    Music Born from Darkness, Redeemed by Light

    Wow, thank you so much—that means more than I can say. 🙏 You're right—AI vocals often do sound robotic, but there's been a huge leap in what’s possible lately. What you heard in my song was the result of hours of testing different vocal models, adjusting phrasing and pitch to make sure it still...

    Music Born from Darkness, Redeemed by Light

    Howdy! Thanks for the welcome. The lead vocals on that recording were created using AI technology. I wanted to explore new ways to bring my music to life, and the AI helped me achieve the sound I was looking for. If you want to know more about the process or the project, I’m happy to share!

    Music Born from Darkness, Redeemed by Light

    Wow, thank you so much for this. It honestly means more than I can put into words. Awakening was born from a place of brokenness, healing, and a longing to feel God’s presence again. So to hear that it resonated with you—and that you’d even consider it part of a Christian opera or cinematic...

    Music Born from Darkness, Redeemed by Light

    Thank you so much—that really means a lot to me. This song, Awakening, came from a place of deep spiritual searching and emotional pain. To hear that it resonated with you and even evoked something like a Christian opera... that's incredibly humbling. Yes, there’s more to come. I’m actually...

    Dirge of the Godless: A Lament on Faith, Doubt, and Redemption

    Thank you for your honesty and for sharing your perspective. What you say about God being absent from many minds is a hard truth I cannot deny. Scripture warns us in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 that in the last days, people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, proud, and disobedient to...

    Dirge of the Godless: A Lament on Faith, Doubt, and Redemption

    Hello everyone, I want to share a poem I wrote called Dirge of the Godless. It’s a dark and raw reflection on faith, doubt, and the spiritual consequences of turning away from God. This isn’t a light or easy read, but I hope it challenges us to confront uncomfortable truths with honesty and...

    Listening to Metallica

    That’s honest of you to share. I still find myself drawn to some secular music I grew up on—bands like Metallica included. There’s something raw and emotionally real in their sound that a lot of Christian music just doesn’t match sometimes. But here’s the thing: I’ve learned to pay attention to...

    How Does God Expose Our Own Hypocrisies to Our Own Selves?

    God confronts me in ways that are usually quiet at first. A moment of conviction in prayer, a verse I can’t shake, or a conversation that hits a little too close. But when I ignore it, He turns up the volume—through failure, frustration, or emotional breakdowns. My biggest blind spot has always...

    Mega-Church Vs Small Church

    I used to attend megachurches. At first, the production value impressed me—big screens, polished worship, charismatic speakers. But over time, something felt hollow. The preaching often felt safe, even fake. Week after week, it was about how loving God is—which is true—but the sermons seemed to...

    Music Born from Darkness, Redeemed by Light

    Hello friends, I’m Shane—Christian composer, poet, and survivor of some very dark beginnings. I don’t write typical worship songs. My music was born out of brokenness, shaped by a deep hunger for healing, and refined by my journey back to Christ. I grew up in an abusive, addiction-ridden home...

    A New Beginning Through Grace and Music

    Hi everyone, My name is Shane, and I’m grateful to be here. I’m a husband, a father, a poet, and a musician, but more than that, I’m a man who has been redeemed by grace. My journey to Christ wasn’t clean or simple. I grew up in a home filled with brokenness, addiction, and trauma. My...
