"He Calls Me Friend" by Luminate House: Joy Through Christ’s Unwavering Love


"He Calls Me Friend (LIVE)" by Luminate House is a passionate song about the fact that Jesus doesn't just see us as followers; He calls us "friends" (John 15:15). Just let that sink in for a moment! What does this mean for us today? The fact that He calls us friend brings so much hope, especially if you're facing doubt or feel like the "enemy" is trying to steal your joy. The song is trying to trigger paradigm shift in your heart, "The Devil tryna steal my joy… But I have a friend in God." 

Luminate House - He Calls Me Friend (LIVE)This song celebrates the life-changing power of God's friendship with us. Lines like "He called me out with the promise of freedom" highlight His relentless pursuit of our hearts. He also sets the tone for what true friendship means… true friends don't give up! In Jesus we have a very special Friend, because "He knows my story, and He knows the end." This reassures us that no matter how daunting the circumstances may seem, God is always on time (His time), making a way for us, even when there seems to be no way forward or way out. His ways are always higher than ours. 

If you're searching for encouragement or just need a reminder of how much God loves you, may this song give you that encouragement. May it help you to feel His love in your heart, see His love in your life, and help you to see Him as the Friend that will never let you go.

(Related scripture: John 15:15; Psalm 34:10; 1 Peter 5:8-9)

"Back to Life" by James Bizak: Power in the Name of Jesus With Pop Punk Sound

"Back to Life" by James Bizak is a raw, high-energy pop punk track with a bold Christian truth… Whenever we are feeling broken or lost, we will find hope and redemption in Jesus. The choice of this genre is intended to reach a wider audience, as well as more youth, right where they are—possibly feeling broken, abandoned, or even feeling dead inside.  The lyrics reflect a pain and emptiness that so many people are feeling: "I've been broken // Beaten down // My faith stolen."
