This week’s featured song story comes to us from Jon Reddick. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “God, Turn It Around.”
“God turn it around. That song started as a prayer. I was on the phone with my dad and we don’t usually talk for too long, maybe 2-3 minutes tops. For some reason this day we were on the phone for an hour sharing stories about what happened in our lives. He was sharing some hard things and I remember at the end of our conversation being so grateful to God for us even being able to have that time, how He was mending things in our relationship as father/son. With tears in my eyes I looked up and said, ‘God you really do turn things around.‘” – Jon Reddick
