The Bobby Bones Show

This week on The Upload, host Brooke Taylor and co-host Pastor Mark Evans sit down with country artist George Birge for a powerful, honest conversation about faith, surrender, and what it really looks like to trust God’s timing in an industry driven by pressure, comparison, and success.
George opens up about his journey from playing small shows and grinding it out in a country duo to questioning whether he had made the right decision chasing music at all. With vulnerability and clarity, he shares how seasons of waiting, disappointment, and nearly walking away became the very foundation God used to shape his character, strengthen his marriage, and prepare him for success he wasn’t ready to handle at the start.
Throughout the conversation, George reflects on the tension between ambition and surrender, learning to “give up pretending” while staying faithful to the mission. He talks about the refining process that happens below the surface, the unseen work God does in private long before anything rises above the water and why integrity, family, and faith must come before fame.
The episode dives deep into trusting God’s plan, navigating comparison, understanding real versus transactional relationships, and wrestling with temptation in the spotlight. George also shares how building a Christ-centered culture on the road; from praying with his band to prioritizing his role as a husband and father, has given him freedom, peace, and clarity in a demanding season of life.
For anyone struggling with control, anxiety, delayed dreams, or wondering if God is listening, George offers wisdom on praying boldly for the desires of your heart while releasing the outcome to God. His story is a reminder that success will never fill the void, but surrender will and that God’s kindness often shows up in the delays we don’t understand at the time.
🎧 This episode is for anyone in a season of waiting, refining, or learning how to trust God without pretending and discovering peace on the other side of surrender.
