Amy Grant joins host Stephen Kallao

Early in her career, Amy Grant was a fixture on the Christian Pop Charts, scoring a #1 hit with “Baby, Baby”. On her latest album, The Me That Remains, she reflects on her younger self, and who she’s grown to be. Grant joins us to talk about her first album of original material in over a decade and reigniting her passion to record in studio in the wake of a serious bike accident.
