FCM041 – Gift Of Faith with Aaron Shust Oct 06, 2016

Show notes

Aaron Shust had a unique beginning to his career as a CCM artist. He walks us through his journey of first moving away to college, leading worship at a church, writing songs for the church, and how that inadvertently led to him to make his first record. He talks about how the decisions he has made have been from having peace with believing God was calling him to do something, not making a list of pros and cons, and how that ultimately affected his path as a touring artist and a worship leader. Aaron has a lot of experience of needing to deeply rely on God’s provision, and so he has a lot to say about the gift of faith and what that means in his music.
