Sharing the remastered episode of the interview that Mark Price and I did with Bart Millard. Thank you Mark for allowing me to share our interview with Bart. He is the lead singer of the band MercyMe.
Our guest today is the Lead Singer of the group MercyMe, Bart Millard.
We cover a lot of ground in this episode from hoops to Bart’s favorite songs. Here’s a little more about Bart.

He received a solo Grammy nomination in the category of Best Southern, Country, or Bluegrass Gospel Album for the latter album.
In high school, Millard wanted to become a football player, a dream which ended when he injured both ankles at a high school football game. As a result, Millard took choir as an elective.
Millard was called the Best Male Vocalist by Christianity Today in 2005, for his work on his solo album Hymned No. 1 and for The Christmas Sessions album with his band MercyMe.[8] Millard’s Hymned No. 1 was called the No. 9 best album of the year by Christianity Today in 2005.[9]
