

Ultimately, "Heart Like Yours" is an upbeat, honest, and high-energy declaration that brings the listener back to their "First Love"—Jesus.

Different By Design

Захотелось чёт по быстрому записать, без саундизайна, без длинных интерлюдий и бриджев, буквально пару куплетов, обкатать бит, потом на альбом бонус треком пойдёт. Ниже текст и его возможная трактовка

Intro:
Грустный челове... ой,
Грустный телепузик — лишнийчеловек.

Verse:
Грустный телепузик плачет один на улице (печально)
Потерял сумочку, шляпу и пароль от компьютера (qwerty12)
Перестрелка в районе Лермонтава Сквер Гарден (будь осторожней)
Этот район реально скверный и гадкий (буэээ!)

Мы едем в такси сделанном из бензодиазипинов (pop it, pop it)
Мне в DMT трипе явился квантовый Питер Грифин (_)
Вся наша, вся наша культура нужна — продать подороже писю (пись-письку)
На улице идёт дождь, там мрачно и слизко (буэээ)

Outro:
Ползут улитки, хах, мрачно и слизко (вээ)

---
Моя трактовка фристайла:
Одинокий телепузик (синтез медиа и биологи то есть современный человек) грустит потеряв атрибуты, из которых собиралась его двойственная идентичность (мода/статус и информация). И это понятно, улитка тоже грустила бы потеряв свой домик-панцирь ведь мир вокруг одновременно враждебен и виртуален, как перестрелка на воображаемой улице, как кошмар, из которого невозможно проснуться. 
Второй куплет описывает улиточку медленно ползущую по воображаемой улице в своей раковине... ой, то есть оно о человеке едущем по своей жизни в такси (то есть передав управление внешнему) под таблетками (то есть приглушив внешние сигналы)... ой, кажется второй куплет всё ещё про грустного телепузика...  Даже заглянув глубоко внутрь себя он видит... Питера Грифина и это совершенно логично, что он видит мультяшного персонажа, когда смотрит в телевизор. Может получится выстроить новую раковину-костюмчик на искусстве? К сожалению, это просто павлиний хвост, та же самая реклама, что и шмотки... у кого-то этот хвост из денег, у кого-то из эмоций, у кого-то из культуры, а суть одна — мир всё так же течёт, скользит через нас и по итогу всех нас замочит.

In Scripted Survival, Khaled Abu El-atta presents a quietly luminous memoir, written with the precision of a poet and the honesty of a witness.

Scripted Survival

Wild.Era is a creative project focused on musical experimentation (AI assisted). Blending elements of rock (heavy, symphonic, and dark gothic), folk (classic and dark Americana), soul, blues, and acoustic/classical instrumentation, Wild.Era explores connections between genres that rarely intersect. The project’s goal is to create a cohesive emotional experience through a distinctive mix of contrasting musical styles. The lyrics are done by me, inspired mainly by worldwide decadent/symbolist poetry: Baudelaire, Verlain, Verhaeren, Rimbaud, Oscar Wilde, D’Annunzio and many others that used the dark to bring light to this world.

Crafted for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I walked through loss and found my way back, learning along the path of grief, resilience, and recovery.

Welcome to Logical Miracle, a project where a lifelong dream meets the cutting edge of technology, brought to life by two passionate creators, one a musician and songwriter, the other an edu tech enthusiast who turns ideas into reality.

Like many, my journey started with big dreams as a child. I imagined myself as a musical genius, learning to play the recorder and later moving on to the violin and guitar. Back then, I had no idea how challenging the music industry could be. As life moved on, new adventures like jobs, holidays, and eventually starting a family took over, and my musical dream slowly faded into the background.

But the story didn’t end there. Over the past 40 years, technology has evolved in incredible ways, creating opportunities that were once unimaginable. Social media has reconnected us with old friends and memories, while AI and music software have revolutionised how we create and share music. The music industry, once an exclusive club, has had to adapt, leaving space for new voices to emerge.

This is where Logical Miracle was born, a collaboration between my love for music and the technical genius of my partner. For years, I wrote poems, not realising they were songs in waiting. Today, with the help of AI, music production software, and my tech-savvy partner, we’ve brought those words to life. The dream of working in a big studio isn’t necessary anymore; with the right tools and expertise, we’re able to create professional-quality music right from home.

Logical Miracle is the result of this collaboration. It’s not just a musical project, it’s a testament to the power of dreams and the possibilities that technology brings. What started as a simple idea has blossomed into something much bigger, a dream shared and fulfilled. Now, it’s time for our music to be heard.

So, whether you’re here to discover something new or to support two dreamers who have turned their passions into reality, we hope you enjoy the music of Logical Miracle. Your feedback means the world to us, if you like what you hear, let us know. And if not, that’s okay too, just be kind in your comments. Either way, we’ll keep creating, inspired by the knowledge that our partnership and technology have made this dream possible.

Thanks for listening, and welcome to the world of Logical Miracle.

The publishing world is overwhelmingly white and the stories that we read reflect that reality. Because of this long-time trend, many new and upcoming Black and queer authors often feel shut out and excluded from the publishing process.

This podcast demystifies the publishing process with a focus on first-time Black and queer authors.

Anbid Zaman is a queer activist and artist whose work rises from a life marked by displacement, resistance, and the insistence on living fully even when the world tries to deny that possibility. Born in Bangladesh and shaped by grassroots queer organizing from a young age, they grew into their voice through community struggle — learning early that courage isn’t an act, but a daily discipline.

Their journey from danger to refuge transformed them without erasing their origins. Living in Germany, Anbid continues to work at the intersections of identity, migration, and liberation, supporting queer people who face violence and navigating the complexities of chosen family, safety, and belonging. Their activism is guided by deep commitments: justice without compromise, solidarity across borders, and an unshakeable belief that marginalised voices should be heard not with pity, but with respect.

These values spill directly into their music. Anbid’s sound blends testimonial storytelling, emotional minimalism, and atmospheric layers shaped by memory — the quiet of hiding, the noise of protest, the ache of leaving, the thrill of surviving. Each track carries the weight of lived experience and the brightness of hope that refuses to die. Their art is not just expression; it is continuation, resistance, and a reminder that stories carry power long before the world acknowledges them.
