Some songs feel like they were written in a sanctuary, but others feel like they were born around a kitchen table — where laughter, stories, and the presence of God blend together in a way that feels almost sacred. Taste and See, the new collaboration from Bryan Fowler and Matt Maher, carries that exact warmth. Their Instagram reel shows the two of them cooking, joking, and talking about how the song came from a simple desire to remind people that God’s goodness isn’t theoretical — it’s something you can actually experience. Bryan’s production instincts and Matt’s unmistakable worship voice create a song that feels like an invitation to slow down, breathe, and recognize the ways God has already been showing up in your life.
The heart of the song echoes a truth many believers forget in the rush of daily life: God doesn’t just want to be known intellectually — He wants to be experienced. There’s a difference between hearing that God is good and actually tasting that goodness for yourself. That theme mirrors the depth of Psalm 34:8, where the psalmist invites us to “taste and see that the Lord is good.” It’s not a command; it’s an invitation. A gentle reminder that God’s presence is not distant or abstract but close enough to touch, close enough to change the atmosphere of an ordinary day. Bryan and Matt capture that beautifully, blending joy and reverence in a way that feels both familiar and fresh.
There’s also a sense of rediscovery woven through the melody — the realization that God’s goodness often shows up in the small, overlooked moments. A conversation that lifts your spirit. A meal shared with someone who understands you. A quiet moment where you feel peace for the first time in weeks. That truth reflects the heart of Psalm 119:103, where the writer describes God’s words as sweeter than honey. Not because life is perfect, but because God’s presence brings a sweetness that circumstances can’t take away. Taste and See becomes a reminder that faith isn’t just about endurance — it’s about delight.
And beneath it all is the steady truth that God meets us in the ordinary. Matt Maher has always written songs that turn simple moments into sacred ones, and Bryan Fowler has a gift for producing music that feels both grounded and transcendent. Together, they’ve created a song that reminds listeners that God’s goodness is not something you have to chase — it’s something you can encounter right where you are. It echoes the promise of Psalm 16:11, where the psalmist declares that in God’s presence there is fullness of joy. Not partial joy. Not temporary joy. Fullness.
Let this song be a reminder to slow down long enough to notice the ways God has been caring for you. Let it soften the places where you’ve grown numb, lift the heaviness you’ve been carrying, and awaken gratitude in the parts of your heart that have felt tired. Maybe this is the moment to pause, breathe, and recognize that God has been closer than you realized — offering peace, comfort, and goodness in ways you may have overlooked. Now is the time to open your heart again and experience the sweetness of His presence.
