Final part of my conversation with worship artist Aaron McClain; how he got connected with Worship Mob (aka Jesus Co.); and the story behind his song “Sure”.

Aaron shares about the family, faith community and leaders that God brought around him to love and disciple him into the man that God was calling him to become. We discuss the whirlwind of life events that led up to the release of his first album, and how God began to restore to him all that the enemy had taken away.
