Produced by Christopher Stevens (TobyMac, Crowder), who also co-wrote the song with Stevenson, “Just as You Are” captures a defining moment in Stevenson’s faith journey. Stevenson shared the inspiration behind the song, quoting one of his favorite authors, Brennan Manning: “God loves you, just as you are, not as you should be; because none of us are as we should be.” Stevenson added, “This is the music I’ve wanted to put out for 12 years, and I finally feel the release to do it! Creating music that not only has an amazing feel but also a deep, meaningful message is a joy.” In addition to his musical achievements, Ryan is an author.
