Deep Dive: Steven Curtis Chapman's *More To This Life* (Episode 23) - a podcast by CCM in 3D

This week's podcast is part of an entire month of "deep dives," a little something that we are calling "Deep Dive December with the 3D's."

These days, the name Steven Curtis Chapman is associated with multiple Grammy and Dove awards, huge concert tours, and even an autobiography. Ernie Johnson Jr., the studio host of Inside the NBA on TNT once called Steven Curtis Chapman the "Michael Jordan of Christian music."

But before all of the accolades and worldwide acclaim that launched him into a great adventure, Chapman was a simple singer/songwriter hailing from Paducah, Kentucky. After two moderately successful on the Sparrow label, Chapman released his third album, More To This Life, in 1989. The album would generate a great deal of radio airplay, produce one of the most iconic songs for Christian weddings, and pave the way for bigger things to come.

Join the 3D's as they deep dive into Steven Curtis Chapman's More To This Life.

Show note: Toward the end of this podcast, Dan mentions an official CCM in 3D playlist on Spotify. That playlist can be found here.
