"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)

"Take the Wheel" by Bonnie Jean Bailey: Why Surrender Feels So Hard

What are you still holding on to instead of giving it to God?  Three in the morning has a way of exposing what we’ve been avoiding all day. Bonnie Jean Bailey knows that hour well. In her song “Take the Wheel,” she sings about the tossing and turning, being “sick and tired of all this worrying,” and bags so heavy they threaten to burst. Can you picture that? Most of us carry something similar. Possibly we don’t call it a levy as Bonnie does, but the burden isn’t less.  Bonnie points out a pattern that we need to be aware of… “Every time I try to hand it over, I take it back cuz I need control of everything.” Does this sound familiar? We pray about something that is worrying us, feel a moment of relief, and then quietly pick up the burden again an hour or so later.  Bonnie isn’t preaching from a distance here. She’s describing her own tug-of-war between fear and faith. And to be honest, that could also be my tug-of-war that she is describing. Is it also your tug-of-war a...

"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....

"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 ...
