In a music career that has spanned more than 35 years, Steven Curtis Chapman is the most awarded artist in Christian music history. His musical resume is quite staggering and highly notable:

• 59 Gospel Music Association (GMA) Dove Awards
• 5 Grammy Awards
• 1 American Music Award
• 49 No. 1 singles
• 11 Million Album Sales
• 10 Gold and Platinum Albums


Yet for all his unbridled success, Chapman found himself struggling while creating his latest album.  Rather than experiencing the confidence that this new music would speak to the hearts of millions, he instead found himself asking the question, “Can I really do this again?" “Do people even really care about my music anymore?"

Despite Chapman’s well earned reputation as an elder statesman and legendary figure in Christian music, he pondered whether this was the end for him. He wondered whether people even wanted to hear anything new from him. And secondly, were they satisfied with listening only to the hits.

Ultimately, Chapman made the decision to just sit down with his guitar and write and record whatever was stirring in his soul. These songs ultimately became his latest album, “Still", a recording that is deeply introspective and revealing of a true artist’s heart.

Chapman joins us on the Crossmap Podcast to talk about why in some ways he recorded “Still" to remember where he has been and where he is going. Listen as he shares what it’s like going from exuberant newcomer to elder statesman in the short span of 35 years. Plus, he details how God can use anybody for His purposes in any season. You need only to be willing.
