"Everything Good" by Dawson Shorman: Trusting Him Through the Pruning


There are times when life can feel like an endless storm, raging on and on, with hardly a break in between. We see dreams crumble, periods in life that don’t fill us with energy, and bad news followed by more bad news. It’s in those moments when we’re left wondering… “What’s so good about God right now? Is He even there?” Dawson Shorman wrote “Everything Good” from that same place… hurting, yes — and despite everything, still choosing to trust that God is good even when it’s hard to believe it. This isn’t a song for those perfect days. It’s for the messy ones, waiting, the pruning seasons.

Dawson Shorman - Everything Good

Dawson doesn’t sugarcoat the struggle. “If my dreams all crumble // Will I sit here in the rumble?” That’s real! But instead of wallowing, He asks: “Will I find the hidden Beauty in the ruins?” Can I trust the One who prunes so my roots grow deeper? The chorus is a declaration, “I’ll keep on waiting. I’ll keep on trusting.” Why? Because God doesn’t just fix things — He makes them better than we ever could imagine.

You’ve been there as well, haven’t you? Maybe that’s where you are right now! May this song remind you that you’re not alone. Your stormy season won’t last forever. God is enough, even now.

Listen. Breathe. Trust. He’s making everything good.

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...
