New Release: "Go with Him" — A song about choosing optimism right where you're standing
May 13, 2026
Out today: a new song called "Go with Him."
I wrote this one after a Sunday where I honestly did not feel like sitting still.
I was in church, but my mind was already somewhere else. It felt like every problem in life had decided to show up at the same time. I remember sitting there with that anxious pressure building, the kind where you feel like if you do not get up and start fixing things immediately, everything is going to get worse. Part of me wanted to leave after the first couple of minutes and go try to solve all of it.
But I felt the Spirit tell me to sit down, calm my heart, and listen.
Then a young man got up and gave a talk about optimism. He talked about how he had found more of God's presence and guidance as he focused on being optimistic. And the timing hit me hard, because I was sitting there in my own pessimism. I was surrounded by thoughts that were anxious, negative, and heavy, and then I heard words of optimism start coming out of his mouth.
It felt like God was answering me in real time. A small and simple invitation: choose optimism right here. Choose to look for Me right here. Choose not to worship the negativity of this moment.
That is where this song came from.
Small and simple, follow Him.
Don't get lost in all of it.
That is exactly what I almost did. I almost got lost in all of it. Lost in the pressure and the over analysis. The Spirit did not tell me to solve everything that day. He told me to sit down and listen.
That was the small and simple thing.
