'Step Out' by Mark Dowdy: Your Anthem for Brave Faith


Imagine taking a morning walk while you're thinking about your next move. The morning is peaceful and calm, but the thoughts in your head are chaotic. You grab your earbuds in to listen to the CCM playlist we have, and the song 'Step Out' by Mark Dowdy comes by. The song is inspired by a moving scene from 'The Chosen'. It is a call to trust, and it whispers about the strength that you find in surrender and the power of faith.

Mark Dowdy - Step Out'Step Out' is about following Jesus, even when the waves are high and the night is dark. Remember what Peter did… He stepped out onto the water, eyes locked on Jesus, full of faith and fear. Now, it's your turn. This song reassures you that it's okay to have doubts, to feel the wave beneath your feet, because it's not about the strength of your faith but in whom your faith is placed.

Mark Dowdy has crafted a musical reminder that we're called to fix our eyes on Jesus, during any storm or calm. It's not just about overcoming fear; it's about walking towards Him, knowing He is always there to catch you. 'Step Out' encourages you to give Him your fears, your heart, and to trust in His unwavering promise - the sovereignty of God, our compass in every joy and trial.

Let this song be your anthem as you take that step of faith. He's got you.
