This is a piece I came up with recently to revitalize my original (and unpublished) soundtrack for my story, Divinity Unbound. This one come from a scene where the Dragon Goddess, Sil'EphNiir, reassures the main mortal humanoid cast that there's always hope to be found in from the within the darkness of fear and failure.

Divinity Unbound - Bridging the Gap (2025)

A friend of mine asked me to compose a piece for the central nation in a story she's working on for funsies. The nation is militant, started from very little, and fought its way to the top. And this is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy!

Agare Theme

Another piece my friend asked me to write for her. A little bard-style waltz maybe for a tavern or ballroom event. Short and sweet and "bouncy" were her desired traits. How'd I do?

Fantasy Bard-Ballroom Waltz

This cue is as the title suggests. The ritual to awaken the Dragon Goddess Sil'Eph Niir is underway, and her eyes open on the final beat to end the sequence.

Aligning With The Power
We already have all the power of God within us—because the Holy Spirit is in us! Think about that for a moment: the very power that created the heavens, the earth, every living creature, and the entire human race resides in every believer. We never have to beg God for special anointings or plead for His power to come upon us. We have the power! All we need to do is align with the Holy Spirit, i.e., the Spirit of power and might!
According to Scripture, when we are born again, the Holy Spirit—with all His power—comes in us. Then, according to Jesus’ promise (Acts 1:5-8), when the Holy Spirit comes upon us, He manifests that power through us to touch the world.
The result of the Spirit working in us and through us is that we become witnesses. Most of us first think of witnessing as telling others about Jesus—and that is certainly part of it—but it’s not the whole picture. Biblically, a witness is someone with personal knowledge or experience. In a court of law, you cannot be a witness by repeating something you heard. Hearsay cannot be entered into evidence! Likewise, a persuasive witness about Jesus is based on what we have experienced, not what we have read or heard from others!
Every year, dozens—if not hundreds—of people ask me how they can be more effective at ministering to their families, friends, and loved ones. The greatest obstacle they face is this: they see witnessing as something they do rather than something they are. They assume they must learn how to minister when, in reality, a witness is not called to repeat what they’ve learned. That would be hearsay. A witness testifies to what they have personally experienced! This doesn’t take training; it takes life experience.
The Holy Spirit is both with you and in you, enabling you to experience the resurrected power of the Lord Jesus. And when I say “experience,” I mean walking in every promise God has ever made (2 Cor. 1:20), healing, deliverance, miracles—every expression of God’s power. This isn’t something we have to get; it is something we have already been given. It’s yours because that power is already in you through the Holy Spirit! That truth alone qualifies you as a witness. You can now testify that Jesus is Lord, Savior, Deliverer, Healer, and more!
You will influence your world simply by being who you are in Christ, living from what you have experienced with Him, and sharing your testimony of God’s power at work in your life. In personal ministry, I get more people healed, saved, and delivered by testifying, i.e., telling stories about what God is doing for me!
Join me this week and discover this incredible paradigm shift of power.  Let’s put an end to striving, straining, and attempting to persuade God to give you what you already have. The Holy Spirit was already sent to bring all of this into your life. Now, all you must do is align your heart with what He has already done—and you will begin to experience what has been freely given.
Join me this week in CyberChurch as we dive into The Secret of Aligning With The Power.

The Learned Lady & Mother of the Ummah ʿĀʾishah Part 3

This theme is for the Queen of Agare, the fictional nation created by a friend. Said friend asked me to write a theme for the main character, the Queen, and to have the music follow her emotional journey from damaged childhood, to meeting her future husband (and king) in her training, to finally rising to become the ruler she was meant to be. I hope you enjoy!

Oi oi! I'm Jeremy, a 25-year-old aspie PK (pastor's kid), multimedia creative, and seminary student. I don't post here often (sadly I have lost my muse), but I will try to amend that at first opportunity.

I'm planning on (and procrastinating on) starting some indie game projects in the near future, and I'm also working on some story-related content and artwork.

Long-time followers/friends may remember me better as peef or peefTube, but I've been working towards rebranding to spiro9 as of late. Speaking of, one of the best ways to get in contact with me is via Discord, which of course is spiro9 like it is here.

Don't expect any sort of professional quality work, despite the fact I really want to put that kind of thing out. However, I am open for employment right now! If you like my work and want to have my music for your project, please reach out!
