We love getting to start our week off with some Monday Motivation for you! We took a look at some encouraging and uplifting songs during The Afternoon Drive! Here’s what we talked about:

Gabriella’s Monday Motivational song was “God is Good” by Francesca Battistelli: This song is about maintaining hope and faith through life’s difficulties by remembering that God’s goodness is a constant, regardless of what happens. Many of people’s struggles are self inflected and can be easily avoidable. Many people often choose a familiar hell rather than taking a chance on an unfamiliar heaven. 

Joe’s Monday Motivation was I Speak Jesus by Kings Porch: A declaration of power, it is a belief that by speaking His name, strongholds can be broken and darkness can be overcome. It’s a spiritual weapon that everyone has a choice to hold. Overcoming struggles, the song frames this as an act of faith that brings freedom. A universal truth, the song’s message is meant to be applied everywhere. It’s a reminder that even in difficult times, peace is available through faith
