The Good Stuff: Messages for His Son

What happens when your platform grows faster than your character can hold it… and the thing you dreamed of starts costing you what matters most?

In this episode, Keith chats with Andy Cherry, a seasoned worship leader, songwriter, and current touring musician for Brandon Lake, for a raw conversation on identity, shame and calling. Andy shares his whirlwind early career—signing a record deal in his 20s, walking away to fight for his marriage, and the painful (but formative) season of learning to lead when nobody's clapping.

Then it gets personal: the moment Andy realized he wasn't being motivated by God… but by shame—"like you write yourself a letter and forge God's signature on it."

If you've ever felt disqualified, stuck, or afraid to step out again, this will reset your perspective.

Press play and listen now.

About Your Guest

Andy Cherry is a worship leader, songwriter, and musician who has spent years serving the Church both on stage and behind the scenes. Early in his career, Andy released music and led worship in large gatherings before stepping away from the spotlight to focus on his family and long-term calling.

Over the past decade, he has continued writing and collaborating with artists across the worship community, contributing songs recorded by Brandon Lake, Passion, Josh Baldwin, and others. He has also helped shape projects for fellow worship leaders while quietly building a reputation as a trusted songwriter and creative voice.

Today, Andy serves at Seacoast Church and travels as musical director and acoustic guitarist for Brandon Lake. Known for his heart for authenticity and family, Andy is now releasing new music inspired by fatherhood, including his upcoming project Songs For My Son Vol. 1. His latest single, "The Good Stuff," reflects a season of rediscovering what truly matters in life, faith, and worship.
