Austin French grew up in church, but for a long time he despised Christians. It seemed religion was all about pretending your life was perfect, and Austin’s life was anything but that. Living with an abusive father, he learned to hide his bruises and put on a smile. He swore when he was old enough, he would run as far as his cynicism would take him. But an encounter with Jesus at 13 changed Austin’s heart, and he committed to using his musical talents to telling people about Him. After appearing on national television shows like The Voice and Rising Star, Austin has become a successful singer and songwriter with songs like “Freedom Hymn,” “Born Again,” and “Jesus Can.”
