In the latest edition of GRAMMY.com's inspirational video series, Positive Vibes Only, Chicago-bred singer/songwriter Natalie Bergman delivers her psychedelic, gospel-infused "Talk To The Lord," with angelic support from the Chicago Children's Choir.

It's one thing to write a gospel song that hectors and chides; it's another to write a devotional that disintegrates the ego and basks in spiritual light.

Israel Houghton, who performs with the collective New Breed, firmly belongs to the latter category. In his gorgeous, droning song "Accepted," he plumbs spiritual dimensions with languorousness and delicacy that would make Astral Weeks-era Van Morrison proud.

In the latest episode of Positive Vibes Only, watch Israel and the New Breed perform "Accepted," which Houghton wrote with Bre Botello, Rick Botello and Ethan Kent. The composition blooms from droning, negative space to a rapturous climax.

Our family, friends, jobs and every other sector of life are bound to let us down now and again. But music may be the only component of our existence that always does us a solid. TV personality and host Jason Carter is keenly aware of this.

"It's a safe space; it's a solace; it's a comfortable blanket that we all need from time to time," Carter says in the latest episode of Positive Vibes Only. "Especially after everything we've been through in the last year, many are finding it hard to adjust to their new normal and what that looks like."

That said, "You can always rely on music to put a smile on your face," Carter says. He then introduces Hillsong Worship, a devout duo who performs its ascendant song, "Hosanna," on voice and piano while shrouded in monochrome.

In the latest episode of Positive Vibes Only, singer/songwriter Zach Williams measures his fallibility in relation to Christ in the ambling jam "Less Like Me"

It's one thing to write a boast track: it's another thing entirely to do the opposite. 

In Zach Williams' upbeat, poignant gospel song "Less Like Me," he considers all the moments in which he could have acted Christlike. "Somebody with a hurt that I could have helped/ Somebody with a hand that I could have helped," he sings.

And in the chorus, Williams lists attributes he'd like to have, as opposed to the ones he's got: mercy, grace, kindness, goodness, love, faith, patience, peace. "A little more like Jesus," goes the kicker line summing it all up, "a little less like me."

In the latest episode of Positive Vibes Only, watch Zach Williams and his band perform the probing, life-affirming "Less Like Me." Check out the performance above and watch more episodes of Positive Vibes Only here.

We're now entering the second March of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite vaccines being rolled out worldwide, many are falling victim to a feeling of hopelessness. To Lewis Howes, gratitude is our sharpest weapon for when we feel ourselves spiraling, gripped by COVID fatigue.

"It's really hard to be anxious, stressed, overwhelmed and angry while you're being grateful," the author, keynote speaker and entrepreneur says in the latest episode of Positive Vibes Only.

"So, anytime you're feeling those emotions, thoughts or frustrations, focus on something you're so grateful for," he continues. This, he explains, could be as minor as a meal or as major as a transformative experience with a loved one.

Howes then introduces Mali Music, a four-time GRAMMY-nominated gospel-R&B great, who performs his deeply spiritual ode to divine favor, "My Blessings." Mali Music is currently nominated for Best Gospel Performance/Song for his 2020 song "Movin' On," with Jonathan McReynolds, at the 2021 GRAMMY Awards show.
