Mark Schultz
by Ashley Timberlake, WNZR News & Service Director
Singer/ Songwriter, Mark Schultz is coming out with a new album Come Alive on August 25th. Mark grew up in Colby, Kansas. While in high school, Mark was involved in track and football, but it was clear, his musical talent was his strength. He attended Kansas State University and graduated with a Marketing degree. He then moved to Nashville, Tennessee and became a youth pastor at First Presbyterian Church. While working at First Presbyterian Church, he started writing songs about his congregation. Mark preformed in concert at his church on a weekly basis, which drew more people into the church. In 2000, Mark signed with Myrrh Records and released his self-titled debut album. He has released four albums and has been nominated for a number of Dove Awards. Mark won his first Dove Award in 2006 when his CD/DVD Mark Schultz Live: A Night of Stories & Songs was named Long Form Music Video of the Year.
His new Come Alive album consists of songs of hope, loss, joy, and redemption. Mark says, “I would hope that when people listen to this CD they can identify with the struggles within the songs, but at the same time know that God is the same God through the struggles as He is during the triumphant moments." Mark is will be touring this fall with Point of Grace, promoting his new album.
