Shelley Breen (Point of Grace) on Music, Songwriting & Creative Habits
I speak to a wide variety of writers and creatives on the podcast, and today, I’m thrilled to bring you this conversation with one of the members of the highly successful Christian music vocal group, Point of Grace!
Shelley Breen is a founding member of Point of Grace. For over thirty years, they have been touring, songwriting, and recording, encouraging countless people of faith with their music.
Let me share a few items to give you a grasp of their success:
With total sales in excess of 8 million units, the group has garnered two Platinum records; three GRAMMY® nominations; 27 No. 1 singles and numerous Dove Awards. Inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in 2018, Point of Grace has released 10 best-selling studio recordings, four Christmas albums, and such Christian radio standards as “I’ll Be Believing,” “Keep the Candle Burning,” “How You Live (Turn Up the Music),” “Circle of Friends,” and “Jesus Will Still Be There.”
The group founded the groundbreaking Girls of Grace conference; they appear regularly on the historic Grand Ole Opry stage; and they have authored multiple books, including their latest, How You Live: Lessons Learned from Point of Grace.
In this conversation, Shelley shared behind-the-scenes details about their new album, Turn Your Eyes: Songs We Love, Songs You Know. She also talks about her creative habits, how the group chooses songs, how their newest book came together, and several of their upcoming concert appearances.
This was a wide-ranging conversation, and I hope it inspires you to make Point of Grace’s music a regular part of your listening!
I also want to give a huge shout-out to Cindy Morgan, a successful author and recording artist herself. She was a guest a couple of months ago, talking about her new novel, The Year of Jubilee. She produced Point of Grace’s new album, and also made the intro to Dana Cappillino, who set up the interview with Shelley.
