"Still Good" by Olly Kiff: Faith Refined Through Fire


Have you ever questioned God's goodness, especially when everything around you seems to be falling apart? It's been over a year since Olly's family faced a devastating house fire. Olly shares: "I remember going to church that Sunday and we were singing Goodness of God - a song I've sung hundreds of times and led many times. I suddenly found myself in that moment unable to sing and in the midst of what had happened that week I asked myself "is God still good?"" 

Olly Kiff - Still GoodThe lyrics of this song takes us along that journey from situational faith to absolute trust. We're quick to proclaim God's goodness when blessings flow, but what about when those things don't happen? As Olly puts it, "We're not quite as quick to say "the house fell through - God is good" or "I didn't get the job - God is good."" 

Olly reminds us that God's goodness isn't contingent on our circumstances. Instead of letting tragedy define his faith, Kiff discovered a deeper truth: "Even in the fire, even in the flood, You're still God, You're still good." 

But most of all, this song invites you to join him in as he declares, "God You're good, in every season God You're good." Open your heart to discover God's goodness in a whole new way, one that is not based on situations or circumstances. It's a fact! GOD IS GOOD! 

"Life may change, but Your goodness remains." When you face your own fires, will you choose to trust His faithful hand?

(Related scripture: Psalm 34:8; James 1:17; Romans 8:28)

A declaration of consistent devotion and faithfulness to God (by Jasper Tan) Chrystal Williams-Alberty’s “I Love to Praise Your Name” is a beautiful and heartfelt contemporary praise and worship song. The song focuses on our devotion and adoration to our God. The lyrics are simple but deep in expression. Reminding us that to worship God is a lifelong commitment, and we should always give our gratitude and faithfulness to our loving God.

"Great Is Thy Faithfulness" by Gethsemane Instrumental: Finding Steady Ground in the Storm

God’s mercies are new every morning — do you notice? “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” by Gethsemane Instrumental is one of the tracks in John Long’s upcoming instrumental project. Gethsemane Instrumental is a space for prayer, a quiet room where listeners can sit with Jesus without distraction. Hardships visited John more than once. He also went through Ministry seasons that tested him in ways that could have hollowed him out. But something kept pulling John back to the same conviction: “He is faithful.” Not faithful when convenient. Not faithful in the easy seasons only. Faithful “through every storm,” standing “unmoved and unwavering” while everything around him shifted. “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” is the first single off John’s upcoming Hymns Devotional Vol. 2 project. This song has been a staple song for him throughout his entire walk with Jesus.  That kind of steadiness isn’t new. Thomas Chisholm penned the original song in 1923, sitting in Baldwin City, Kansas, worn down by frai...

"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...
