Danny Gokey Won’t Abandon Truth Amid Chaos: ‘Sets People Free’

Singer Danny Gokey wants to be seen as a “truth and love teller,” encouraging fellow believers to be as “wise as serpents and gentle as doves.”

It’s a powerful and important quest in a divided and chaotic culture — one in which biblical truth is sometimes treated with disdain. Regardless, Gokey believes there’s a responsibility to speak about what’s right, true, and good.

“We should never get away from speaking the truth,” Gokey recently told CBN News. “Truth sets people free.”

Ultimately, he said some people will try to skirt what’s biblical, real, and true — but humanity can’t escape the facts and realities surrounding God’s will:

“We can sit there and protest gravity,” Gokey said. “We can make laws against gravity. You can cancel people over saying gravity is real, or that fire is hot. But, the thing is … it is what it is, and we’re not doing any favors playing around and mincing words to make people happy.”

He added, “We need to have the truth that sets people free. So, I do want to speak truth, but I want to do [it] in love, and I just don’t want to hit people on the head with it.”

Gokey is carrying these ideals over to his latest music. His new album, “Sound of Heaven,” seeks to point people toward hope and Christ, with eclectic songs helping listeners dive deeper into the eternal.

“I always pray before I go into an album, because God is the greatest songwriter of all time,” Gokey said. “And, I’m like, ‘Lord, give me some inspiration,’ because I believe, when we get to Heaven, we’re going to see that the sounds of Heaven are so diverse.”

The singer said this variety of sound is captured on the new album, which was released on July 26.

Gokey said he never wants to compromise truth or his calling in whatever he does musically, and he believes this album is a fulfillment of his calling to authentically reach others.

“I want to be so authentic to what God has created me to be,” he said.

It’s an important goal in a music industry that often places money and notoriety over all else.

“If you start chasing money, that becomes the God,” Gokey said, highlighting the dangers of letting money dictate every decision. “And what if God wants to reveal something new in you?”
