Have you ever watched a TV show or heard a song that just left you feeling weighed down? After a dramatic conversion to Christ in 2010, my husband and I quickly learned that what we consumed (visually and audibly) MATTERED to the health of our souls and our connection to God. We decided right away that we wanted to set our minds on the things of God when it came to all entertainment and that meant some hard choices. (Read more about that here.) We let go of favorite artists and TV shows that we felt conflicted with our new Christ-centered values and decided to replace them with some wonderful Christian artists instead. We haven’t regretted it for a minute.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. –Philippians 4:8
I hope you enjoy this Christian playlist as a faith-filled alternative to some of the secular work-out music choices. Also– feel free to check out my first and second editions for more choices!
This third playlist edition is a little different from my first two. You’ll find that, while the others have an equal distribution of time for warm up, step it up, and cool down, this edition has a short warm-up, a longer “step it up” (faster beat), and a longer cool down.
This warm up is only one song— 3 minutes long, followed by 18 minutes of a faster beat, and then a 12 minute cool down.
You are welcome to scroll through these songs listed below and add your favorites to your own YouTube playlist, or scroll to the very bottom of this post and you’ll find this entire playlist as a link you can use/save and as an embedded video list that you can reference again and again right here. ENJOY!
