Updated Jan 15, 2026

Ben Fuller joins Crosswalk Talk's Michael Foust to discuss his new album, Walk Through Fire, and why he says it is his most raw and honest project yet. He opens up about his journey from addiction to faith and how Jesus changed the direction of his life and music. Fuller also shares the God-orchestrated story behind his collaboration with Carrie Underwood on the song “If It Was Up to Me.” He reflects on writing “Black Sheep” for people who feel like they don’t belong and how he hopes the song points listeners to grace. From playing the Grand Ole Opry to celebrating six years of sobriety, this conversation centers on redemption, obedience, and the life-changing power of Jesus.
