History Makers with Matt Prater

Ben Fuller is one of Christian music’s most compelling voices, combining country influences, heartfelt songwriting, and an unmistakable story of redemption. Raised on his family’s dairy farm in Southern Vermont, Ben’s life was transformed after an encounter with Jesus in 2018 set him free from addiction and gave him a new purpose: sharing the hope and freedom he found in Christ through music. Since then, Ben’s personal testimony has become the heartbeat behind a rapidly growing career. His breakout single, 'Who I Am,' reached No. 1 on multiple Christian radio charts, while 'If I Got Jesus' has surpassed 136 million streams and generated more than 1.9 billion short-form video views. Both songs were certified RIAA Gold in 2026. Ben has also collaborated with country superstar Carrie Underwood on 'If It Was Up to Me,' which they performed together at the 2025 Dove Awards. Steve Mckenna caught up with Ben, listen in to his story

Daniel Hagen is an Australian worship leader, songwriter, and recording artist whose career has been shaped by a deep commitment to his faith. Before entering Christian music, Daniel fronted Australian rock band The Hollow and was on the verge of signing a major record deal.

Drawing on his rock background, Daniel's music combines passionate worship with anthemic energy and bold faith.
