Singer/Songwriter Austin French- From Anti-Christian to Worship Leader (S03E08)

Singer/songwriter Austin French shares his brave story of emerging from an abusive childhood, a poverty stricken home, and church rejection. Struggling with anger towards his abusive father and the church, Austin reflects back on his journey..."I grew up in church, was surrounded by church culture, but I hated Christians for a long time. Our family was the family that pretended to be perfect on Sunday but was falling apart behind closed doors. As an eight-year-old boy, I was living two different lives, expected to be perfect on Sunday and then living in fear at home.” Discussing his book "Jesus Can" Austin takes listeners on a journey that showcases God's redemptive power taking a hardened heart and turning it into a heart of worship and praise. He has written multiple hit songs such as Jesus Can, Why God, Good Feeling, Freedom Hymn, Wake Up Sleeper and more.
