Summary

Even while growing up as a pastor's kid, Grammy-nominated artist Rhett Walker wasn't always living for God. But when Rhett found himself at the age of 17 with a pregnant girlfriend, it was obvious he had to make a change. He had to go from just knowing about God, to actually knowing God. This is an amazing story of redemption, responsibility and revival. In 2012, Rhett's breakout song "When Mercy Found Me" climbed up the Billboard charts and was nominated for a Grammy Award.
