Jon Reddick opens up with Crosswalk Talk's Michael Foust about how he nearly walked away from music – and the unexpected moment God used to pull him back in. He shares the deeply personal story behind his No. 1 hit “No Fear,” including how fear, perfectionism and his wife’s battle with cancer reshaped both the meaning of the song and his faith. Reddick also reflects on a remarkable turning point involving Sheryl Crow, his life as a worship leader and how God meets us in the middle of unfinished journeys.
