Summary

I love this guy. He wears bright colors and isn’t afraid to be fully transparent, with everything. He’s rare. 3 weeks after Danny’s wife tragically died at age 27, he was thrown into the whirlwind of being a finalist on Season 8 of American Idol, on National TV. His story of finding hope after devastation inspired millions around the globe. But inside, Danny was struggling with anxiety and the looming fear that God was constantly “mad at him.” Danny shares his journey of how he has found an authentic relationship w God that isn’t based on fear. He tells us how he met his wife and mother of his children and their secrets to a successful marriage. Danny gets honest about his new album and talks about some of his most personal lyrics. You’re going to love this one.
