Episode Description

“God is really, really good in the valley too, and He’s just as near to us and He’s just as kind to us.” - Michael Cochren

Michael Cochren of Cochren & Co. joins Jonathan Unthank for a conversation about new fatherhood, waiting on God, and discovering that His goodness doesn’t depend on getting the answer we hoped for.

Michael also shares the heart behind Cochren & Co.’s album Runs in the Blood, why redemption and the story of the prodigal keep showing up in his music, and why he wants every song to point people toward the hope and grace of Jesus.

GOOD TO REMEMBER:

  • God’s goodness isn’t measured by whether we get what we’re praying for. 
  • The valley can become a place of incredible closeness with Jesus. 
  • You don’t have to know where you’re going when you trust your Shepherd.
