his week on The Upload, Brooke Taylor and Pastor Mark Evans sit down with country artist Chase Wright for one of the most honest and vulnerable conversations we've had yet. Chase opens up about the moments that brought him to rock bottom, becoming a single father, rebuilding his life, and discovering that sometimes God meets us most powerfully when we've run out of strength.

Chase shares how a friend's simple invitation to church and church camp transformed his faith as a teenager, why he believes God often uses our deepest trials to shape our greatest purpose, and how surrender—not self-reliance—became the turning point in his story. He also reflects on navigating the music industry as a Christian, wrestling with conviction in his songwriting, and learning what it truly means to live a life that points others to Jesus.

Together, they discuss:
How God uses brokenness to build stronger faith
Becoming a single dad and finding hope through heartbreak
Why "casting your cares" is more than just a Bible verse
Learning to trust God's timing over your own plans
Living with conviction in a culture that celebrates compromise
Reading Scripture through the lens of real-life trials
Marriage, purity, parenting, and leading by example
Why your greatest testimony may come from your hardest season

One of the most powerful moments of the episode comes as Chase recalls falling to his knees in desperation, praying, "God, just take this—I can't carry it anymore." Looking back, he now sees how surrendering his pain became the beginning of healing, reminding listeners that even when circumstances don't immediately change, God can begin changing your heart.

Honest, heartfelt, and full of hope, this episode is a reminder that no one is beyond God's grace. Your lowest moments don't disqualify you—they may be the very place where God begins writing your greatest testimony.

🎧 If you've ever wondered why God allows hardship, struggled with shame from your past, or needed the courage to surrender what you can't control, this conversation will remind you that God is still working—even in the middle of the valley.
