New Release: "Uncomfortable" — When the shaking starts making you look up
May 13, 2026
Out today: a new song called "Uncomfortable."
I wrote this one on my back porch, just sitting there looking at my life and realizing it didn't line up with the plans I'd laminated a few months back.
For a while I was doing what I always do when things get heavy. Head down. Push harder. White-knuckle it until the storm passed.
But something shifted as I sat there. I started looking around instead of pushing through. And what I noticed almost stopped me.
There were people right there. Friends who had been calling me on the worst days for no reason. Not because I asked. Not because they knew. Just because something had nudged them to check in. I tried to count how many times that had happened in the last few months and I lost track.
There were single lines of truth that had been showing up in my mind. The Spirit teaching me one phrase at a time and letting it sit there for a day. Then later, the exact moment I needed it, that phrase would come back. Right when I would have spiraled. Right when I would have said something I'd regret.
And there were people who needed me on the same days I needed help. God would send someone with a problem and ask me to step into their situation, which pulled me out of mine. Every time I chose them over my own emotions, my own weight got a little lighter.
That's where the chorus came from. When I get uncomfortable, I start looking around. Comfort had me keeping my head down. The shaking made me look up.
My favorite line in the song is "the life I thought was failing was You teaching me to call." Because that's exactly what it was. I thought I was being broken. I was being taught.
If you're in an uncomfortable season right now, I hope this one meets you there. Not to fix it. Just to give you permission to look up.
