"Forty years of messy, crazy, good‑then‑bad‑then‑better experiences, and they are Still Here to share it." -Max Lucado
Everybody knows the music. Everybody knows, as well, their tragedy. But what makes the Chapmans so remarkable-Steven Curtis and Mary Beth-is that the same endurance their relationship embodies can be true of each of ours as well.
Still Here is their take on marriage, on parenting, on the lives we live and the promises we make. The Chapmans' story, like all our stories, is one of total dependence on God's grace and goodness, on His faithfulness and forgiveness, and on His readiness to redeem, in all of us, every outbreak of brokenness.
It's been more than forty years of that now, together, and they're inviting you inside to see it, to feel it-not to show you how it's done, but to show you it can be done. Come along on their journey, and see yourself on your journey, trusting God for His faithful mercies on all our journeys home.
Steven Curtis Chapman is the most awarded artist in Christian music history: sixty Gospel Music Association (GMA) Dove Awards, five Grammy Awards, an American Music Award, and a total of ten certified Gold or Platinum albums, having charted an unprecedented fifty #1 singles.
