Anne Wilson: Grief, Anxiety & God’s Faithfulness

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/eb8cb9d7-5db7-4844-a8eb-b4130110cefd/transcript

This week on The Upload, Brooke Taylor and Pastor Mark Evans sit down with hit songwriter and producer Ben Johnson for a deeply thoughtful conversation about faith, doubt, creativity, and learning to trust God in the middle of unanswered questions. Ben has written songs for some of the biggest names in music—including Morgan Wallen, Jelly Roll, HARDY, Justin Timberlake, Charlie Puth, and Lee Brice—and recently appeared on Netflix’s Hitmakers, a first-of-its-kind series that pulls back the curtain on the songwriting process.

But this conversation goes far beyond the music. Ben opens up about growing up in church while wrestling with skepticism, why the prayer “Lord, I believe—help my unbelief” has become so personal to him, and how his faith has been shaped more by honest questions than easy answers. He also shares the incredible story of meeting his wife over and over again throughout his life, the vulnerability of creating under pressure, and why consistency matters more than inspiration.

Plus, Ben talks about the deeper purpose behind creativity, the importance of being honest with God, and the mission behind MHI (Mental Health Initiative)—a nonprofit helping fund long-term residential treatment for people recovering from repeated suicide attempts. This episode is for anyone asking hard questions, wrestling with trust, or wondering whether God can still meet them in the middle of doubt.
