What does it take to recognize great talent before the rest of the world sees it? In this conversation, Kurt Luidhardt sits down with legendary music executive, producer, and entrepreneur Michael Blanton, whose career has helped shape Christian music through his work with artists including Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, and Rich Mullins. Michael shares the stories behind Age to Age, “Friends,” “Awesome God,” and Amy Grant’s crossover success with Heart in Motion. He also explains how the same instincts he used to develop artists now help businesses discover their unique value, strengthen their brands, and reach new audiences. The conversation also explores faith, family, changing technology, AI, and Michael’s involvement with the Music Bible, an ambitious project turning Scripture into music verse by verse.

Before we jump in: CJ and I are live on YouTube every Tuesday morning at 11am Eastern teaching the Kingdom Writers Workshop, where we're learning to partner with God in our writing instead of doing it on our own. Every session comes with a free worksheet, and the replays are yours for life. Grab yours at https://trainingauthors.com/kingdomwriters You do not have to do all of it at once. That is the whole episode, and it may be the sentence you needed today. Shelley noticed an author she follows quietly release a leader's guide six months after her book launch, and it reframed something. Endorsements, a lead magnet, a study guide, a relaunch. None of that has to be finished before you publish, and an independently published book can always be edited later. So write yourself a permission slip. Do the most important thing now, let the rest come in layers, and trust God with the outcome.
