Josh Wilson is entering an exciting new chapter of music with his first new song of the year. The deeply personal track titled “It Gets Better” The song was inspired by Wilson’s struggle with anxiety, depression and alcohol addiction and is meant to be a source of encouragement and support for those struggling with mental health.
I’ve struggled for many years with anxiety and panic attacks, and more recently with depression. Until 2017, I self medicated my anxiety with alcohol, and eventually became addicted. By the grace of God (and with the help of family, friends, and therapy) I’m almost 7 years sober now. I’ll talk a lot about this song over the next few weeks, but the short story is that whether it’s in this life or the next, it’s going to get better. I love the quote “It all works out in the end. If it hasn’t worked out, it’s just not the end.” Jesus loves you and so do I.
Wilson promises 23 more new songs are slated for release throughout this year. Stay tuned for more details soon.

“This song came from a desire to focus our services and gatherings around what we are there to do—to worship God in all that we sing, speak, and pray. I wrote this song with our good friends Brandon Coker and Clay Finnesand for North Point Worship, and as we were praying and talking about what our churches needed, it became clear that we both needed a liturgical opener. This song has been such a blessing to our church, we hope it blesses you as well.” – Michael Monroe, Canyon Hills Worship

An acronym for “Based On A Truth Story,” BOATS transports listeners to a utopia of Malcolm’s own creation. On an introspective island where the truth of God’s Word meets our humanity, the concept record explores tales of brokenness and subsequent redemption that have shaped the hip-hop leader’s own story. The imaginative 16-track collection washes ashore with spiritual workout and Top 10 single “Cardio,” pulsating, wilderness playbook “40” and the aforementioned autobiographical selection “Nothing Into Something.” BOATS marks Malcolm’s fourth full-length studio project.
“BOATS will take listeners on a journey to Away — an oasis built for the chosen and run by the redeemed,” the hitmaker shares of the vision behind the LP. “Imagine a place where you become what it is you long to become. Imagine a place where your gift makes a way. Imagine a place where its beauty reflects the ones who protect it and its foundation is held together by the stories of the broken. Welcome to Away.”
Leading up to today’s release, the Dove Award nominee has been helming the “Dropping Anchor Tour,” giving fans in select cities an early glimpse into BOATS. Earlier this month, fans and industry partners were treated to first listens at Atlanta’s Culture Lab and New York’s S’Aimer NYC, where Malcolm hosted free listening parties. The Michigan native is set to cap his run of celebratory gatherings tonight (2/23) in his hometown of Grand Rapids at Studio COR3.

“‘My Story’ was written by the Open Heaven songwriting team, including Alexis Keesee, Zach Traylor, Amy Freudiger, and Erik Parise. It was birthed out of several stories of lives changed.
Amy Freudiger shares, “In our church services we were hearing all of these stories from our congregation of people getting set free from drug addiction, miraculously surviving a head-on collision, healed from cancer, saved from suicide, suddenly blessed with new business opportunities, and so many more. These things are continuing to happen week after week! When we wrote this song, it was to try and express what Jesus has done in our lives and in the lives of others.”

Matthew 11:4-5 says, “Jesus replied, ‘Go back and report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.’”
“We have experienced His goodness, and it has forever changed the story of our lives. It’s personal and it’s real!” says Amy.
