Widening the Picture: Sean Rodriguez Follows Rock Radio Breakthrough with Expansive “Just Like God” EP
Sean Rodriguez has released his new EP, Just Like God, through WieRok Records, following his chart-topping rock radio breakthrough with “It Is Finished” featuring Disciple. Rather than trying to recreate the success of that hard-hitting, rap-influenced rock anthem—which spent 10 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Christian Music Weekly’s Rock chart and remained in the Top 20 for 32 weeks—Rodriguez used the momentum to show listeners another side of his music. The three-track project surrounds his January single “Just Like God” with two previously unreleased songs, “God Is On My Side” and “The Day He Made,” all reflecting a more accessible Christian AC and contemporary Christian direction. The distinction was intentional, as Rodriguez and his team launched an extended Christian AC radio campaign behind the single, introducing him to programmers outside the rock format. Approximately six months later, “Just Like God” had earned rotation on 20 stations nationwide and peaked at No. 51 on Mediabase.
The EP’s focus track, “God Is On My Side,” takes a simple declaration and surrounds it with circumstances that make the declaration matter—hills too big to climb, waves rising, lions waiting, and Goliath standing in the way. Rodriguez’s answer is not that those obstacles are imaginary or insignificant; instead, he points repeatedly toward the character of God. “Who spoke the storms to peace? Who has the healing hand?” he asks, before turning the perspective outward: “What’s your mountain? Watch Him move it. What’s your challenge? Watch Him use it.” The song became a set-list staple throughout Rodriguez’s extensive 2026 touring season and developed into a crowd favorite at Christian festivals around the country. The EP’s other new track, “The Day He Made,” has opened his shows, inspired by Psalm 118:24 and the realization that waking up to another day is itself something worth celebrating. Both songs reunite Rodriguez with GRAMMY and Dove Award-winning producer Seth Mosley and mixer Michael “X” O’Connor, continuing the creative team established on “Just Like God.”
There is a notable reversal in how these songs have reached listeners: normally, a song is written, recorded, and released before an artist discovers whether it works live, but for much of Just Like God, the live audience came first. Festival crowds have already heard “The Day He Made” open the show and responded to “God Is On My Side,” and the September 25 release now gives those songs a permanent recorded home. Viewed together, these developments make Just Like God something more useful than a stylistic pivot—it helps fill in the picture. “It Is Finished” remains an important part of Rodriguez’s identity, showing how naturally his energetic performance style and rap-influenced delivery could work within Christian rock. But his ambitions were never limited to reproducing that one sound. There is a throughline connecting all his work: conviction. The production may change, the radio format may change, but Rodriguez remains most recognizable when the song gives him something he can say without reservation. On Just Like God, that conviction is distilled into three straightforward ideas: God remains faithful, another day is worth celebrating, and an impossible circumstance does not get the final word. After several years of increasingly larger stages and wider radio exposure, Rodriguez is not narrowing his identity around the sound that first broke through—he is widening it.
