'Nostalgia' by LILLI - Missing the 80's and looking forward to Heaven


LILLI released an interesting debut track called 'Nostalgia'. A song that switches back and forth between the 80's and a longing for Heaven. At its core, the lyrics are about a longing for a place we haven't seen but know exists - our heavenly home. While LILLI misses the 80's, the key message isn't about looking back to the past, it is more about feeling connected to a glorious future that we've been promised. 

LILLI - Nostalgia (AD Radio Edit)The lyrics manages to captures this longing by speaking of a familiar unfamiliarity - like wearing clothes still new to us or exploring roads not yet traveled. It invites us into a shared experience of anticipation for what's beyond. A reminder of a promise that is so easy to forget in the hustle of life, our final & grand homecoming. 

When you first listen, the song sounds like a trip down memory lane, looking back at past memories, but here is the kicker… it's about looking forward, to future memories and feeling that gentle pull of eternity that we all have inside us. 

Curious? Go ahead and give 'Nostalgia' a listen. Let it be a reminder of the heavenly home that is waiting for us, and ignite a desire to prepare for that home. See this song as a compass that is pointing us to the eternal, and encourages us to keep our hearts anchored in His love and His promise of what's to come.

(Related scripture: Hebrews 11:14–16; Philippians 3:20-21; 2 Corinthians 5:2)

"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....

"Ebenezer" by David Dowdell: Faithful Before, Faithful Now, Faithful Forever

Looking back builds the courage to keep moving forward.  Samuel once set up a stone after a battle and named it Ebenezer, saying, “Till now the Lord has helped us.” That single stone became a marker, a physical reminder planted in the ground so nobody could walk past it and forget what God had done. “Ebenezer” by David Dowdell borrows that same idea. “Here I raise my Ebenezer, only by your help I’ve come,” the lyrics declare, and that line carries generations of gratitude.  Think about your own life for a moment. Where have you seen God show up? Maybe it was a financial provision you can’t fully explain, or a battle against sin you thought you’d never win. The song declares: “You’ve brought me victory in the battle against sin and self-defeat.” That’s a testimony, the kind worth remembering on your hardest days. Your Ebenezer.  Here’s why remembering matters so much. Psalm 77:11 says, “I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your wonders of old.” Y...

"No One Like You Jesus" by Morgan Starner: Why Only Jesus Can Carry Your Burdens

Who really deserves your loudest praise? “No One Like You Jesus” by Morgan Starner didn’t start in a studio. It started as a voice memo, hummed late at night, half-formed and unfinished. Morgan took that fragile melody into the studio and built it up, layer by layer, until it held over 100 stacked vocals. The result sounds like a celebration. Bright, rhythmic, and impossible to sit still while listening. That’s the point of this song… Gospel-pop with a modern pulse, made to move bodies and hearts at the same time.  Listen to the bridge, and you’ll hear a question underneath the beat: “Who else gonna take my burdens? Who else gonna get me through?” Morgan answers the question without hesitation. “No one else but You.”   Scripture asks the same question, thousands of years earlier. Here is how Moses responded after crossing the Red Sea: “Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?” (Exodus 15:11, ESV...
