A CONVERSATION WITH EVAN CRAFT
“ Chances clearly speaks of the gospel for me . From the faithfulness of Christ to loving our neighbors . Redemption is the work of Jesus in our lives . He takes what was dead and breathes life into it . When we think we are too far gone , disqualified , or our mistakes are too great , He steps in . So , if you think you are too far gone , you ’ re not . He is the God of second chances .” — Evan Craft
At MultiTracks . com we got a chance to sit down with Evan Craft and speak with him about his is new album , Chances .
[ MultiTracks . com ] This album celebrates the fact that God gives us second chances ( and third , and fourth etc ). What has he shown you in his Grace recently that inspired you to ancho on this theme ?
[ Evan Craft ] This song is a testimony of my family . We ’ ve been through it . People saw mistakes my parents made and didn ’ t think we had a hope or a future . Thank God He doesn ’ t give up on us . Our lives aren ’ t perfect by any means today , but I ’ ve seen God restore , rebuild , and redeem lives very close to me .
[ MultiTracks . com ] Tell us about how “ Faith Don ’ t Fail Me Now ” harkens back to a prayer you repeated over and over when you were first called to Mexico ?
[ Evan ] When I would drive into Mexico , I remember a mixture of fear and excitement . I was afraid to fail but too invested to turn around . I was trusting God with every fiber of my being and seeing him provide in miraculous ways .
I didn ’ t care if I failed and I remember telling God , “ This was your idea , and you don ’ t fail , so I ’ ll trust you .”
[ MultiTracks . com ] Who were some of the believers that inspired “ Fight On My Knees ” and how did they encourage you in dark seasons ?
[ Evan ] This song was inspired by my pastor .
He was running from God , church , and anything religious . He told me his mom would go into his room at night and anoint him with oil and pray over him declaring he would serve the Lord . Today , he ’ s obviously a pastor , but God has used him in a mighty way . His mom prayed through so many situations that it inspired me to do the same . To declare health , wholeness , redemption , all of the above over my family .
[ MultiTracks . com ] How has God reminded you that He is “ Still Good ” whether on the mountaintop or in the valley ?
[ Evan ] Because God is still God regardless of my day , week , or year . I wrestle with this
