He said further that "the process mirrors in many ways the seasons we must all go through in life, as God shapes and moulds us into hit-for-purpose vessels that can carry his presence and reflect his glory. The songs are as varied as the amazing gifts of those who wrote, arranged, performed and produced them. In truth, it is the plethora of circumstances we go through in life's walk that enables us to witness the many facets of God's awesome nature ranging from His mercy, grace, provision and power. For undeniably, it is in Him we live and have our being".


The album boasts of 16 tracks which are Stumbled, Get Ready, I Still Believe, Change, Fight, God of My Praise, Champion, among other great songs. One of the tracks on the album, Fight featured international gospel star, Chevelle Franklyn.
