A horse doesn’t enjoy its master’s direction until it’s broken. The same is true in our relationship to God.

What Is True Brokenness?

Most don’t walk into a Christian bookstore and look for self–help advice on being “broken.” But if they did, they’d realize that brokenness brings blessing.

Are You a Proud Person or a Broken Person?

The heart attitude of humility and obedience says before God, "Yes Lord, I will obey You."

Fallen on the Rock

He wants to release His Spirit through us. He can and He will when He finds humble, broken, contrite hearts that have been emptied of self that He might fill with Himself.

Radical Repentance

Brokenness is the shattering of my self-will so the spirit of the Lord Jesus can be released through me.

The Horse Is Broken

How do you approach God? In humility or in pride?

Broken or Crushed?

We Believe: “Disobedience, Idolatry, and Punishment, God's Favor Restored?”

Sometimes an outward religious appearance covers up a sinful heart.

Wash Your Heart

The Story Behind Beauty Through DarknessThis song grew out of my journey through some of life’s hardest moments — a time when pain and darkness felt overwhelming, yet there was a fragile light I couldn’t ignore. Beauty Through Darkness is about embracing every part of yourself, even the broken, shadowed pieces, and recognizing that true strength and beauty come from facing those challenges head-on.Writing this song was a way to honor the struggles that shape us, not just the victories - reach out to share your story schultzmelissa2025@gmail.com

Beauty Through Darkness

"She was fragile, shattered, wings torn apart by love that cut too deep. But in the silence after the storm, she learned to rise again. Broken Butterfly isn’t just about heartbreak — it’s about survival, healing, and the beauty of becoming whole in your own time."

Broken Butterfly

I never meant to write an album.
I meant to survive.

“The Songs I Never Said” is a collection of everything I kept buried—truths I swallowed, pain I made quiet, love I gave too freely, and the things I should’ve screamed but didn’t. Every track is a piece of the aftermath: the ghosts, the damage, the healing.

These aren’t just songs. They’re confessions.
They’re the words I wrote when no one was listening,
and the feelings I couldn’t say out loud until now.

If you’ve ever loved the wrong person too hard, lost yourself trying to be enough, or sat in the dark wondering what the hell just happened—this is for you.
Because sometimes, silence is just the start of the story.
