Show Notes
Russell overcomes nerves while welcoming musical artist, songwriter, and overall legend Amy Grant.
Watch this video on Youtube.
Amy Grant and Russell sit down in Charlie Peacock’s home to talk about her first album in over a decade, The Me That Remains (out May 8). The conversation starts with Russell’s admission that Amy’s was his first concert as a middle school youth group student. From there, Grant reflects on the aftermath of a serious bike accident, the strange disorientation of memory loss, and the rediscovery of songwriting in the midst of an ongoing, strenuous tour schedule. Along the way, the conversation turns to the inner critic that follows all of us, the spiritual weight of suffering, the possibility of grace in a fractured world, and the artwork surrounding the record from Nashville artist Wayne Brezinka.
This is a story about legacy, growth, and the healing that comes…somewhere down the road.

More from The Russell Moore Show
Five years after The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill podcast, have American churches learned anything about the dangers of celebrity, power, and spiritual abuse?
What if the most important questions people are asking about Christianity are no longer about whether it's true, but whether it can make sense of their lives?
From the Moore to the Point newsletter: We ought to look around at places without keg parties or ketamine hits and ask where our own sense of solidarity is real and where it’s just another prelude to a coverup.
What would we learn if we listened to the people who have left our churches?
Maybe the way to speak with clarity into a loud and angry age starts with learning when not to speak at all.
