Conner Smith Talks New Album, Leaving His Record Deal & Leaning On God In His Darkest Moment
from Make It To Midnight · host J.P. Hovey
This was one of my favorite episodes I have ever been a part of at any capacity. I already loved Conner’s music beforehand but after getting to know him it hits that much harder. The last year has been one of the toughest for the country music star and he’s very vulnerable and open about his mindset and how he was able to process everything. We also get to hear about the writing process behind some of his favorite songs off of the new album and the intricate places he drew inspiration from. Conner is an amazing guy, who makes amazing music, while shining light on an amazing God. I hope you guys enjoy this episode and I hope it helped you make it to midnight! 0:00 Intro 3:00 LLWS stardom 10:25 His manager was 14 when he met him 15:25 Building his management team 18:00 How his goals have matured 21:11 Writing Callin While I Can & Never Be Gone 28:19 Story behind Aint Got Enough Faith 32:00 What he learned in isolation after the accident 37:14 The decision to leave his record label 43:30 Finding peace in uncertainty 45:40 Conner’s love for Eric Church 51:30 What it means to truly follow God 59:10 A key to peaceful confidence 1:05:40 Where Conner finds joy 1:15:00 Importance of community 1:17:50 Make It Midnight moment w/ /Dylan Marlow 1:21:00 Fan Questions!
