“Grace became this real tangible thing…not just something I heard about, but something I actually experienced.” – David Leonard

This week on Rewrite, Jonathan Unthank, Music Director at The Light FM, sits down with David Leonard. You may know him from songs like Good Lord or Light a Fire, but in this conversation David opens up about his walk with Jesus—how grace became real to him in community and how faith is more than a single moment, it’s a lifelong journey.

David shares how becoming a dad deepened his understanding of God’s love, why he wants his songs to always be rooted in truth, and how he’s learning to let God lead instead of striving on his own.

Takeaways

1. Faith isn’t a one-time decision—it’s a daily journey of trusting Jesus.
2. God’s grace is more than a concept; it’s meant to be experienced in community and lived out.
3. Becoming a parent can give us a glimpse of the Father’s heart and unconditional love.
