Ryan Stevenson declares unshakeable faith in new song 'This I Know'

Press release

Following seven No. 1 radio hits, a Grammy nomination, and a Dove Award, acclaimed singer-songwriter Ryan Stevenson has released his deeply personal new single, “This I Know.” The song was co-written by Stevenson, Brian Fowler and Micah Kuiper, with production by Fowler and Kuiper for Man Cub. Listen to "This I Know."

Inspired by Psalm 46 (“God is our refuge and strength; a very present help in times of trouble"), the song explores the tension of trusting in God’s goodness while navigating a world that often feels uncertain and unfair. Rather than rushing past hard questions, “This I Know” sits in the discomfort and chooses trust anyway. At its core, it reminds listeners that faith isn’t denying reality; it’s anchoring yourself in God’s unchanging character when everything else feels unsteady.

“Even when the story doesn’t make sense, God’s character hasn’t changed,” Stevenson said. “The same hands that allow the storm are the hands that hold us through it.”

With soaring melodies and raw vulnerability, the track is poised to resonate with anyone facing doubt, disappointment or unexpected turns, while offering a steady reminder that God remains our refuge in every season.

In addition, this year marks the 10th anniversary of Stevenson's hit song, “Eye of the Storm,” celebrating a decade of impact since its original release. Featuring GabeReal (Gabe Patillo), the song quickly resonated with audiences worldwide and achieved significant chart success across Christian radio. Over the years, it has continued to inspire listeners through its message of unwavering faith in life’s most challenging moments.

To honor GabeReal’s role in the record-breaking song and its lasting legacy, several special initiatives are planned throughout the year, including a heartfelt new rendition performed by Stevenson and Patillo’s children, bringing a fresh, multigenerational perspective to the beloved classic.
