John Chisum, founder of Nashville Christian Songwriters, says that in spite of a successful career as music business executive and songwriter . . .   “At age 58 my life fell apart. I found myself struggling to connect with God, myself, my loved ones, and with meaningful ministry and work. It all just came to a grinding halt. I was hitting rock bottom in almost every area of my life. I fell into a darkness I had never known before.   “That was the toughest year of my life, but little did I know that it was all a set up for something much bigger: a new me that was much braver, much bolder, much more fearless and internally successful than ever before.   “I want to share what I’ve learned these last few years. I want to share how changing my perspective on faith, God, and myself has allowed me to flourish like never before.”
