Today on the podcast I share with you my chat with singer, songwriter, and worship leader Zach Sprowls.

Zach reached out through our CMB Spotlight submission form, and after I checked out his EP and heard his story, I strongly felt like it should be a podcast interview.

If you're a subscriber and have great music to share with the readers, check out the CMB Spotlight page here.

We talked about the story behind his debut EP Everlasting Arms, how it ties to adoption, and how he produced the entire project for nearly no money at all. It’s pretty inspiring.
