Ben Fuller is one of Christian music's most compelling voices, combining country influences, heartfelt songwriting, and an unmistakable story of redemption. Raised on his family's dairy farm in Southern Vermont, Ben's life was transformed after an encounter with Jesus in 2018 set him free from addiction and gave him a new purpose: sharing the hope and freedom he found in Christ through music.
He played his first show in 2017 at a small bar called Sherry's Place. Soon afterwards, he decided to move to Nashville to pursue a career as a singer and songwriter. An early single "Spark," which he wrote about dairy farmer gained Fuller some radio airplay. Fuller released a few more singles from 2017-2019 which gained him some popularity online. In 2020, he released his first album of 10 songs titled ‘Witness’.
Since 2020, Fuller has had a string of CCM hits including "Who Am I" reached No. 1 on multiple Christian radio charts, "If I Got Jesus" has surpassed 136 million streams and generated more than 1.9 billion short-form video views. Both songs were certified RIAA Gold in 2026. Followed by "Black Sheep" which he impressively performed at the 2026 K-Love Fan Awards show, "Turn", and current airplay hit with Carrie Underwood, "If It Was Up To Me" which they performed together at the 2025 Dove Awards.
Ben has performed at the Grand Ole Opry and CMA Fest and toured alongside some of Christian music's biggest artists. His first major headline tour, The Black Sheep Tour, sold out nearly all 28 cities, establishing Ben as a rising headliner and expanding his reach into major fairs, festivals, and international markets. Through every song and performance, Ben remains committed to sharing the story of a life transformed by Jesus and pointing others toward the hope he has found in Christ.
In this video, Ben Fuller shares the raw story behind the songs we know well: From his attempt to take his own life, to drugs and alcohol as a way to numb emptiness, to the moment an invite to church changed everything. You’ll hear how Ben went from a dairy farm in Vermont to playing bars in Nashville, why hiding in plain sight can be more dangerous than rock bottom, and the exact moment he said, “Jesus, will you help me?”
Tomorrow is midterm election day. As we get closer, it's becoming harder to deny to connection between faith, politics and personal identity - but has it always been this way? The idea that our beliefs shouldn’t impact our politics stems from the lie that there is such a thing as neutrality. But there is no neutrality. Scripture makes this plain.
We cannot leave our Christian beliefs—our biblical worldview—at the door when we engage in politics as a citizen or as a politician. We’re not neutral, and neither is the sphere we’re entering. We’re to seek the good of the nation we’re in and use our influence to be salt and light for such a time as this as we follow Jesus' instructions until He returns. Don’t buy the lie that your religious beliefs don’t matter at the ballot box or in the halls of your state capitol. Everyone has a religion, and it’s folly to pretend otherwise. Christians need to be light and salt in politics.
The following is an informational article from GotQuestions.org.
If there is anything that will spark debate, if not an outright argument, it is a discussion involving politics—even among believers. As followers of Christ, what should be our attitude and our involvement with politics? It has been said that “religion and politics don’t mix.” But is that really true? Can we have political views outside the considerations of our Christian faith? The answer is, no, we cannot. Our faith should inform our political views. The Bible gives us two truths regarding our stance toward politics and government.
The first truth is that the will of God permeates and supersedes every aspect of life. It is God’s will that takes precedence over everything and everyone (Matthew 6:33). God’s plans and purposes are fixed, and His will is inviolable. What He has purposed, He will bring to pass, and no government can thwart His will (Daniel 4:34–35). In fact, it is God who “sets up kings and deposes them” (Daniel 2:21) because “the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes” (Daniel 4:17). An understanding of this truth will help us see that politics is merely a method God uses to accomplish His will. Even though evil men abuse their political power, meaning it for evil, God means it for good, working all things together for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).
Second, government is not the remedy for all our social ills. We are not saved through politics. Only God can save, and He provides the answer to society’s problems. We never read in the New Testament of Jesus or any of the apostles schooling believers on how to reform the pagan world of its idolatrous, immoral, and corrupt practices via the government. The apostles never called for believers to demonstrate civil disobedience to protest the Roman Empire’s unjust laws or brutal schemes. Instead, they preached the gospel and lived in a way that gave evidence of the gospel’s transforming power.
There is no doubt that government is necessary, and our responsibility is to obey the laws and be good citizens (Romans 13:1–2). God has established all authority, and He does so for our benefit, “to commend those who do right” (1 Peter 2:13–15). It is the government’s responsibility to rule—hopefully for our good—to collect taxes, and to keep the peace (see Romans 13:1–8). Good citizenship includes taking seriously our duty to be informed and vote for leaders who promote Christian principles. Where we have a voice, we should exercise the right to vote. Candidates or proposals at odds with the Bible’s teaching on life, family, marriage, or faith should never be supported (see Proverbs 14:34). Those who uphold biblical values should be helped.
Even as we advocate for godly values and vote for principled leaders, we recognize that our hope for morality in the culture does not depend on politicians. A nation’s hope for change is not to be found in any country’s ruling class. People need the Lord.
The government has its purpose, and so does the church. Our primary mission lies not in changing the nation through political reform, but in changing hearts through the Word of God. Our Christian mandate is to spread the gospel of Christ. Yes, we take a stand against the sins of our time, and we advocate for “political” policies that would help curb wickedness. Through it all, we pray that individual hearts are changed by Christ. Only as individuals are transformed through the new birth will the culture begin to reflect godliness.
Believers throughout the ages have lived and even flourished under antagonistic, repressive, pagan governments. This was especially true of the first-century believers who sustained their faith under merciless political regimes that created immense cultural stress. They understood that they were the light of the world and the salt of the earth. They adhered to Paul’s teaching to obey their governing authorities, even to honor, respect, and pray for them (Romans 13:1–8). And they trusted in the protection that only God supplies.
Political entities are not the savior of the world. The salvation for all mankind has been manifested in Jesus Christ. God knew that our world needed saving long before any national government was ever founded. He demonstrated to the world that redemption could not be accomplished through the power of man, economic strength, military might, or politics. Peace of mind, contentment, hope, and joy—and the salvation of mankind—are provided only through Jesus’ death and resurrection. Christians should be voters, and they should be bearers of the gospel.
On this episode of Bigger Than Belief, Adam sits down with Dan Hofrenning, longtime political science professor at St. Olaf College, to examine the role religion plays in American politics, and what happens when political identity begins to rival, or even transcend, religious belief.
With the midterms approaching, this is a conversation about more than candidates and campaigns. It's about the values that shape us, the identities that divide us, and whether faith can help Americans approach politics with a little more humility.
Get out and vote for the midterm election tomorrow, November 3. It’s crucial Christian citizens be informed on the issues, make their voices heard and vote according to their Christian values.
