Luke Smallbone, one half of the brother duo for King & Country, joins the show fresh off a full year away from touring. Brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone have been awarded four Grammy Awards, multiple GMA Dove Awards, a Billboard Music Award, and 16 K-LOVE Fan Awards, with their 11 No. 1 songs producing well over 2 billion career streams. Recent hits include "God Only Knows," an 11-week Platinum smash, alongside "For God Is With Us" and "joy."
In this conversation, Luke gets honest about why the industry's obsession with "busy" nearly cost him his marriage and his faith, walks through where his songs actually come from (hint: it's rarely a writing room), and unpacks the research behind his new single "The Most Beautiful Colors" - a song about heaven, built on interviews with people who clinically died and came back. He also opens up about co-writing with his wife Courtney, the surprise feature from Jessica Simpson, and what he'd say to anyone who feels like they're in a season with no beautiful colors in sight.
