CP: When did you start seeking God through your music?
Shust: I made a decision to ask Jesus into my heart when I was just four, though I remember thinking when I was nine that I did not fully realize what my decision meant and that I was just reiterating the words of others. When I was 13, I was watching a video of a live Michael W. Smith concert, and I remember thinking to myself “that’s what I want to do.” I had been singing in the church since I was three, I was taking piano lessons, music was my extra-curricular activity. I studied music in college, and then moved on into full-time ministry in Atlanta in 2000.
God basically puts the steps before us, and we should be careful to follow.
