Danny Gokey has a real-world example of what happens when you plant the seed of God’s word “in the right soil.”
“The coolest thing happened,” he said in an Instagram video. “I was on my front porch. Every year, my wife decorates our front porch with pumpkins. This year, she decided to do fake pumpkins.”
Gokey explained that they decided on fake pumpkins after the ones from last year “completely rotted through.”
While cleaning them up, Gokey recalled, “I pushed the pumpkin over the side [of the porch]. Now, look what’s happened from the seed of that. We have pumpkins growing over here.”

The singer then showed large pumpkins, growing in his yard.
“It reminds me of the scriptures of how the Bible says the word is like a seed and when it’s planted on good soil, it produces so much fruit,” Gokey said. “God is sowing the word everywhere, but people who have hard hearts, they don’t produce any fruit.”
He continued, “When you tremble at the word of God, and I know this from experience — if you follow Christ long enough, and you apply His word in your heart…you start producing fruit like that.”
“I want to encourage you today: taste, and see that the Lord is good,” Gokey concluded. “The seed will always do its work in the right soil.”
Gokey has been hard at work, releasing new singles. One of his latest, “Jesus Over Everything,” sees the singer looking at life’s ups and downs, and knowing faith is the one thing that lasts.
“The applause fades, accomplishments pass, and recognition is fleeting, but Jesus remains,” he said in a statement about the song.
He also sings on “Rey De Gloria” with Aline Barros, who wrote on Instagram, “The time has come to worship the King of Glory together. A song that reminds us that, even though everything around us changes, Jesus remains King forever.”
In another post, Barros wrote, “Days pass. Seasons change. Landscapes transform.But the King of Glory remains the same: yesterday, today, and forever. May this song strengthen your faith and remind your heart that there is a Kingdom that will never be shaken.”
Whether it’s through his music or social media posts of his daily life, Gokey is sharing his faith and encouraging others in their relationship with Christ.
