There’s something wonderfully genuine about Jon Reddick. His music has the sound of someone who isn’t trying to manufacture a worship moment—he’s simply sharing what he has discovered about God along the way. With a soulful voice, an unmistakable Southern warmth, and songs that often feel like personal conversations with the Lord, Jon has carved out a special place in contemporary Christian music.
Jon’s journey as an artist and worship leader has been shaped by a desire to point people toward Jesus rather than toward himself. That comes through in the way he writes and sings. His songs can be celebratory and full of energy, but they can also slow down and remind us of something we sometimes forget: God is present in the middle of ordinary days, difficult seasons, unanswered questions, and everything in between.
Perhaps the best example is “God Turned It Around,” the song that introduced Jon to a much larger audience. Written from a deeply personal place, the song became an anthem of hope for people who had experienced circumstances they couldn’t fix on their own. There’s a beautiful simplicity to its message—God can take the situations that seem hopeless and write a different ending. Jon doesn’t sing that message like a distant observer. He sings it like someone who has lived it.
And that may be what makes Jon Reddick’s music resonate so strongly. There’s testimony behind the melody. There’s worship behind the words. And there’s an invitation for all of us to look at our own stories and remember that the chapter we’re living right now isn’t necessarily the final one. Sometimes the biggest miracles begin in places that don’t look very promising at first.
At FishWorship, that’s the kind of story we love to celebrate. Jon Reddick reminds us that worship isn’t reserved for the mountaintops. Sometimes it comes from the valley, sometimes from the waiting room, and sometimes from looking back and realizing that God was working long before we could see what He was doing. His music gives us another reason to turn up the volume, sing along, and trust that God is still writing the story.

🎬Featured Video: “God, Turn It Around”
Jon Reddick featuring Matt Maher
Some songs arrive at just the right moment. “God, Turn It Around” is one of those songs. Jon Reddick takes a simple but powerful prayer—asking God to change a situation that seems beyond our control—and turns it into an anthem that is remarkably easy to sing along with. When Matt Maher joins him, the song takes on an even bigger worship feel, but the heart of it never gets complicated: God is still able to turn things around.
What makes this song especially meaningful is that Jon didn’t write it as some abstract statement of optimism. There is a testimony behind it. The song grew out of a season when Jon and his family were walking through circumstances they couldn’t fix themselves, and that experience became the foundation for a song about trusting God with the outcome. That’s part of what you hear in Jon’s delivery. It doesn’t sound like he’s merely telling us that God can turn things around—he sounds like he’s reminding himself of it, too.
And then there’s that chorus. “God, turn it around” is the kind of phrase that can become a personal prayer almost immediately. You can sing it for yourself, for your family, for a friend, for a situation at work, or for something you’ve been carrying for years. Sometimes worship doesn’t require a complicated theological explanation. Sometimes it is simply taking what is weighing on your heart and putting it into God’s hands.
That’s why “God, Turn It Around” is such a fitting Featured Video for Jon Reddick here at FishWorship. It captures the hopeful, soulful, worship-centered sound that makes Jon’s music special while giving us a song with a message that reaches far beyond the music itself. So turn it up—and if there’s something in your life that needs turning around, maybe this song can become your prayer, too.

🎵Essential Songs
“God, Turn It Around”
Apple Music subscribers: Sign in above to hear the full song.
“God, Turn It Around” is the song that feels like the perfect introduction to Jon Reddick. It began as a prayer from Jon’s own heart, asking God to move in situations that seem impossible to change. There’s something wonderfully direct about that idea: when we’ve reached the point where we don’t know what else to do, we can still pray, “God, turn it around.”
The beauty of the song is in its simplicity. Jon doesn’t try to explain every difficult circumstance or promise that everything will work out exactly the way we want. Instead, he points us toward the One who is bigger than whatever we’re facing. That repeated prayer becomes an anthem of hope—a reminder that even when we can’t see what God is doing, we can trust that He is still at work.
The version featuring Matt Maher gives the song an even bigger worship atmosphere. Their voices work beautifully together, transforming what began as a personal prayer into something that feels made for a room full of people singing together. And that’s one of the things Jon does so well: he takes an honest expression of faith and gives all of us words to make it our own.
There may be no better example of why “God, Turn It Around” has become so closely connected with Jon Reddick. It’s hopeful without pretending life is easy, worshipful without being complicated, and personal enough that almost anyone can find a piece of their own story in it. Sometimes all we can do is ask God to turn things around—and sometimes that simple prayer is exactly where worship begins.

“I Believe It (The Life of Jesus)”
Apple Music subscribers: Sign in above to hear the full song.
“I Believe It (The Life of Jesus)” feels like Jon Reddick taking everything he believes about Jesus and putting it into one joyful, declarative song. Rather than focusing on just one moment in Christ’s story, Jon walks us through the big picture—the life, death, resurrection, and continuing presence of Jesus—and responds with the simplest statement of faith imaginable: “I believe it.” There’s something powerful about taking a complicated world and answering it with an uncomplicated confidence in who Jesus is.
Musically, the song has the kind of energy that makes you want to sing along before you’ve even heard the whole thing. Jon’s soulful vocals give it plenty of personality, while the worship-oriented arrangement keeps the focus on the words. It feels less like listening to someone tell you what to believe and more like joining Jon in a celebration of what he already believes with his whole heart.
And that makes the song particularly fun to experience. “I Believe It” isn’t a quiet, reflective worship song; it’s a declaration. Jesus came. Jesus lived. Jesus died for us. Jesus rose again. And because of that, everything changes. Jon doesn’t overcomplicate the message. He simply celebrates the truth of the Gospel and invites us to sing it right along with him.
For FishWorship, “I Believe It (The Life of Jesus)” is a wonderful example of another side of Jon Reddick. If “God, Turn It Around” is a prayer we sing when we’re waiting for God to move, “I Believe It” is the celebration that comes from knowing exactly who we’re trusting. It’s joyful, confident, and full of the kind of infectious faith that makes you want to hit replay.

“You Keep Hope Alive”
Apple Music subscribers: Sign in above to hear the full song.
“You Keep Hope Alive” is one of those songs that seems to know exactly what we need to hear when life doesn’t look the way we hoped it would. Jon Reddick co-wrote the song with Ethan Hulse and David Leonard, and the result is a powerful reminder that our circumstances don’t get the final word. Even when the road ahead is uncertain, God remains faithful—and He is the One who keeps hope alive.
The song became especially meaningful through Jon’s connection with Mandisa, who recorded it with Jon for her 2017 album Out of the Dark. Hearing the two voices together gives the song a beautiful sense of shared testimony. There’s a warmth and encouragement in the way they sing it that makes the message feel personal rather than distant. This isn’t hope as a vague feeling that things might get better; it’s hope rooted in the character and faithfulness of God.
One of the things that makes “You Keep Hope Alive” work so well is the way it acknowledges the reality of difficult seasons without allowing those seasons to define the story. There are moments when we may not understand what God is doing, and there may be prayers that seem to go unanswered. But Jon’s message is that God’s presence hasn’t disappeared simply because the circumstances haven’t changed yet. Hope can survive the waiting because its source is greater than the situation.
That message makes “You Keep Hope Alive” a natural fit alongside Jon Reddick’s other songs on FishWorship. His music often meets us right where we are—sometimes asking God to turn things around, sometimes declaring our faith in Jesus, and sometimes simply reminding us that we still have reason to hope. This song does that last one beautifully. When everything around you says it’s time to give up, Jon Reddick reminds us that God hasn’t finished writing the story.

“Glory and Majesty”
Apple Music subscribers: Sign in above to hear the full song.
“Glory and Majesty” takes us straight into the worshipful side of Jon Reddick’s music. While some of Jon’s songs feel like personal prayers spoken in the middle of everyday life, this one simply turns our attention upward. The focus isn’t on what we’re going through or what we need God to do next. It’s on who God is—and on giving Him the glory and honor that belong to Him.
There’s a beautiful simplicity to that approach. Worship doesn’t always have to begin with a request. Sometimes it begins with recognizing the greatness of the One we’re worshiping. “Glory and Majesty” gives Jon room to do exactly that, building its message around the character and greatness of God and creating the kind of atmosphere that feels right at home in both personal worship and a congregation singing together.
Jon’s soulful vocal style adds warmth to what could otherwise be a very traditional worship declaration. There’s a sense of reverence in the song, but it never feels distant or formal. Instead, Jon brings the listener into the moment and encourages us to respond with our own praise. It’s worship that feels heartfelt rather than performed.
“Glory and Majesty” also gives us a glimpse into the foundation underneath Jon Reddick’s music. Before the breakthrough songs, the big stages, and the stories people came to know him for, there was—and continues to be—a worship leader whose desire is to point people toward Jesus. Sometimes the best songs are the ones that simply remind us where our eyes belong, and this is one of those songs.

“The Power of Your Name”
Apple Music subscribers: Sign in above to hear the full song.
“The Power of Your Name” is a beautiful reminder that there is something powerful about simply calling on the name of Jesus. Jon Reddick takes that idea and turns it into a worship song that feels both personal and congregational, focusing our attention on the name that Christians have called upon for generations—in moments of celebration, in moments of desperation, and everywhere in between.
The song carries a sense of confidence without becoming boastful. Jon isn’t singing about the power of human effort or trying to convince us that we can fix everything ourselves. Instead, the focus stays on Jesus and what His name represents: hope, salvation, peace, strength, and the assurance that we are never facing life alone. It’s the kind of message that can mean something different depending on what you’re walking through when you hear it.
Jon’s collaboration with Matt Redman adds another layer to the song’s worship character. Their shared connection to congregational worship gives “The Power of Your Name” a natural sing-along quality, while Jon’s soulful delivery keeps it grounded in the warmth and personality that have become part of his musical identity. It feels like a song designed not simply to be heard, but to be sung.
And that’s really where the song finds its heart. There are times when we don’t have the right words, don’t know what to pray, or simply need to remember where our confidence comes from. “The Power of Your Name” gives us a simple place to start: Jesus. Sometimes one name really is enough.
🐟
“Don’t Fight Alone”
Apple Music subscribers: Sign in above to hear the full song.
“Don’t Fight Alone” is the kind of song that feels like a friend pulling up a chair beside you and saying, “You don’t have to go through this by yourself.” Jon Reddick has a gift for taking big spiritual truths and putting them into words that feel incredibly personal, and this song is a beautiful example. Its message is simple: whatever battle you’re facing, God is with you, and you don’t have to carry the weight of it alone.
What makes the song especially meaningful is that it doesn’t pretend the battle isn’t real. Life can be exhausting. There are seasons when the prayers seem to take a long time to answer and the road ahead isn’t easy to see. “Don’t Fight Alone” meets us in that reality and points us toward the presence of God. The encouragement isn’t simply to try harder or somehow find more strength within ourselves. It’s an invitation to lean into the One who is already standing with us.
Jon’s warm, soulful delivery gives the song an intimate quality. Even when the music builds, the heart of the song remains that personal reminder that someone is there. It feels like the musical equivalent of encouragement from a brother in Christ—something you might hear on a difficult day and realize you needed to hear exactly then.
That’s another reason “Don’t Fight Alone” fits so naturally into Jon Reddick’s catalog. His songs repeatedly point us toward hope, but they do it from different angles. Sometimes we’re asking God to turn a situation around. Sometimes we’re declaring what we believe about Jesus. And sometimes, as with this song, we’re simply being reminded that we don’t have to face the battle by ourselves. Whatever today looks like, there’s Someone beside you.

“No Fear”
Apple Music subscribers: Sign in above to hear the full song.
“No Fear” carries a message that feels especially natural for Jon Reddick: we don’t have to let fear have the final word. Rather than pretending that difficult circumstances aren’t frightening, the song points us toward the God who is greater than whatever we’re facing. It’s a declaration of trust—a reminder that when our confidence is placed in God, fear doesn’t have to determine how we move forward.
There’s something encouraging about the way Jon approaches that idea. Faith doesn’t mean we’ll never feel afraid. It means we don’t have to face those fears alone or allow them to control us. “No Fear” turns that truth into an uplifting worship anthem, giving listeners something they can sing when they need to remind themselves where their confidence belongs.
As the title track of Jon’s 2025 album No Fear, the song also represents an important chapter in his musical journey. By this point, Jon had already become known for songs centered on hope, faith, and God’s ability to change our circumstances. “No Fear” continues that thread while looking forward, encouraging us to live with the confidence that comes from knowing who is holding our future.
And that’s what makes “No Fear” such a fitting Jon Reddick song. It isn’t about pretending life will always be easy. It’s about knowing that whatever comes next, God will be there. When fear starts getting loud, Jon gives us a different message to sing: we know who our God is, we know He is with us, and we don’t have to walk into tomorrow afraid.

“The Way”
Apple Music subscribers: Sign in above to hear the full song.
“The Way” is a beautiful expression of the confidence that comes from knowing exactly where our hope is found. At its heart, the song points us toward Jesus—not simply as someone who shows us the way, but as the Way itself. Jon Reddick takes that familiar truth from the Gospel of John and turns it into a worshipful reminder that when life feels uncertain, we don’t have to figure everything out on our own.
There’s a reassuring quality to the song’s message. We all have seasons when the road ahead seems unclear, when decisions are difficult, or when we wonder where the next step will take us. “The Way” brings the focus back to Jesus. We may not know every detail of the journey, but we can know the One we’re following. That is a wonderfully freeing thought—and one that Jon delivers with the warmth and sincerity that have become such a big part of his music.
Musically, “The Way” fits naturally alongside Jon’s other songs of faith and encouragement. It carries that soulful worship character that makes his music feel personal while still inviting us to sing along. Rather than simply telling us that everything will be easy, the song offers something much more meaningful: the assurance that we don’t have to walk the journey alone.
“The Way” is another reminder of why Jon Reddick’s music connects so naturally with the heart of FishWorship. His songs have a way of meeting us wherever we happen to be and turning our attention back toward Jesus. Sometimes we need God to turn something around. Sometimes we need to declare what we believe. And sometimes we simply need to remember that even when we can’t see the road ahead, we know the One who is leading us.

“Holding On (Praise God)”
Apple Music subscribers: Sign in above to hear the full song.
“Holding On (Praise God)” feels like a song for those seasons when faith isn’t about having everything figured out—it’s about simply refusing to let go. Jon Reddick brings that idea to life with a message that is both honest and encouraging. Sometimes we praise God because everything is going wonderfully, and sometimes we praise Him because we’re still standing, still believing, and still holding on.
There’s something especially powerful about that distinction. Faith doesn’t require us to pretend that difficult days aren’t difficult. There can be unanswered questions, unexpected turns, and moments when we wonder how much longer the waiting will last. “Holding On (Praise God)” meets us right there and reminds us that perseverance itself can become an act of worship. We keep trusting. We keep praying. We keep praising.
The song also carries the familiar Jon Reddick combination of soulful vocals and an uplifting worship sound. Even with a message rooted in perseverance, it doesn’t feel defeated. There’s a sense of forward motion throughout the song, as though Jon is reminding us that whatever we’re walking through today isn’t the end of the story. God remains faithful, and there is still reason to lift our voices.
That makes “Holding On (Praise God)” a fitting addition to Jon’s growing collection of songs about faith in the middle of real life. It isn’t a song about having all the answers. It’s about having Someone to hold onto when the answers haven’t come yet. And sometimes, that’s exactly the encouragement we need: keep holding on, keep trusting, and—yes—keep praising God.

“King of Heaven”
Apple Music subscribers: Sign in above to hear the full song.
“King of Heaven” turns our attention toward the majesty of God and gives Jon Reddick another opportunity to do what he does so naturally: lead us into worship. The title says it all. This is a song that looks beyond our circumstances and lifts our eyes toward the One who reigns above them. There’s something powerful about stepping back from everything happening around us and simply remembering who God is.
The song carries a sense of reverence, but Jon’s soulful approach keeps that worship from feeling distant. His voice brings warmth and humanity to the declaration, making “King of Heaven” feel less like a formal statement and more like a heartfelt response to the greatness of God. It’s the kind of song that can work equally well as personal worship with headphones on or as a larger declaration shared by a room full of believers.
There’s also something refreshing about a song that doesn’t need to begin with what we want God to do for us. Instead, “King of Heaven” begins with God Himself. Before we ask for the breakthrough, before we ask Him to turn things around, before we bring Him our worries, we can simply praise Him for who He is. Sometimes that shift in perspective is exactly what our hearts need.
“King of Heaven” fits beautifully into Jon Reddick’s catalog because it connects with the larger thread running through so much of his music: hope begins with knowing the One in whom we’re placing our hope. When the world feels uncertain, God hasn’t changed. He is still worthy of our worship, still worthy of our trust, and still the King of Heaven.

💿Essential Albums
God, Turn It Around
Apple Music subscribers: Sign in above to hear the full album.
Jon Reddick’s God, Turn It Around feels like more than an introduction to a new recording artist—it feels like an introduction to a worship leader’s heart. Released in 2022, the album brings together songs centered on faith, hope, perseverance, and the goodness of God. It’s a collection that doesn’t shy away from the reality that life can be difficult, but it consistently points beyond those circumstances toward the One who remains faithful.
Of course, the title track is at the heart of the album. “God, Turn It Around” became Jon’s signature song, but the album gives us a much bigger picture of the songwriter behind it. Songs such as “I Believe It (The Life of Jesus),” “You Keep Hope Alive,” “The Power of Your Name,” and “Don’t Fight Alone” each approach faith from a different direction. Some are declarations, some feel like prayers, and others sound like encouragement from a friend—but together they create a remarkably cohesive collection.
What makes the album particularly enjoyable is the balance between personal faith and congregational worship. Jon has the ability to take something deeply personal and turn it into something that belongs to everyone. You can listen to these songs quietly by yourself and find encouragement in them, or imagine a church full of people singing the same words together. That combination is a big part of what makes Jon’s music feel so accessible.
And perhaps that’s the best way to approach God, Turn It Around: don’t listen to it expecting every song to give you an answer. Instead, let the album remind you where to take the questions. When you need hope, when you need courage, when you need a reminder of who Jesus is, Jon Reddick has put together a collection of songs that keeps pointing in the same direction—back toward God.

No Fear
Apple Music subscribers: Sign in above to hear the full album.
Jon Reddick’s No Fear feels like the sound of an artist stepping confidently into the next chapter of his journey. Released in 2025, the album continues the themes that have become central to Jon’s music—faith, hope, trust, and the confidence that comes from knowing God is with us. But there’s also a sense of forward movement here. This isn’t an album about pretending life doesn’t come with challenges; it’s about facing those challenges with a different perspective.
The title track, “No Fear,” captures that idea beautifully. Fear may be a very real part of our lives, but it doesn’t have to be the thing that defines us. Throughout the album, Jon continues to point listeners toward a faith that can stand firm when circumstances are uncertain. His soulful vocals and worship-centered songwriting give the songs a warmth that makes these big spiritual truths feel personal and approachable.
What makes No Fear especially interesting is the way it builds on the foundation Jon established with God, Turn It Around. That earlier album gave us songs about asking God to intervene, holding onto hope, and trusting Him in difficult circumstances. No Fear feels like a natural continuation of that journey: the circumstances may still be there, but our confidence doesn’t have to depend on them. We can move forward because we know who walks with us.
There’s plenty here for both personal listening and worship, but perhaps the greatest strength of No Fear is its encouragement. Jon Reddick doesn’t offer some unrealistic promise that tomorrow will never be difficult. Instead, he keeps pointing us toward the God who is bigger than whatever tomorrow brings. Sometimes faith means asking God to turn things around. Sometimes it means holding on. And sometimes it means taking the next step without fear. No Fear gives us a soundtrack for that journey.
