Christian met Conner Smith via a DM and a friendship began. Conner grew up loving two things: baseball and songwriting. He's relatively new on the country music scene — he just wrapped a tour with Thomas Rhett and Parker McCollum — and earlier this week he performed at the Grand Ole Opry. He tells us being on tour was challenging physically, mentally and spiritually, but it also grew him more than he's ever experienced, and having a seasoned artist like Rhett to watch and learn from was a blessing. Conner challenges us that we can't be half-in and half-out for God and that the best place to be is as close to the Lord as possible and NOT as close to sinning as possible without sinning. And when you doubt where the Lord has brought you in your life, NEVER doubt His trust in you and His care for you!
