"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)

Brandon Lake's heartfelt message resonates with the reality that there are times when we find ourselves in prisons and battles.

"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....
