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.

"Feelings" by Marlee Smith: When Anxiety Meets the King of Kings

"Feelings" by Marlee Smith is proof that age has nothing to do with wisdom. Marlee (now 17 years old) wrote this song when she was 12, and captures something that most of us struggle to put into words… the overwhelming weight of unspoken emotions. Rediscovered years later, Marlee brought this song to life with a beautiful piano arrangement. Marlee shared: "I changed a bit of the chorus to have more of a purpose, learning from what I struggled with in the past." The song opens honestly: "Fill my brain with the feelings, good and bad, don't know what it is." Does this sound familiar? Whether it's anxiety, the pressure of impossible standards, or the fear that your mistakes have permanently derailed God's plan — Marlee names them all. She doesn't dress up reality and allows it to be messy.  As you listen, the message shifts. What started as "I can't let it out" gradually turns into an invitation as it reaches a turning point: ...

'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...

"Miracles" by Yair Levi: You Don't Need a Burning Sky to Believe

The song “Miracles” by Yair Levi starts before the sun rises, in the quiet of an ordinary morning. No dramatic sign. No burning sky. Just a man waking up, closing his eyes, and saying “toda” , the Hebrew word for “thank you.” That single word sets the tone for everything that this song is about.  The song’s message is simple and powerful… God doesn’t need burning skies to prove that He’s real. Yair uses a quote by Steve Jobs that reframes everything: “If you smile // if you laugh // You are more // Rich than me.” In the next verse, he continues: “Like a bird // On the breeze // Like the first time // You breath // Help me see // Simple things.” What if the miracle you’ve been waiting for is already here, hiding in plain sight? Levi points out that everyday life can be seen as sacred ground. Wherever you look, you’ll see small miracles. Think about the breath in your lungs, the morning light, your ability to feel joy… these aren’t small things, they’re miracles!  May this so...
