"It was during my years as an executive in the music industry, developing songwriters and music artists, that I discovered my love for, and a unique skill in, recognizing talent and potential in people. I have spent my entire career as a songwriter, music publisher, record company executive, and pastor, training and releasing people into the God-given purpose."
Chris' work in music publishing resulted in songs recorded by such artists as Eddie Rabbitt, Garth Brooks, Whitney Houston, and Amy Grant. As an executive in the record industry, Chris worked with and developed artists Third Day, Clay Crosse, Rich Mullins, Kathy Troccoli, and Unspoken.
"The skill of recognizing potential in others is, to me, a gift from God. Encouraging and helping others to become who God created them to be is so rewarding to me. I am often asked if I miss being in the music industry, and I have to say that I don't, because when I left the music industry to become a pastor, I continued using those same gifts. Development and discipleship are the same process. I'm just using these gifts in a different location. There is no doubt that I will spend the remainder of my days on earth helping people reach their God-given destiny. It is the most gratifying job in the world."
