Summary

MercyMe lead singer, Bart Millard, grew up fearing his abusive father, but everything changed when his dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. After losing his father to the disease, Bart struggled with grief and questions about Heaven that eventually inspired him to write the hit song “I Can Only Imagine.”

Listen as Bart shares the remarkable story behind the song, how his band MercyMe formed, and how God has guided him through life's challenges. You'll also hear about a personal encounter with Billy Graham that Bart will never forget.
