Bart Millard is the lead singer of the legendary Christian rock band MercyMe. The band, founded in 1994, has released eight studio albums and had 13 consecutive top five singles on the Billboard Christian Songs chart.
Millard's life was depicted in the movie "I Can Only Imagine," where actor Dennis Quaid starred as his father who struggled with addiction and violence before coming to faith before his death from cancer.
On today's episode of the podcast, we talk to Bart about pressing pause on touring during the pandemic, having his life depicted in a movie, his love for sports, having athletes be fans of his music and cherishing time with his family during Covid-19.
