As artists join the popular "10 years ago" reflection trend, Micah Tyler is looking back on a season that marked a major turning point in both his career and personal life. The Texas native recalls 2016 as a whirlwind year that followed the signing of his very first record deal at the end of 2015-a season he describes as "bonkers" for him and his family.
That year, Tyler released "Never Been a Moment," a song that would become a defining breakthrough, resonating deeply with listeners through its testimony of God's constant presence in every circumstance. The single helped establish Tyler as a fresh and relatable voice in contemporary Christian music and laid the foundation for a ministry centered on hope, authenticity, and everyday faith.
2016 also brought Tyler to stages across the country, including touring alongside his longtime friend Phil Wickham. The season introduced him to thousands of fans through concerts, church events, and travel that allowed him to personally connect with audiences who were discovering his music for the first time.
Looking back nearly a decade later, Tyler frames the memories not simply as career milestones, but as evidence of God's enduring faithfulness. What began as a year of rapid opportunity and change has become, in hindsight, a testimony to God's steady guidance through growth, uncertainty, and blessing.
Now several years and multiple projects later, Tyler continues to point listeners to the same truth that carried him through that formative season: God has never left, never failed, and has been present in every moment since.
