Christian Singer with questioning heart

This article is about Christian singer/songwriter Chris Rice. Usually, I hold most CCM singers in a special category - labeled Christian Sub-Culture. Now I know that not all of the CCM singers are in this "Christian ghetto" but for the most part, most are. I won't take the time to list the exceptions - hopefully you can see them for yourself.

Chris Rice is a special breed. He doesn't fall into the typical "ghetto" category. His songwriting abilities are exceptionally phenomenal. He doesn't write all these "feel - good" songs, but writes songs for those who may be questioning God. For those who are going through a hard time. For those who have lost their way on this journey called discipleship/life.

I was pleased to learn that Rice too has a questioning heart. To me, that makes a world of difference. To know that he struggles with things and is not afraid to write about it. It is refreshing.

Maybe I need to listen to some of his music. It might prove helpful.
