Challenge Point is a ministry focused on helping individuals and groups discover the potential God has placed within them. Josh Jackson's musical gift is one example of the talent that can be used to the glory of God when individuals take courage and walk in faith. "Oh wow, is that Matchbox 20?" asked a passing work colleague, obviously impressed. "No", I replied. "Quite good though, isn't it?" The songs are all acoustic guitar driven, with Josh's endearing vocals shining through each one. "Till Tomorrow", "Road Called Life", and "One More Day" are all bright, choppy numbers that make an instant impression on the listener. "I Still Remember" is a quieter and more reflective number, focusing on days gone by. "My Father's House" and "You Gotta" are just two more catchy songs that had me tapping my feet and wishing that there was more than just the mere 35 minutes. There is a dip in musical quality when "Rhythm Sine"'s retro rock - complete with overdriven guitar and keyboards - just doesn't work. Likewise, "Take Me Along". But these don't stop this album from being a refreshing change from all the usual radio fodder.
