Episode Description

This week on Rewrite, Jonathan Unthank, Music Director at The Light FM, sits down with worship leader and artist Peter Burton—you might know him from his song “Where Would I Be.” In this episode, Peter shares his story of growing up in church, walking through seasons of anxiety, and what it really means to choose faith every single day.

He talks about the powerful moment his mom reminded him that “Faith isn’t a feeling, it’s a choice”—and how that truth changed everything. Peter also opens up about why gratitude became a lifeline for him and why he believes God is glorified not only in healing but in the sustaining.

If you’ve ever wondered where God is in the middle of your struggle, Peter’s story will encourage you to keep going and trust that hope is real.

Remember...

  1. Faith is not about feelings—it’s a daily choice to trust God, even when emotions don’t line up.

  2. God’s strength is often revealed in our weakness; your ongoing struggle can still bring Him glory.

  3. Gratitude is powerful. Counting your blessings can shift your perspective and bring peace in the middle of anxiety.
