The Role of Certainty

by Matt Conner

“Certainty is the place you stop when you’re tired of thinking.”

I loved this quote when I first stumbled across it. I guess I have always had a problem with people who are so firm on what they perceive as the correct worldview that it’s as if they think God has revealed all mysteries to them [...]

Ten Out of Tenn

by Evie Coates

Griffin House. Matthew Perryman Jones. Trent Dabbs. Katie Herzig. Andy Davis. K.S. Rhoads. Erin McCarley. Tyler James. Butterfly Boucher. Jeremy Lister. (And the Honorary #11: Will Sayles on drums. He rocked hard.) I had the pleasure of experiencing the greatness of this fine line-up at the Cannery Ballroom on Saturday night. These ten artists from [...]

Turn Around, Bright Eyes

by Andrew Peterson

It’s a total eclipse of the sun.

I know this isn’t the normal fare for the Rabbit Room, but it’s too cool to pass up.  Today there was a total solar eclipse visible in certain parts of the planet.  This was taken in Siberia.

Song of the Day: Jason Gray

by Andrew Peterson

Here’s a song from Jason’s record All The Lovely Losers (available in the Rabbit Room store).  He co-wrote it with one of my favorites, PFR’s Joel Hanson, and those of you familiar with PFR will probably recognize Joel’s influence on this one.  That God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness is a big theme [...]

Surgery: Stage Three

by Evie Coates

Oh gosh, Evie-fans!! I am so terribly sorry to have kept you in the dark about the goings-on with my sweetheart of a truck. Let me get you up to speed, as it were. I and the fellows down at Auto Zone have gotten to be quite close, and Tom said last time I walked [...]

Song of the Day: Sara Groves

by Andrew Peterson

The first time I ever heard Sara play live, it was at the Ryman Auditorium at a Behold the Lamb of God concert.  This was the song, from her album Add to the Beauty.  Hoo boy. (For some reason I feel like I’ve already featured this song on here once. If so, it [...]

Sweet Surprises

by Evie Coates

I bought a bunch of lilies at Sam’s the other day. They’re one of the cheapest thrills I know — $8.85 for ten stems is a price tag that I cannot ignore. Each time I am passing by the flower counter I stop, stand in contemplation and scrutinizing, making sure they’re strong and resilient where [...]

A Video for “Family Man”

by Andrew Peterson

Thanks to Trevor Little and the team at his church for putting this together. It’s beautiful. I watched it last night, then I showed it to my wife this morning and got all weepy. Our kids are at the grandparents’ house this week, which didn’t help. Thanks, Trevor!

“Family Man” from [...]

Sparrows in the Rafters

by Eric Peters

Like on most Sundays, I attend a local church with my family. This particular day the sun is its normal late morning self, lazy but benignly ruling the sky. The church’s downtown parking lot, littered by the typical urban debris – strewn paper, crumpled plastic wrappers, discarded bottle tops, broken glass, [...]
