The Story Behind “Champion”

“The inspiration for ‘Champion’ came from a conversation with friends about identity, what the Father has done for us and our awareness of that. This song is personal, not just for me, but for anyone who’s ever felt the pressure to measure up or has felt lesser than. We all, at some point in our lives, walk through a season of insecurity and doubt in what the Lord has already spoken. Even when we know what He says, it seems unfair for a good God to still esteem and give power to those who were once sinners. Once we understand His Lordship and Kingship, we realize just how powerful we are as joint heirs with Christ. We didn’t work for it. We didn’t earn it. It’s just simply our inheritance. Once a generation knows that, everything changes. My hope is that more than a public display of revival, this song sparks personal revival and awakening in everyone who hears it,” he adds. “I hope people step into their identity, fully knowing who they are and Who they belong to.” —Dante Bowe
