AWOE MAGAZINE FEATURE INTERVIEW
Stu Larsen
My Reality
I’m very happy to introduce this months Feature Interview with Stu Larsen. It’s probably known by now that I love it when songs speak to me on a personal level, well the funny thing is with Stu, I didn’t initially know he was a Christian. He just had this one song called Everything Will Be Just Fine that spoke to me when I really needed it...

A TRIBUTE TO MARTIN LUTHER KING
IN THE WORDS OF THE COMMISSARY
AWOE: How did Martin Luther King's life inspire faith to you personally?
COMMISSARY: Dr. King's faith challenged me to become more bold. He faced numerous obstacles when he took a step of faith and decided to fight for the rights of his oppressed people. There were no guarantees that he would ever achieve success or reach his goals, but he stuck in there and I highly respect him and admire him because of that.
AWOE: What do you hope people from all cultures remember about him?
COMMISSARY: His dedication. He literally died for what he believed in.
AWOE: How do you feel his love for people is symbolic to God's unconditional love for us?
COMMISSARY: When Christ said that we should love our neighbors as ourselves, He also said that on that one commandment alone lies all of the rest of them. So in Dr.King's love for people, he was just obeying God's commands. God has infinite love for us and is patient with us, just as Dr. King was patient with those who hated him and opposed the Civil Rights Movement.

GET UP OUT OF THAT MESS
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” Hebrews 4:15
One thing that really stands out about the above scripture is how it says in all points tempted like as we are. Jesus really knows how we feel, when we’re feeling it. He knows what it’s like to be rejected, talked about, mistreated, misunderstood...

THE CHIGGER HILL BOYS & TERRI TALKS ABOUT THEIR BLUEGRASS ROOTS
We’ve all grown up playing different types of music and that’s probably shaped the musicians that we are today. But I have always felt God called this group to be certain style of music, have it’s own “personality” for Him. It’s about playing a simple style that a variety of people can enjoy and all the while “lovin’ on” the people as God loves on us.

Spirit & Soul Spotlight Andreas Sandlund
Grew up in a Christian environment but somewhere along the way it became a personal experience though I can’t tell the exact day. I think I was 14 or 15 when I was on a summer camp. There during that week something happened inside of me. When I came home I started reading the Bible a lot and now it was alive. I felt it was a relationship now not only a religion. I then started to share my faith with my friends at school, my family at home etc. Wanted everyone around me to understand. Before it was something I didn’t really talk about that much. So it was definitely a change.

Everything Changes
Jim Murphy just reinforces the fact that change is good. Everything Changes, the title song is beautiful from the piano, to the violin to Murphy’s voice. He continues to evolve to even greater depths of worship with Taken Back. His spirited sound and the background vocals make’s this a high energy song. If you want to mellow out a little rewind to Faith, Hope and Love. It’s a sincere song about faith when we believe God has left us, ‘carrying the promises that heaven is not so far away,’ it’s really a reminder of what is embedded in our hearts. Another song that hits close to home is Lay It All Down. It’s a song that encourages us to give our burdens to Christ. Everything Changes is an inspiring and uplifting album that gives you a reason to sing. Due to release in 2008. Read More Reviews

Bread of Stone Interview
A true friendship with Jesus to me is the willingness to make sacrifices. To be a true friend means not just living for yourself, but for others, and in this case, for Jesus.

Spirit & Soul Spotlight:Kinship
As Christians, we often struggle with the distractions of the world. Our desire is to continually draw closer to Christ. Having an undivided heart means having a heart that doesn’t compromise when it comes to our walk with God. A heart that places God first and doesn’t allow the distractions of this world to remove our focus from him. In your life, if you don’t allow him to be Lord OF all then he is not your Lord at all. The song is drawn from Psalm 86:11, “Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart that I may fear your name...”
