Summary

Five weeks before her 16th birthday in 1976, Amy Grant was offered her first record deal. Now, after tens of millions of record sales, six Grammy awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a receipt of Kennedy Center Honors, she is widely recognized as the “Queen of Christian Pop.” From the outside, one might assume that Amy must be a character with a personality larger than life. But in this exclusive interview, Amy opens up about her career as a singer, her family life, and her faith, all against the backdrop of a troubling past few years which have included recovering from open-heart surgery and a severe bike accident. Through it all, she showcases what truly makes her an anomaly. In spite of her fame, she remains undoubtedly grounded to a life of quiet, peaceful fulfillment.

0:00.0	Hi, friends, Annie F Downs here. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, or unsure where to
0:05.7	begin when it comes to reading scripture, I want to invite you to read the Gospels with me every
0:10.3	month. That's Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Every day on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast
0:15.8	is an invitation to slow down and spend intentional time with Jesus through Scripture.
0:21.3	I started reading through the Gospels in a month because I kept trying to read the whole Bible
0:25.3	in a year and would find myself getting behind and getting frustrated.
0:28.8	So I asked myself, what if I just started with the Gospels?
0:32.2	And it turns out I kept wanting to read them over and over, and it has changed my life.
0:37.6	If you do three chapters a day for 30 days, you get all four books read in a month, and we've
0:42.4	been doing that on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast for years now.
0:46.7	Every day on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast, we read three chapters, and then I end
0:51.5	with a prayer.
0:52.3	That's it.
0:52.8	It's simple, and each episode is around 15 minutes
0:55.5	of your day. Every month, we read a different version of the four Gospels and in different
1:00.4	order, so you can scroll back and pick your favorite, or you can just hit play on today's
1:04.8	episode and listen along with the version we've chosen for that month. I say it often because
1:10.2	I believe it. You don't have to
1:11.7	be in the Gospels every day to be changed, but every day you're in the Gospels will change you.
1:17.2	Subscribe today to the Let's Read the Gospels podcast and let's spend a month together reading about
1:21.8	Jesus's life and ministry on earth, the friendships, the parables, the sacrifices, the meals,
1:28.2	and the miracles.
