   I Can Only Imagine 2 with Bart Millard

   Bart Millard opens up about the deeply personal journey behind bringing his family’s story to life—first through the unexpected success of I Can Only Imagine, and now through a sequel that explores his son’s battle with diabetes and the healing it sparked in their relationship. As he reflects on the power of vulnerability, the rise of his son Sam Wesley’s music career, and the message behind his and Shannon’s new book Even If, Bart reminds us that God often does His greatest work in the middle of our hardest seasons. Through music, film, and honest storytelling, he continues to point others toward hope, resilience, and a faith that endures. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4aDZy3Y Takeaways: Bart Millard's journey into filmmaking was unexpected but fulfilling. The film 'I Can Only Imagine' was inspired by personal stories. Storytelling is a way to bring hope to others. Creating the film was a therapeutic experience for Bart. Bart's relationship with his son has deepened through their shared experiences. The book 'Even If' offers a deeper perspective on their story. Shannon Millard's contributions to the book were significant. The flower chair symbolizes Bart's struggles with depression. The upcoming tour is titled 'Wonder And All' and features new music. The hymn 'It Is Well' has a profound impact on Bart's life and music. Sound bites:"Don't ever let your hurt go in vain." "He's really, really talented." "I would change it to make it well."

Published 30 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] You're my brother. You're my sister. You're not my competition. I just was so interested in building bridges rather than, oh, man, how do we move our attendance up 10% from last year? How long were you there? I was there 10 years. Okay. Is that where you met your wife? That is where I met my wife. Yeah. Can I hear that story? Shut up. Sure. Without telling too much of her story, she came to faith later in life, but encountered Jesus through some pretty remarkable things that happened in her family. As a result of that, her mom started a homeless ministry that is still active today, caring for hundreds of men and women every week. […]
