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.

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"Come Let Us Go" by NARROWAY: Journey to the Mountain of Light

It's difficult to imagine that there will be a day when all nations are tired of the chaos and finally ask, "Where do we go from here?" The answer to that question is the theme of NARROWAY's "Come, Let Us Go." The lyrics are inspired by Isaiah 2 and Micah 4, and look forward to "… the days that are coming, the mountain will rise // Lifted above all the nations and skies // People will gather from near and far // Saying, "Let's go to where His teachings are." As we observe the chaos in the world, the wars, and the rumor of wars, it's hard to imagine that "Swords turned to plows, war fades away // Shalom will reign in Yah's good way." Believe it or not, there will be a day with "No more fear, no more fight // Just His Torah shining bright." But the key message of this song isn't a distant promise! The lyrics pull us to the here and now… our present reality. The reality is that God's Kingdom is stepping on...

'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...
