Walker Hayes on The Day Everything Changed

On this week’s Rewrite, Jonathan talks with country-pop artist Walker Hayes about how Jesus completely changed his life. You might know Walker from hits all over the radio, but today he opens up about something far bigger than music: what it’s been like to become a brand-new follower of Jesus after years of doubt, addiction, loss, and trying to hold life together on his own. Walker shares how the Lord met him in the middle of deep brokenness, what sobriety looks like 10 years in, and how being a five-year-old believer has filled him with childlike wonder he never expected. He talks about writing songs from a new perspective, how his family is navigating life on the road, and why he’s learning to “go with the Lord’s flow” instead of forcing his own plans. Whether you love his music, have walked through hard seasons, or are praying for someone you care about to meet Jesus — this conversation will encourage you.
