This week on The Upload, host Brooke Taylor and co-host Pastor Mark Evans sit down with singer-songwriter Drew Parker for a candid, faith-filled conversation about surrender, obedience, and learning to hear the voice of God.
Known for writing chart-topping songs for artists like Luke Combs, Blake Shelton, and Jake Owen, Drew opens up about the moment success stopped satisfying and how God used restlessness, Scripture, and an unexpected messenger to redirect his life.
The conversation explores the cost of surrender, the freedom found in obedience, and the courage it takes to step out of comfort and into calling. Drew speaks honestly about pride, repentance, discipleship, and how faith reshaped his view of success, community, and fatherhood.
This episode is for anyone wrestling with comfort versus calling, struggling to hear God’s voice, or sensing that there’s more on the other side of obedience. Drew Parker’s story is a powerful reminder that true fulfillment isn’t found in success, but in surrender.
🎧 Listen in for an honest conversation about faith, obedience, and choosing calling over comfort.
