One of our most requested specials is the tribute we’ve aired about the late, great Rich Mullins. You can listen to the show using the player below.
From Rich’s wiki entry: Mullins was best known for his worship songs “Awesome God” and “Step by Step”, both of which have been embraced as modern classics by many Christians. Some of his albums were also considered among Christian music’s best, including Winds of Heaven, Stuff of Earth (1988), The World As Best As I Remember It, Volume One (1991) and A Liturgy, A Legacy, & A Ragamuffin Band (1993). His music has been covered by many artists, including Caedmon’s Call, Five Iron Frenzy, Amy Grant, Carolyn Arends, Jars of Clay, Michael W. Smith, John Tesh, Chris Rice, Rebecca St. James, Hillsong United and Third Day.
Rich Mullins is also remembered for his devotion to the Christian faith. He was heavily influenced by St. Francis of Assisi (1181–1226). In 1997, he composed a musical called Canticle of the Plains, a retelling of the life of St. Francis set in the Old West.

Miss you Rich…you left a big hole in my soul. Stay warm in the clutch of Gods love.
I love Rich. I love hearing this re-broadcast. Rich is one of my favorite song writers. I love his verbal imagery & how his poetic verses touch one’s inner being. <3 U Rich. I'll have a front row seat for your concerts in heaven.
