Steven Curtis Chapman is one of my favorite songwriters and musicians in Christian music. There was a time that this wasn't true though. Back in high school, when I got my first CD ever (for Christmas), it was Steven Curtis Chapman Live. A great album but back in high school I was not a fan of him or Christian music. Through college though I realized it was good for me to listen to Christian music. I am thankful for SCC and how he has evolved with CCM and more importantly how he's helped it evolve.
SCC has a great story. A sad, but great story. I got to see him several years ago at the Gwinnett Arena here in town and just loved it. Casting Crowns played that night as well. One thing I remember is SCC talking about adoption and how his family had gone through adoption (more than one). Well, sadly last spring SCC lost a daughter in an accident at home. I don't know about you but the loss of a child would be the most difficult trauma to go through. I really can't say how I would react and how my faith would hold up in that time. SCC has come through this time in his life hopeful and determined to bring that hope to others. What a great example of how to remain faithful to God. Heaven knows he was angry and wrestled with God in the aftermath but he's come out a new man and bringing a new message.
May this video/song bring hope to you.
