Tender Shepherd by Kristi Hepp: Embracing the Unchanging Love of Christ


A lot of people go through moments when the weight of life's burdens feels unbearable. In these moments, we are reminded of our need for a divine comforting embrace. Kristi Hepp's new song, 'Tender Shepherd,' tackles this longing and invites us to experience comfort in a way that only Christ can give us.

Kristi Hepp - Tender ShepherdKristi's song was inspired by Dane Ortlund's book 'Gentle & Lowly'. The song is an outpouring of Kristi's heart and shows how she came to understand the manner in which Christ loving sees each of us as we are struggling, falling down, and getting back up again. 'Tender Shepherd' came from a time of painful loss and offers a raw, organic, and relatable reflection on everyday life.

As the lyrics of this heartwarming song unfold, we find ourselves being drawn closer to the heart of our Tender Shepherd, who is not only our Healer but also the One who willingly gave His life for each of us. The lyrics encourage us to find comfort in the Father's good hands, reminding us that even though our dreams can be shattered and our hope can fade, it is God's love that endures.

Do not lose hope. Instead, fall into Christ's loving arms, loving arms that will gently lead us. Give 'Tender Shepherd' a listen and allow its message to lift your spirits and strengthen your faith. Realize that no matter what challenges life sends your way, you can always find comfort in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father.

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"the cost (given for us)" by HOMECOMING: Feeling the Weight of Grace

HOMECOMING's "the cost (given for us)" looks at the weight of what Jesus gave up to save humanity. The backstory that HOMECOMING wrote this song after talking about how easy it is to say "Jesus died for me" without really thinking about what that means. Like, what did it actually cost Him? Their approach wasn't to create another "thank You" song, but a song that invites us to slow down and truly feel the sacrifice He made. His sacrifice wasn't just a painful moment on a cross. It was everything. He gave up heaven. He was rejected, betrayed, beaten… and He still chose the cross for us. That kind of love doesn't make sense. But it's real. The lyrics give words to the awe we feel: "You took my place // How can it be // By your grace I'm saved." And lines like "Your blood washed me clean" and "By your stripes I'm healed" remind us of the freedom and healing that He paid for. Then comes the part that ...

"Wanna Be Like You" by One Common: Letting Go of People-Pleasing for Good

"Wanna Be Like You" by One Common is an interesting song that was born out of this duo's struggles with wanting to please people and the pressure they felt to perform. The song reminds us to stop chasing others for their approval and start chasing Jesus instead. "I'm so done tryna be someone else just to keep people's attention," they sing. It can be very exhausting to constantly pretend and perform. The song reminds us to keep our hearts and lives centered on Jesus—the only one who truly is worthy of being our role model. Not for applause. Not for attention. But because His way is the only one that brings real peace and fulfillment in our lives.  The need to please others and perform is probably a feeling that many of us know all too well — but it doesn't have to define us.  The lyrics of the song put the issue right there on the table: "Who am I tryna be, who am I tryna please? That's the question." And the answer? Ofcourse, Jesus i...
