Coming off the heels of back-to-back radio hits "Eye of the Storm" (#1 Billboard Christian Airplay) and "The Gospel" (Top #3 Billboard Christian Airplay), Ryan Stevenson released new single "No Matter What" today. Written and produced by Stevenson and Bryan Fowler, the song also features MercyMe frontman Bart Millard. "No Matter What" will be featured along with "Eye of the Storm" and "The Gospel" on Stevenson's latest Gotee Records release this Spring.
"Over the course of the last several years, I've continued to ask the Lord to give me songs that exist for a reason," shares Stevenson about the new single. "As we were working on this new record, a reoccurring theme I felt the Lord continually whisper to my heart was 'beloved identity.' I, like many of us, grew up in the church- a religious environment, where we weren't necessarily nurtured and taught about Gods grace, patience and compassion. As I continue to grow and experience life, the truth I continue to encounter is 'I am His son, no matter what.' It is easy to fall into the trap of performance based relationship with God when we've been taught in religious environments that He's mostly disappointed with us. This song hopefully will encourage all of us that even though we struggle, Jesus is overseeing the process."
Stevenson heads out on the 30-city TobyMac Hits Deep Tour next week.
