Nacogdoches, Texas- Nashville, TN — July 26, 2024 — Renowned singer/songwriter Christie Cook is thrilled to announce the release of her latest single, “Traveling Light,” available now on all major streaming platforms. This soulful and inspiring track draws deep inspiration from Max Lucado’s book of the same title, echoing its profound themes through heartfelt lyrics and melodious storytelling.
“‘Traveling Light’ was born from a lingering impression that Max Lucado’s book left on my heart and mind,” says Christie Cook. “Some books justlinger with you long after you have finished them, and this one compelled me to write and sing a song that reflected its powerful message.”
The song weaves together two poignant Bible verses: Matthew 6:19 and Matthew 8:20. These verses serve as a foundation for the song’s theme of releasing earthly burdens and focusing on spiritual treasures:
“The Foxes have dens and the birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” (Matthew 8:20)
“Do not store up treasures on earth, where moths and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but store up treasures in heaven. Where your treasure is, there your heart is also.” (Matthew 6:19)
Christie shares a personal reflection on the message behind her new song: “Daily, I practice the art of not getting too weighed down with earthly burdens. Instead, I view them as challenges that can be overcome by keeping my awareness and heart on Jesus, knowing He walks beside me and will lighten the load if I just pause and ask Him for help.”
With “Traveling Light,” Christie aims to remind listeners that life’s rough patches are temporary and that a Great Love is always there to help them through their journey. The song’s gentle yet powerful, and timeless message encourages everyone to travel lighter, embracing God’s loving presence and support available to them.
