As you all know, Jon Foreman is Switchfoot's lead singer. A few years ago he did some solo songs. I finally found them on YouTube and seriously like them better than his music with Switchfoot. While Switchfoot is semi-secular, Jon sings openly about his faith and about life. I'm certain he isn't Reformed, but I found songs that could fit all five of the petals.
Total Depravity -- Here Jon sings about how wretched his life is, how he should be dead, and how he can't move past his circumstances.
Unconditional Election -- God is the one who has to resurrect Jon. Not Jon. Not me. Now free will. Just God.
Limited Atonement -- Jesus's sacrifice completely sets people free. It doesn't make salvation merely possible. It makes it definite, and nothing will keep his Bride from going free.
Irresistible Grace -- "You are turning our hearts back to you."
Perseverance of the Saints -- In the house of God forever. Nothing can change that.
