Months after its release, “Where I Find God” remains relevant, prompting discussions far beyond the realm of music. For Stevie Lee Woods, the song’s lasting impact has become one of the most rewarding chapters of his career. Not because of chart positions or streaming numbers, but because of the personal stories listeners continue to share.
Living in a world where many seem to live constantly under the pressure of notification icons and never-ending headlines, Woods believes the song has connected with audiences because it encourages something increasingly rare: reflection.
“Where I Find God,” initially penned by Larry Fleet and later covered by Woods, was released with a straightforward lesson. The song argues against looking to spectacular events for significance; instead, life’s biggest revelations can often come from the most mundane events.
When a Song Becomes a Conversation
While some songs become popular for a short time and then fade away, Woods has had a different experience altogether. Following the release of “Where I Find God,” he received emails and messages from listeners expressing that the song made them realize the need to appreciate their daily blessings and to renew their faith.
“Over the past few months, people send me their stories,” Woods admits. “It’s amazing to hear their stories and how they realized faith through certain experiences they went through. That is what I feel I’ve gained most from this experience.”
Finding Meaning in the Everyday
Perhaps one reason for the song’s popularity is that it does not make anything too complicated in conveying its message. Unlike Stevie Lee Woods, who associates faith with neither a particular place nor a specific time, faith manifests itself in simple life events that may go unnoticed by many. A rising sun. The giggles of a child. The rustling of the leaves. The night sky adorned with thousands of stars.
The process of recording the song made him notice such small details. “As a result of this recording project, my point of view has changed completely,” says Woods. “Everything around you turns into something amazing.”
This point of view has become crucial for him from both artistic and personal perspectives. Tired of following all the latest trends in pop culture, Woods started appreciating music that reflects life experiences and feelings.
A Career Built on Connection
The further response to “Where I Find God” occurs during a particularly important time in Woods’ life since he has just been inducted into the North America Country Music Association International Hall of Fame as a member of the 2026 class. It is an accolade for all his work in country music. Even though this is an achievement in his career, Woods himself continues to focus on the bond he can create through his songs right now.
This particular bond becomes more evident in public performances of “Where I Find God.” As per Woods’ own observation, fans react differently to the song, making the space around them feel unique. Some fans hum along, some raise their hands, while others cry, yet they all seem to share this special moment.
More Than a Single
However, the music that continues to survive tends to do so for a reason, and for Stevie Lee Woods, his “Where I Find God” seems to have done just that.
Even months after its launch, people are still discussing themes such as gratitude, perception, and spirituality, not through any big statement made, but just through subtle reminders. In a world that moves so fast, this message seems to find its listenership. And perhaps that is the greatest achievement for Stevie Lee Woods.
