#241 – Steven Curtis Chapman

Tommy Riles and Art Eddy talk about the moment they each found out they were going to be fathers. They were inspired by their guest for this week, Christian music artist, Steven Curtis Chapman. Steven Curtis Chapman is a Christian music icon with over 11 million records sold, 58 Dove Awards, 5 Grammys, an American Music Award, and 48 career #1 radio singles. He's been featured on Good Morning America, CNN, MSNBC, CBS Sunday Morning, FOX & Friends, The Today Show, The Tonight Show, and in People, Billboard, Parents magazine, and countless others. He and his wife, Mary Beth and their children live in Franklin, Tennessee. His book, Between Heaven and the Real World: My Story, takes you into Steven's childhood and challenging family dynamic growing up, how that led to music and early days on the road, his wild ride to the top of the charts, his relationship with wife Mary Beth, and the growth of their family through births and adoptions. In addition to inside stories from his days of youth to his notable career, including the background to some of his best-loved songs, readers will walk with Steven down the devastating road of loss after the tragic death of five-year-old daughter Maria. And they'll experience his return to the stage after doubting he could ever sing again. Between Heaven and the Real World: My Story is now available.
