The WEEKLY ARENDS DIGEST goes out every Sunday.

It contains:

  • A Song

    Some sort of new music video … a song from home, an acoustic cover, concert footage, a lyric video, a guitar tutorial, or an official music video.

  • A Word

    A piece of writing … sometimes by me sometimes by someone else … often exploring faith, creativity, or spiritual formation.

  • A Happening

    I share up an upcoming event (in-person or virtual) that might be of interest … sometimes involving me, sometimes others.

  • A Links Buffet

    Here’s where I get to have the most fun - sharing links to things that have made me laugh, cry, or think throughout the previous week.

It’s Free! It’s Fun! It’s Meaningful!
And exclamation marks are used judiciously!!

“One of the most affecting communicators in any genre.”

— Billboard Magazine

“The world doesn’t have a Rich Mullins or Keith Green with us anymore, but we still have a Carolyn Arends, doggone it, and I for one am not going to take that for granted.”

— Jared M.

“Carolyn proves that you really can make music that reaches for high standards artistically, yet which is also comprehensible, original, and nurturing at the deepest level.”

— Kirk Johnson

“Hooray for new music from one of the best songwriters around.”
