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.

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"What's That I Hear? (Murrell Ewing Cover)" by The Fosters: When Gospel Comes Home

What if one song could make you feel the pull of heaven so strongly that your heart wishes: "Please don't wake me // For soon the eastern sky will part and I'll see His face." That's exactly what The Fosters deliver with their reimagining of Murrell & Joan Ewing's 1978 classic, "What's That I Hear?" Originally a staple of Rev. Murrell Ewing's ministry and later recorded by various southern gospel legends, this song has been brought home, straight back to its Pentecostal roots. Andrew, Devi, and their three children breathe new life into it, layering family harmony over a real brass section that powers a Sunday morning revival. The longing that is at the heart of this song is unmistakable: "This old world has lost its charm; it's no place for me." It touches a feeling that many believers know quite well, a sense of restlessness and longing for something larger than what this earthly life has to offer. The song reminds us th...

"Living Proof" by Island Tribe Collective: When His People Unite, Mountains Move

(by Jasper Tan) "Living Proof" by Island Tribe Collective (featuring Sherwin Gardner, Marc Isaacs, and Alicia Taylor) is a live recording of a powerful, high-energy worship anthem that embodies what the collective calls "Caribbean Worship." The group invites us into a celebration of faith, utilizing the culture from the Caribbean islands and how they express it as a living proof of God's goodness. The song talks about our faith and the new beginnings that are promised to us after we overcome our struggles and hardships. Their repeated proclamation of "Lord, I'm living proof" aims to drive down the message that each one of us is already a living proof of God's faithfulness love, and mercy. We all have our own unique faith experiences and stories that could somehow inspire the people around us. So for those of us who have been know for our strong faith, being able to overcome our struggles and testify about it, brings a more concrete testimony an...
