Hit Songwriting, Worship Leading, and the Passion for People with CCM Artist, Aaron Shust

Over the past decade, Aaron Shust has earned a reputation as one of Christian music's most compelling songwriters and a vocalist of considerable depth and passion. He was named both New Artist and Songwriter of the Year at the 2007 Gospel Music Association Dove Awards and the impact of his song, "My Savior My God" was recognized with the Song of the Year honor. He has continued to build on that early promise to become one of the community's most creative and trusted voices. Shust is well known for such hits as "My Hope is in You," which spent 14 weeks at No. 1, "No One Higher," which hit the summit on the Inspirational chart and "Ever Be," which made its way to No. 3 on the NCA chart. "O Come O Come Emmanuel" has become a perennial holiday favorite, earning acclaim as the most played song each December for 10 years in a row. In this episode, John Chisum connects with the authentic Shust on family, songs, touring, and how to keep life real in the midst of success as a Contemporary Christian Artist and popular worship leader.
