Reception
Critical response
Joshua Andre of 365 Days of Inspiring Media gave a positive review of "Good God Almighty", describing the song as "a 3 minute fusion between worship, rock and southern gospel- a marriage of genres that wouldn't normally work. But this is Crowder– and he's never been one to shy away from music experimentation. The result is a track that is forever etched into our memories… for the right reasons."[9]
