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 Motivation was Cochren & Co. with Running Home. The song conveys that instead of facing anger and punishment, a person who returns to God will find an open, welcoming embrace and unconditional love. It speaks to overcoming a past filled with mistakes and finding redemption, peace, and freedom by “running home” to faith. 

Joe’s Monday Motivation was Matt Redman’s Ten Thousand Reasons. When you feel like there’s no reason to be blessed, this song shows there’s many reasons to be blessed. Even Matt said “ten thousand reasons to be blessed is an understatement.”
