7 Christian Indie Songs You Won’t Skip in July
There’s something about July — the slow, golden hours, the silence between plans, the quiet ache for something real. In the midst of summer noise, we find ourselves reaching for songs that feel like breath, like prayer, like pages from a journal left open in the presence of God. At Seven Tapes, we’ve handpicked 7 indie Christian songs that carry that kind of weight — music that doesn’t try too hard, but speaks deeply. Whether you’re walking through stillness, celebration, or searching, these tracks are companions worth keeping close this month.
all tracks mentioned are included on our Spotify playlist ‘Vibing With Jesus’ alongside many other amazing Christian indie songs!
1 - ‘Spend my Days’ - Maddie Moon
Rooted in Psalm 27:4, “Spend My Days” is a gentle, heartfelt reflection on choosing God above everything else. Maddie Moon sings from a place of quiet surrender, shaped by her personal journey of leaving behind New Age practices to follow Jesus. The track feels tender and raw, like a private prayer set to soft guitar — a reminder that sometimes the deepest worship sounds more like stillness than volume.
2 - ‘In Rhythm’ - Mirours
“In Rhythm,” from California indie duo Mirours, has a laid‑back, alt‑pop pulse that feels like two souls finding their step both in music and faith. Jake and Hilary Owen—the married pair behind the sound—bring dual vocal layers and minimalist beats that evoke intimacy and co‑creation. It’s worship disguised as a conversation: two hearts syncing not in perfect harmony, but in honest, everyday rhythm. The result is a warm, hopeful track that says: even when your steps falter, when you lean into each other and into God, you’ll find your groove again.
3 - ‘Honey’ - OM53, THE ONE HE LOVED
OM53 (Cris Araya) and THE ONE HE LOVED blend nostalgic synth-pop with deeply devotional lyrics in “Honey,” casting the Bible’s sweetness across a dreamy sonic canvas. The refrain, “For my soul, Your word is sweet…”, echoes Psalm 119’s longing for God’s promise, while the driving layers of synth and soft beats frame worship as something both intimate and fresh. On Facebook, OM53 notes the track is rooted in Proverbs 27:17 and John 15:13 — a reminder that true worship comes through community and sacrificial love. The song feels like a sunrise — familiar yet full of hope — inviting the listener to lean into God’s tenderness and promises in every season.
4 - ‘promise’ - sun haze
sun haze’s single “Promise” pulses with an indie-rock heartbeat and lyricism that feels both intimate and expansive. The artist’s Instagram teases this as “Christ‑driven music that isn’t worship‑box predictable,” and the track delivers on that promise. Its driving rhythm and heartfelt vocals explore themes of encounter and assurance—like stumbling into a sacred promise in everyday life. With lines that echo hope and commitment, it captures that moment when the whisper of Jesus cuts through the noise. Worship for moments beyond Sunday—something you’ll want on repeat.
5 - ‘Begin Again’ - The Rennisans
“Begin Again” by The Rennisans feels like a fresh start wrapped in melody—a hopeful reflection on grace and new chapters. With soft folk-pop vibes and heartfelt vocals, the song invites listeners into moments of renewal, echoing the promise that every morning can be a fresh beginning with God. It’s the kind of indie song that sounds like sunrise, offering encouragement, reconciliation, and a gentle reminder: no matter the past, faith always offers a second chance.
6 - ‘Calling Me Home’ - Taylor Armstrong
Taylor Armstrong’s “Calling Me Home” is a soulful offering that feels like a prayerful journey back to the heart. With intimate vocals and a warm, folk-inspired arrangement, the song carries the weight of longing and spiritual homesickness. Inspired by Taylor’s own seasons of searching and returning, the lyrics echo a call to rest—not in a place, but in the presence of God. It’s tender worship wrapped in sincerity, reminding us that sometimes the hardest journey is the one back home, into His arms.
7 - ‘Sunrise’ - John Mark Pantana
John Mark Pantana’s “Sunrise” unfolds like a gentle dawn breaking over shadowed seas—an indie-worship gem that feels like both a promise and a prayer. With layered acoustic guitar and softly swelling harmonies, the track captures that tender moment when hope begins to tease back the night. The lyrics speak of renewal and closeness, as if God’s presence is dawning with every chord. It’s a sonic embrace for anyone standing on the edge of something new, yet longing for the warmth of being known. A perfect anthem for hearts ready to wake into grace.
