'Secret - AD Radio Mix' by Lilli: Discovering Your True Worth Through Song


Lilli - Secret - AD Radio Mix

Lilli’s song, “Secret — AD Radio Mix,” is an invitation to look at your true identity through the lens of God’s unending love. This song is very to Lilli, triggered by watching her friends struggle, all because they didn’t know who they really are, nor were they able to feel God’s love surrounding them.

The lyrics are filled with metaphors, sometimes making it a challenge to grasp its meaning. In the first verse, Lilli observes: “Asking your questions to the sky / You from silence to screaming why / Swapping your memories for a bottle.” Possibly you experience (or have experienced) this as well…. an often-painful search for true meaning in life. Moments where we may have traded peace for fleeting distractions, only to find regret waiting on the other side.

In the chorus, you hear Lilli’s cry: “Are you running on empty / So that you’re not running at all / Are you living just to die? / Running out of time to kill / Can I tell you a secret?” Reaching out to others with an open heart, ready to share the life-changing truth we experience in Christ. A truth that unlocks our a realization that our worth can be found in the immense love that God has for us.

What started as a message for Lilli’s friends is also her message to you. An invitation to experience a deep connection with God, a connection that will hold you strong in times of uncertainty. Look at how Lilli nails this feeling in the bridge, saying, “Did they tell you / You won’t be heard but you will be seen / Just let me tell you.” What more do we need? An invitation to come as you are, to be real, to feel seen and loved.

Give “Secret — AD Radio Mix” a listen. May it remind you of who you truly are, how God truly loves you as you are, and wants to be part of your life.

(Related scripture: Hebrews 4:16; Jeremiah 29:11; Psalm 34:18; Romans 8:38-39)

'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...
