For KING & COUNTRY’s Luke Smallbone on Faith, Family, and the Vital Message of ‘Unsung Hero’ Crossmap Podcast
-
- Christianity
The definition of an unsung hero is one who does great deeds but receives little or no recognition for them. In the sports arena, it is a player that no one is expecting to score the winning touchdown, make the winning shot, or lead the team to victory. In the arts and entertainment world, an unsung hero is someone who makes all the necessary arrangements to ensure that a concert or theatrical performance goes off without a hitch. This person may not capture the hearts and imaginations of the audience, but their steadying influence on the production pushes it to a higher level. In the life of a family, an unsung hero often serves as the backbone of the home and provides a quiet, consistent influence to ensure that each member not only survives day to day life but thrives to their fullest potential. For KING & COUNTRY’S Luke Smallbone has achieved great heights of fame and popularity as a featured member of one of today’s most successful contemporary Christian musical groups. With 13 Dove Awards and 4 Grammy Awards to their credit, Smallbone believes that none of this would have been possible without God’s steadying hand and an unsung hero … his mother. Smallbone joins us on the Crossmap Podcast this week to discuss a new movie about his family’s struggles upon their arrival in America from Australia and the effort to rebuild lives that seemed to have fallen to tatters. It’s called Unsung Hero, and showcases a mother’s faith to stand against all odds and inspire her husband and children to hold onto their faith in the grimmest of circumstances. Smallbone joins us on the Crossmap Podcast to talk about what fueled his family’s resilience to be patient with the idea of packing up their entire lives and coming to America. Listen as he shares about how his life might be different today if his parents hadn’t made the bold, God-infused decision to leave everything behind to build a better tomorrow for their family.
