"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.

"The Perfect Man" by Kaylyn Sahs: Finding the Only One Who Never Fails

(by Jasper Tan) “The Perfect Man” is a very beautiful love song by Kaylyn Sahs. I’ve never heard such a beautiful love song written for Jesus that is very relatable, and that truly defines how it is to be loved. Jesus is the only perfect Man who can fulfill our hearts and complete us. His Love is the only kind of Love that we all should desire to have. A lot of the people out there who are still searching to find love and find the perfect partner that they could spend their life with should listen to this song. The song helps to define the type of person they should be looking for and not settle for anything less, because we truly deserve someone who could love them that is as pure as Jesus.  Kaylyn shares that this song is her personal testimony of finding a love that never fails or walks away. And like most people out there who are still in the process of finding love, Kaylyn has also been there, patiently waiting for the perfect partner to come into her life and complete her, on...

"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...

"Sometime" by Robert Peterson and The Crusade: God always finds us

(by Jasper Tan) In the tradition of our favorite CCM rock anthems from the 90's and early 2000's (the Jars of Clay and Vertical Horizon come to mind), Robert Peterson and The Crusade's recently released single, called "Sometime," is a joyful experience to listen to. This is a rock song that speaks about waiting and being prepared for the right moment to be called by Jesus. It comes from a place where the miracle and the sudden arrival of God in our lives are always unpredictable. But when we are ready, God will find us. The lyricism of the song is written in such a way that there are double meanings and vague messages. I understand the artistic decision to write this in such a manner. I always believe that evangelism isn't always straightforward, and there is definitely not a one-size-fits-all approach. Sometimes people who have yet to encounter Jesus in their lives may feel resistance and apathy towards the truth of Jesus' love for us, but are open to mes...
