Rich Mullins, He's the writer of the song "Awesome God". Here is a video segment of him speaking in one of his concerts. I find it interesting.

Here is some of the key moments summarized.

Proof Texting is Dangerous 1:27 - 1:52
Watch me for entertainment go to Church to be spiritual 3:00 - 4:12
I don't know how to feel closer to God 4:59 - 8:51

(4:59 - 8:51 has so much in it I don't know how to break it down or summarize it)

Here is the video

He was and is one of my favorite artists across all genres. Never got the chance to see him in person. At the end of a lot of his concerts, he would have the crowd start singing with him, tell them to close their eyes, and walk off stage without any fanfare. He really wanted all the glory to be to God.

Another interesting fact, he had taken a vow of celibacy and a vow of poverty. The royalties from his music went to his home church and they paid him an income in the low to mid $20,000's.
