“This album has been such a long time coming, and I’m so thankful to share it with the world. It’s really the story of my own journey through some really hard things the past few years - pain, disappointment, loss, confusion, sin. I’ve been telling people this album was the easiest to write, but the hardest to live. The beautiful thing about it all is the experience of the goodness of God in the middle of all the hard, the priceless experience of knowing him in new, specific ways that I truly would not have had otherwise. Suffering with Jesus produces a peculiar, incomparable joy. For that reason, as crazy as it sounds, I can say that I wouldn’t change a thing. I hope people can see their own stories in this record and be able to say the same.” - Branan Murphy

Several song highlights from the album have been featured including a beautiful performance of “Still” on grammys.com that features Davies.
