"I Just Want to Be a Good Man prizes humility and understanding over shame and scolding: The church should serve the people rather than the other way around. Sadly, Champion died in December 2021, leaving behind this humble album as his final testament. It's not perfect, but it's all we have from him. In that regard, it sounds like a small miracle".

"This lone album testifies to Champion's musical and ministerial gifts. He sings and speaks plainly yet passionately and poetically about the love and strength God adds to his life. He relates without judgment these possibilities for others journeying through this deeply troubled world, rendering I Just Want to Be a Good Man an outsider gospel masterpiece".

"I Just Want To Be A Good Man is a sparse yet beautiful collection of tunes, recorded live to a two-track Nagra reel-to-reel in 2018, and led by vocalist/guitarist Pastor Champion, who passed away in December 2021. Songs like "He'll Make A Way (Trust In The Lord)" are testament to the fact that Champion was both a dynamic performer and a rock-solid gospel songwriter".
