While some of the biggest names \u2013 Chris Tomlin, <a href=\"http:\/\/guideposts.org\/inspiring-entertainment-positive-living\/a-new-sound-in-christian-rock\">MercyMe<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/guideposts.org\/positive-living-0\/tobymac-on-bringing-soul-back-to-christian-music\">tobyMac<\/a> \u2013 were born and bred in the good ol&#8217; Bible Belt of the South, Redman began his career across the pond, in his hometown of Chorleywood, England. <\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">The sleepy little suburb an hour north of London is where Redman was first introduced to faith, courtesy of a tragic event in his childhood. When the singer was 7, his father died suddenly. It wasn\u2019t until years later that Redman learned his dad had actually committed suicide. <\/p>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ada4f91 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\"

questions,\u201d Redman told Guideposts.org. \u201c\u2019Why did he do that? Was I not enough? Did I have anything to do with that?\u2019 I don\u2019t have a lot of memories of him to be honest, but I do mark that as moment when I started to think about God a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">A young Redman would walk himself to church every Sunday, even on those days when the rest of his family chose to stay at home. Years after his father\u2019s passing, Redman\u2019s mother remarried, but her new husband abused the family\u2019s trust and Redman found himself turning to the church, his faith and music more than ever to make sense of the struggles in his life. <\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">\u201cThings got very dark there in my teenage years,\u201d Redman said, \u201cbut again, by the Grace of God, I decided to trust Him and trust that He was in control. Even though I couldn\u2019t understand anything He was doing, just trusting that He was watching over me. I think I can trace a lot of what I do now, the songwriting and all of it, to those key moments.\u201d <\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">Redman would be the first to admit, he never set out to be a Christian recording artist. What began as a young boy just leading worship services in his local church soon morphed into gigs on the road, record deals, Grammy awards, Dove nominations and has now culminated with his fourth -live studio album, <em>Unbroken Praise<\/em>, recorded at the storied Abbey Road Studios in London. <\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">To hear Redman describe the experience of sharing the space with the legends that have come before him \u2013 The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Queen all have a place on those walls \u2013 is to hear the dreams of that 7-year-old boy, who never missed a Sunday service, coming true. <\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">\u201cIt was brilliant,\u201d Redman said. \u201cYou see that studio from the outside and people have their photo taken on the crosswalk or write their name on the wall, but when you go inside, it\u2019s not just a nostalgic, souvenir kind of place. It was very welcoming and it just felt really special. We filled that place with about 350 worshipers and a load of friends and just had church.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">There\u2019s something quintessentially British about Redman. Perhaps it\u2019s his accent \u2013 which makes him instantly likable \u2013 or the way he compares songwriting to brewing a cup of tea. Whatever it is, it\u2019s gained him legions of fans and quite a few friends in the industry, some of which Redman recruited on his latest record.<span style=\"line-height: 1.38;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">\u201cThat\u2019s what friends are for,\u201d Redman joked when asked about collaborating with people like Tomlin, David Crowder and Jonas Myrn. \u201cIt\u2019s interesting, so many of the people that I look up to are actually my friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">\u201cFor the first time on this record I got to write something with <a href=\"http:\/\/guideposts.org\/positive-living-0\/crowders-new-season-of-music\">David Crowder<\/a> who I\u2019ve known for probably 15 years, so I think that those friendships all show up in those songs. It\u2019s a beautiful thing to kind of lean into each other\u2019s gifts. That whole proverb of iron sharpening iron, that\u2019s really what happens. You sharpen each other as creative people and as disciples of Jesus so you can\u2019t really go wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/guideposts.org\/positive-living-0\/crowders-new-season-of-music\">READ MORE: CROWDER&#8217;S NEW SEASON OF MUSIC <\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">The theme of this latest album is one that is entirely relevant to Redman\u2019s own journey through life. <\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">\u201cOne of the things I speak to on the album is just trusting God with your whole life,\u201d Redman said. \u201cThe single, \u201cIt Is Well With My Soul,\u201d is just about the storms of life. [Saying] \u2018God I\u2019m going to lean into You. God, I\u2019m going to trust You are who You say You are, and I\u2019m going to worship You.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">\u201c&#8217;Songs In The Night\u2019\u201d too is a similar theme. In the daylight, anyone can sing a song. When everything is going great in your life, it\u2019s a lot easier to bring a song of worship, but can you still sing to God in the dark times?. I think of it like an evergreen tree. The time when you find out whether a tree\u2019s evergreen or not is in the winter. The way you find out what kind of worshiper you are is in the storms of life.\u201d <\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">Having weathered quite a few storms in his own life, Redman\u2019s ready to continue sharing his faith with others, something he\u2019ll do this August when he joins Louie Giglio, Max Lucado and Chris Tomlin for their Worship Night in America tour. The singer also recently played a song off of his new album at the historic Albert Hall in London.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">The track, \u201cThe Father\u2019s Song,\u201d centers on the birth of the artist\u2019s first child and his own experiences growing up without a father. <\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">\u201cI\u2019ve never really felt fatherless,\u201d Redman said. \u201cI lost my dad when I was 7, things didn\u2019t go too good after that with the guy who replaced him, but I\u2019ve never really felt fatherless. And it talks about that in the song. It talks about God being a Father. It\u2019s really about how we can sing songs to God, but the song that overwhelms all of them and precedes all of them is His song over us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">When Redman isn\u2019t on the road, playing for thousands of fans or lending his name and talents to those big events, he\u2019s happy to have his hands full at home, raising his five children with his wife Beth. <\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">\u201cThere\u2019s never a boring moment,\u201d Redman said. \u201cIf one of my kids ever comes to me and says \u2018I\u2019m bored\u2019 I say \u2018That\u2019s not possible. Including your mum and me there are seven people in this house, you cannot be bored.\u2019 But honestly, I think it\u2019s just a learning process of how to be a parent. I think about in Scripture when it talks about how God\u2019s slow to anger and quick to show compassion. I\u2019ve sometimes caught myself being the opposite, quick to be angry with my kids or not very quick to be compassionate and I want to be more like my Father in Heaven. I want them to see His heart through my actions.\u201d <\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">And while his own children are certainly old enough to realize the impact their dad has in the Christian music world, they don\u2019t mind teasing him about it either. <\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;\">.\u201dA couple of my kids are quite cheeky and whenever they want to get my attention, instead of calling me dad they\u2019ll call me Matt Redman.
