The War Within is more than just a music project; it’s the manifestation of John Harter’s battles with depression and anxiety, and his unwavering faith in Jesus. Throughout his life, John has faced the challenges of living with bipolar disorder, struggling to find a greater purpose. However, everything changed when he decided to place his trust in God. Embracing his personal journey with Jesus, John felt a calling to pursue a music career that would not only allow him to worship the God he loves but also encourage others who were facing their own struggles.
For John, music became an outlet to stay balanced and connect with others in a deeply personal way. Songwriting became a powerful tool for exploring his innermost fears and shedding light on the path to positivity. His creative process is fluid, often starting with melodies and allowing the lyrics to naturally unfold. From poetic one-liners to chord progressions, inspiration can strike from various sources, guiding him on a joyous creative journey.
The War Within understands that he is not alone in his struggles. His music serves as a medium to find healing, connect with those experiencing similar emotional turmoil, and explore the delicate relationship between humanity and God. In songs like “Crisis of Faith,” The War Within reminds listeners that even in the face of adversity, God is always present, protecting and guiding us. Through introspection and the pursuit of faith, John weaves together a heartfelt reminder that we are not alone and that there is always hope.
This has been an exhilarating time for The War Within, as the project received recognition from Spotify with a handpicked editorial feature for the cover “What A Saviour.” The track became a standout on the “New Music Friday Christian” playlist, expanding The War Within’s reach and sharing his beautiful music with listeners worldwide. It’s a significant milestone in his mission to minister to the lost and hurting.
In his latest EP, “Just Hold On,” The War Within embraces a more hopeful tone, a testament to the artist’s personal growth and resilience. The single “You’re Still Good to Me” stands out as a poignant expression of gratitude even in the midst of darkness and failure, reaffirming the goodness of God.
Another remarkable accomplishment is the release of the album “here/after,” featuring an impressive 40 tracks and collaborations with talented musicians. It was a labor of love, taking months to coordinate sessions and infuse depth into each song. The result is a true masterpiece, a creative statement that showcases The War Within’s genuine passion for the Christian music scene.
