Episode Description

What if God gifted you with a song in your dreams? Join us for an inspiring conversation with Chris Blue, a remarkable musician and church leader, whose journey of faith and music is intertwined with divine inspiration. Chris shares a profound experience where a song came to him in a dream, an event he describes as a spiritual download from heaven. Growing up as the youngest of seven in a devoutly religious household, Chris's musical and spiritual paths were shaped by gospel music and a family deeply rooted in church life. His early baptism journey, initially undertaken to please others, matured into a genuine understanding of faith, enriched by experiences across various denominations.

Chris opens up about the challenges of navigating the music industry while staying true to one's faith. Reflecting on his upbringing with a prayerful grandmother, he reveals how these early influences provided a "secret sauce" that sustained him during his time on a reality TV show. The conversation highlights the importance of maintaining core beliefs and a connection to God, distinguishing between being in the music industry and not of it. Chris emphasizes that true fulfillment lies in understanding one's deeper purpose beyond fame or wealth, offering insights into how faith can be a guiding force amid the industry's volatility.

Discover Chris's mission to unite a divided world through music, inspired by his family's enduring commitment to togetherness. Influenced by legends like Sam Cooke and Prince, Chris's unique sound is a blend of diverse musical styles, reflecting his rich tapestry of influences. He introduces the concept of "warship," a powerful form of worship through music that battles darkness with faith. Additionally, we explore Faithly, an online community empowering church leaders to grow their ministries.
