A Conversation with Steven Curtis Chapman

Contemporary Christian icon Steven Curtis Chapman stopped by the CCM Cafe and talked to us about the challenges of releasing new music 35 years into his career, getting to be the voice of Baloo the bear, his recent BMI Icon Award, dealing with grief and much more!

Awesome interview! Thank you, Steven, for all of the amazing music. It has literally assisted me on my walk with Jesus as I know it has with so many of people. The new music is as inspirational as ever!

Love when an interviewer / host allows the guest to talk, complete sentences, and tell a story. Well done. 👏

I love that he sings of scripture and us obeying God. And he has a great and unique voice. Great to hear this interview. God and all of us are so proud of you.

When I was deeply sad over the loss of sort of a sister, I opened the Bible to a passage re. Death, so the fear of God made me not grieve so deeply. Take time to be aware of your thought and feelings. Be close to Jesus' heart. Thanks for sharing where your at re. Your daughter. Glad your interviewer was so nice. Thank you so much for the interview. I look forward to hearing the song about God pulling the woman out of grief. Glad God is working through you. Yes it is wonderful when we can put our arm around each other when we are grieving. My big sister put her arm around my shoulder after my Daddy die and it meant so much to me.

Tell SCC that his new songs are amazing! Just as good as The Great Adventure. I must be at the same place in my life that he is because Still and Don't Lose Heart are among my favs!! Keep singing what the Lord puts on your heart!!

Sometime people have compassion and care about people so much and change when you tell them.

What a beautiful interview. Steven, thank you for your devotion to music and for sharing your heart with us. I know your music has made a major impact in my life and in the lives of so many others.❤ God bless you and your family!

We need to cry with each other. Jesus says to do it. It is probably help ful.

lol I was getting ready to type 'great adventure' and then he said it. still one of my favorite musicians. I've gone back to CCM almost exclusively since most of the music is full of garbage messages on mainstream today.

The less you focus on a trauma the less impact it has. Maybe this helps with a criticism. We only need God's approval. God wants to heal us from our pain and he will.
