This Guy Could’ve Been a Country Music STAR. Here’s what changed…| Ben Fuller

Granger Smith Podcast Episode 290: Welcome back to the podcast! This week singer-songwriter Ben Fuller shares his powerful journey from a broken upbringing in Vermont to finding redemption in Jesus Christ. Raised on a dairy farm without faith, Ben turns to alcohol and drugs to cope with deep emotional wounds. After losing his best friend to an overdose, he pursues music and moves to Nashville, where early success at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge deepens his struggles. Everything changes when a family invites him to church, leading to a radical encounter with Jesus in 2019. Ben is baptized and immediately leaves behind his addictions and old lifestyle. Since then, his music and life center on proclaiming the Gospel. He tours with major Christian artists, finds accountability through a Christ-centered community, and commits to regular Bible reading and prayer. In their conversation, Granger encourages Ben to stay rooted in Scripture, reminding him that storms will come but Christ remains steady. Ben now lives with the simple prayer: "Here I am, Lord. Send me," faithfully using his voice — and his life — to point others to Jesus. 03:06 – Country boy from Vermont 09:00 – getting a terrible phone call 14:29 – Going to Nashville, thinking I am in control 32:29 – coming out of the water like a freight train 33:37 – never been the same since Jesus 39:16 – God surrounded me with the people I needed 41:06 - 1 John 2:17 42:57 – …to get out of the way and let The Holy Spirit to the work 50:36 – Come to me all ye who are weary and I will give you rest 01:10:25 – the importance of planning through Scriptures.
