Welcome back to The Main Thing Podcast! I’m your host Skip Lineberg. This is a special episode. It’s the next in our mini-series “Wisdom Revisited,” where we are reconnecting with a few of our most popular guests from Seasons 1 and 2. We will revisit those guests and revisit their wisdom, their main thing. What will we find? Has it remained the primary driving force in their life? Or has something new taken that place of prominence in their heart and mind?

Here in this special 20-minute episode, we are joined by Jason Gray, a singer, musician and songwriter, who shares his talent and artistry across the Contemporary Christian music space.

“Jason Gray has emerged as a songwriter of extraordinary depth, with a noteworthy ability to convey deep theological truths,” according to Charisma Magazine. Jason has earned two ASCAP Performance Awards for his hit songs and also holds the distinction of having a #1 ranked song that stayed atop the charts for 9 weeks. His latest album, released in 2020, is titled “Order, Disorder, Reorder.” Originally from Minnesota, Jason now resides in Nashville.

Listen and discover how Jason Gray has applied - and perhaps evolved - his Main Thing wisdom.
