The God who parted the Red Sea? The God who brought Lazarus back from the dead? The God who helped David slay Goliath? That’s the same God who’s actively moving and working on our behalf today, and that’s exactly what Sean Curran explores on his single, “Same Jesus.”

The fist-pumping original fires up fellow believers with its confident declarations of faith set against a backdrop of anthemic pop. “Age after age, Your redemption song still plays. Age after age, You’re the One who makes a way, always,” Curran sings. “Where there’s water, You can part it. Where there’s fire, You can walk right through. New giants, same Jesus. There’s no stopping You.”
Matthew 19:26 affirms this truth when Jesus said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” On Curran’s faith-elevating selection, he addresses the anxiety-inducing state of the world today, while also reminding listeners that every generation has had its share of trouble. We aren’t the first to encounter giants, and we won’t be the last. However, Curran promises that our God is strong enough to defeat any Goliath we might be up against. And if you need proof, he contends, look no further than the Scriptures that offer story after story of people who, when met with insurmountable odds experienced the miraculous power of an invincible, living God.
“Same Jesus” serves as the lead single from Curran’s full-length debut, “Basic Faith,” which officially introduces his emotive, unvarnished voice and nuanced, contemplative pop to listeners. As the former lead singer of Christian rock collective Bellarive, Curran signed his first record deal at just 22. “Basic Faith” opens a fresh chapter for the father of two as he embarks on a solo career.
The “1,000 Names” singer regularly leads worship at Atlanta’s Passion City Church — founded by Louie and Shelley Giglio — and has been an integral part of the annual Passion Conference in recent years. In addition to co-writing significant songs for Passion, like “Glorious Day” and “He Who Is To Come,” Curran has also penned selections recorded by Phil Wickham and Matt Maher, among others. He’s set to open for Pat Barrett on the “Beautiful Life Tour” this fall.
