Brandon Lake is a giant in Christian music, but he is now doing something very different. He recently went to a house in the woods for five days to write music with big country stars. During this short time, they wrote a total of 43 songs together. He wants to help people who feel like they do not fit in at church.
These new songs are for a group of men he calls the Bubbas. These are the guys who only go to church because their wives ask them to go. They usually sit in the back row and feel like they are not good enough for God. Brandon wants to use the grit of country music to tell them that they actually do belong.
God Put A Dream In My Heart To Start Loving On And Encouraging Those Leading In The Country Music Space
People are very excited to see Brandon working with stars like Lainey Wilson and Hardy. One fan said that this is exactly what the world needs right now. Another person wrote that they have been waiting for a song that feels this honest.
The main song from this trip is a duet titled “The Jesus I Know Now.” It talks about how some people are taught that God is always angry or mean. Brandon and Lainey sing about a different kind of love that welcomes people who make mistakes. It is a big change from his usual church songs because it sounds like something you would hear on a country radio station.
Been Loving The Song I Wrote With Lainey
This song tells the story of finding a friend in God instead of a judge. The lyrics mention things like smoking and drinking to show that God loves people even when they are messy. Fans love how the music feels dusty and raw rather than shiny and perfect. It is the perfect bridge for someone who loves country life but seeks hope.
