"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.

"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....

"Come Let Us Go" by NARROWAY: Journey to the Mountain of Light

It's difficult to imagine that there will be a day when all nations are tired of the chaos and finally ask, "Where do we go from here?" The answer to that question is the theme of NARROWAY's "Come, Let Us Go." The lyrics are inspired by Isaiah 2 and Micah 4, and look forward to "… the days that are coming, the mountain will rise // Lifted above all the nations and skies // People will gather from near and far // Saying, "Let's go to where His teachings are." As we observe the chaos in the world, the wars, and the rumor of wars, it's hard to imagine that "Swords turned to plows, war fades away // Shalom will reign in Yah's good way." Believe it or not, there will be a day with "No more fear, no more fight // Just His Torah shining bright." But the key message of this song isn't a distant promise! The lyrics pull us to the here and now… our present reality. The reality is that God's Kingdom is stepping on...

'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...
