This past week, I sat down with one of my all-time favorite singer/songwriters, Steven Curtis Chapman. We discussed Alabama football (or cheerleading), adoption, the challenges of life and the true HOPE we have in Jesus Christ, and we talked about his upcoming brand new album, "Still", available on October 14th.

Steven has spent the last 35 years writing and performing genre-defining songs that shaped a generation. With a staggering 49 Number 1 singles in his catalog, he is the most awarded artist in Christian music history, winning 59 GMA Dove Awards, five GRAMMY Awards, an American Music Award, and selling more than eleven million albums with ten RIAA-Certified Gold or Platinum albums.

In short, Steven Curtis Chapman is synonymous with contemporary Christian music. After so much success, some might think recording a new album would be second nature. But for Steven, starting a new chapter wasn't so easy. The ever-present inner critic whispering "can he do it again?" made the hitmaker question whether making
new music was the right move.

I think you will agree with me that as long as Steven has something to share, we want to hear it. Listen to our Conversation of Hope with Steven Curtis Chapman!

The Main Thing:
For decades Show Hope has shown up for families pre and post adoption. Founded in 2003 by Steven and Mary Beth Chapman, Show Hope continues to be a light for families in the trenches of adoption. With a mission to engage the Church and eliminate barriers for those committing to the adoption process to grow their families, Show Hope has continued to expand opportunities for support. Most recently, their Medical Aid Grant program is helping families navigate a child’s medical needs after adoption finalization takes place. 

We were thrilled when founder, Mary Beth Chapman, and Show Hope’s Executive Director, Emily Chapman Richards, agreed to join us on the podcast to discuss the new Medical Aid Grant program and the incredible work of Show Hope in the lives of adoptive families. It was an honor and privilege to share the mic with two women of incredible faith and passion for adoption. We’re so excited to share this conversation with you!
