Brandon Lake has announced a new collaboration with Lainey Wilson, unveiling the song "The Jesus I Know Now" for release on Good Friday. In his announcement, Lake said the doors opening in his career are ultimately about sharing the Gospel and reaching more people with truth, framing the duet as a "Kingdom collaboration" aimed at listeners who may have carried the wrong picture of Jesus.
Lake described the song as one rooted in grace, saying it is for "anyone who's ever had the wrong picture of Jesus" and emphasizing that Jesus is "especially fond of the misfits." The message positions the track as an outreach-minded release, tying together Lake's worship background with Wilson's broad country audience.
The pairing is a notable crossover moment. Lake's official channels describe him as a Grammy-winning worship artist and songwriter from Charleston, South Carolina, while Wilson's official biography identifies her as a Grammy-winning country star and CMA/ACM Entertainer of the Year with multiple No. 1 hits and major collaborations already to her name.
The collaboration also fits the widening reach of faith-centered music into mainstream spaces. Lake's recent public messaging has centered on evangelism and calling people toward Jesus, while Wilson has already shown comfort engaging spiritually themed material in her catalog. That makes "The Jesus I Know Now" more than a one-off feature; it lands as a strategic bridge between worship and country audiences just ahead of Easter weekend.
