“What an honor,” Joshua exclaimed upon learning that his single would feature in St. Jude commercials over the next three years. “Still Gon’ Trust” topped the Billboard BDS Charts in May 2022, penned by Lucius Hoskins and gospel icon Percy Bady.
Released during the pandemic, the song provided solace and faith, urging listeners to still trust in God during challenging times of financial hardship, loss, and uncertainty. This poignant message will resonate with countless families benefiting from St. Jude’s generosity. “Music truly is a gift,
a beacon of hope and a testament to the belief that things can improve, especially for parents navigating trust amidst struggles. It’s truly a special honor,” Rogers reflected.
