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.  Show Notes  Resources:  Amy Grant's Website  Similar Episodes:  Truth-telling, Anger, and Race: Vince Gill  “Does This Make My Butt Look Big?”: Ashley Cleveland  Fighting Dragons and Singing at Loss: Drew Holcomb  Actor and Activist: Martin Sheen  Transcript  Want more NSE?

is that it resists the usual partisan scripts. Mike brings on economists, historians, journalists,

and other thinkers to look at issues from multiple angles. One day he might unpack the dynamics
