🕊️ Love as a Spirit-led Revolution

What if the most radical thing you could do today… was love someone who’s hard to love?

Josh Wilson’s “Revolutionary” isn’t just a song—it’s a summons. A call to flip the script on how we respond to division, pain, and misunderstanding. Written in the lead-up to one of the most polarizing years in recent history, Josh didn’t set out to write a political anthem. He set out to write a Kingdom one. And that’s exactly what this is.

The lyrics say, “Maybe you’re not like me / Maybe we don’t agree / Maybe that doesn’t mean we’ve got to be enemies.” It’s simple. It’s bold. And it’s deeply needed.

Josh wrote this song with friends James Tealy and Steve Fee, asking a question that cuts through the noise: What if kindness was the most revolutionary act we could offer? In a world that thrives on outrage and labels, this song reminds us that love isn’t weak—it’s warfare. It’s the kind that heals, forgives, and restores.

I’ve lived that tension. There were seasons where I felt written off—by people, by circumstance, even by myself. Times when resentment felt easier than reconciliation. But grace showed up. Not quietly. Boldly. Through unexpected kindness, through people who saw past my worst moment, through a God who never stopped calling me back to purpose.

And I’ve seen this song stir something in others too. In people who’ve been hurt by church, by family, by life. In those who’ve built walls just to survive. “Revolutionary” speaks to that ache—and offers a better way.

Scripture affirms this kind of love: “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” (Romans 12:21) “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” (1 Peter 4:8)

This song isn’t asking us to ignore pain—it’s asking us to respond differently. To judge slow. To love quick. To hand out hope like it’s our calling—because it is.

Josh asks, “Why does kindness seem revolutionary?” Because it’s from a different Kingdom.

So if you’re tired of the noise, the division, the bitterness—let this song be your reset. Let it remind you that love isn’t passive. It’s powerful. And it still changes everything.
