Mark Schultz was featured on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I rarely blog about contemporary Christian music artists. However, when their music is injected into culture - it's interesting to watch the results. Right now, Mark Schultz is the hottest Google trend. It will last for a few hours, or just one. But when else does a CCM artist make it into Google's rank?
I admire Mark ever since he appeared on the Crosswalk Show — a talk-show outreach my former church team put together. Mark has a way of telling stories with his music, similar to Country styled music. Mark quickly took requests from the audience and made it a personal evening. Amazing piano player and vocalist.
May God continue to strategically place His artists in the world that will influence others for His purposes instead of their own.
