New Music Friday: "Dusty Bibles" by Josiah Queen

Happy Friday! We’re back with another new song that hits close to home, and Josiah Queen’s “Dusty Bibles” is an honest reminder to slow down, check our priorities, and reconnect with what truly matters. It’s honest, reflective, and a little uncomfortable in the best way. Instead of pointing fingers, it holds up a mirror and asks us to look at our own lives and priorities.

The heart of this song is a simple but powerful question: what are we giving our time and attention to? It speaks to a generation that’s always connected, always busy, and yet often feeling empty or restless. The contrast between full lives and dusty Bibles is something many of us can relate to, even if we don’t always want to admit it.

This song connects closely with Matthew 6:21, where Jesus says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” When God’s Word gets pushed to the side, it’s easy for our hearts to drift too. Josiah reminds us that peace, clarity, and purpose aren’t found in more noise or more scrolling, but in returning to the truth that grounds us.

What makes “Dusty Bibles” so impactful is that it’s not about guilt. It’s an invitation. An invitation to slow down, to realign our hearts, and to choose a life shaped by God’s Word instead of the distractions around us.

If you’ve ever felt worn out, spiritually dry, or just longing for something more, this song is a gentle nudge back to the source. Because there really is no replacement for a life lived in the light of His way.
