 13 songs that reminded me I wasn’t alone

I don’t attend church as often as I used to.
But gospel music never left me.

When life gets heavy, when the business gets rough, the family feels distant, or the silence starts screaming, this is what I press play on.

These songs don’t just uplift me.
They center me.

Why Gospel?

I grew up in church.
Gospel music shaped me.
Even now, in all my doubts, transitions, and rebuilds, I still find peace in those lyrics.

Gospel reminds me that broken isn’t the end.
That grace finds you in the middle.
That you can cry, and still stand.

This playlist isn’t about religion.
It’s about survival.
It’s the soundtrack to every comeback I didn’t post about.
