An Artist’s Duty

Nina Simone famously stated that an artist’s duty is to reflect the times in which we live. For those even slightly familiar with the artist’s legacy, that includes the roots from whence we came.

Single Still Gon Trust

Joshua Rogers, a Greeleyville, South Carolina native has returned to the gospel charts again with his single Still Gon Trust. Still Gon Trust is a personal testament of how Joshua endured during the height of the pandemic. How appropriate is his song during this time of war between Russia and Ukraine. Joshua Rogers understands how disruptions caused by life can place you in despair. One day, everything is good and then life pulls the rug from under your feet. Still Gon Trust is relevant for anyone who has faced or is facing life challenges. Whether you are a believer or someone who is in need of hope for a better tomorrow. We thank God for a joyful noise in the air. Still Gon Trust is a friendly reminder, no matter what the circumstances are, as a believer we can place our trust in the word of God. Taking our hands off and allowing our faith to activate in something greater than ourselves.
