In July 2020, I had exactly the same accident as Amy. Riding my bike fast on the bike path. Hit a pothole. The bike stopped, I didn’t. Landed on my right side on the path. Without the helmet, I’d be dead. Almost passed out but didn’t. Had a tbi. My memory both long and short were gone, cognitions were messed up. Headaches. Etc. took almost 2 years to recover. Like Amy, I simplified my life, learned to live in the moment and be eternally grateful that I survived the accident, am upright and mobile. I was 72 at that time. The docs later told me I was lucky I survived. I guess I had angels watching over me!!!

What a great takeaway: WHAT IS MY VALUE - IF I HAVE NO PURPOSE? God has given you such talent, grace, and beauty my friend, that He continues to use Him, as you point people to GLORIFY CHRIST. Sure we all mess up along the way, no one is perfect, the church is a hospital for sinners who need the Great Physician and healing - may He heal each one of us, until the day He takes us home. You have survived so much and went through so much. None of it is wasted. Ever since I saw you decades ago (both young then) at Knott's Berry Farm, and later Disneyland - you still a teen, I've admired your voice, and enjoyed your songs, it goes without saying you were every single Christian boy's heartthrob. Thanks for all you do, God continue to bless you and yours. A big fan in Arizona.

So grateful to see that Amy was able to host the Christmas show and sing. Hearing her say the phrase “if I have no purpose” brought the tears! When I was 6-12 I used to sing along with her CONVINCED I sounded like her and she was the first person that made me feel that sense of awe. She has always stayed consistent. I will always adore her!

I have been a huge fan of Amy since 1988. Don't ask how I missed her earlier recordings, but I was led to Amy's music by God, after my mom passed at a young age and I was searching for a meaning and comfort in my life, and I went into a record store which I always went there every week, but this time I truly believe that God led me to the amy Grant section and I was not familliar with her music very much at all and I picked up Amy grant in concert vol. 1, and i did not know any songs on the album but i knew in my heart that God wanted me to buy the album and check it out and I did and i Loved what I heard. I bought all the albums of hers that I did not have and the rest is history. Amy is such a huge inspiration to us all. I have seen her 3 times in concert and loved every minute. She does not let success change her, So very down to earth. Yes, Amy is loved!!!

Good to hear about the details of your accident, Amy. Enjoyed your concert in Austin last week. You are still beautiful, and your voice is still strong. My first Christian concert was watching a film of your My Father’s Eyes concert in 1982. I was blown away by the wholesomeness that came through your songs and your chatter. Thanks for the music through all these years, and for continuing to live out your faith well to this day.

Amy Grant makes me wish I could be a Christian like her, and live in Faith the way she does. It will never happen as I gave up on organized religion years ago, but she makes you wonder if maybe it's worth it after all. Her husband Vince Gill wrote the most beautiful song this very quandry that he apparently had, in "When My Amy Prays." Wonderful woman and wonderful song; great little interview here, too. Thanks for posting.

I understand what she is going through. 5 years ago I had my first stroke. Two TIAs later that same year, and last year, an AIS stroke. I struggled to remember names of friends, and sometimes still catch myself doubting if I am remembering a name correctly. I have trouble remembering words I WANT to say...they are RIGHT THERE...but I can't get them! I was listening to some of her songs earlier I used to listen to all the time as a kid, and had to listen several times because I was having difficulty with the lyrics I had once absolutely had committed to memory. It's difficult when music is your entire salvation and life.

She also had open-heart surgery in 2020. The woman has been through it the last few years! I just saw her a few nights ago in concert, though, and I can report she looks and sounds as good as she ever did. Such a beautiful soul - her music has gotten me through some dark times, and I feel blessed that she and I have been on the planet at the same time.

Oh my god you are such an inspiration. Tennessee Christmas is one of my favourite songs for the life of me I can't remember the lyrics and I always stuff up. At the moment I can't remember the title to the song Oh How the years go by or something I can manage to remember the words one of my favourite songs. My mother calls herself a Christian whatever that is? And I'd love to record and sing Carry You for her. God willing it may eventuate.

Amy has had to endure the torture of going thru a public divorce and falling in love with a Country superstar, Vince Gill. She's had more Christians pointing fingers at her for selling out musically and not staying with her first husband. FHS -- remember the lesson in the Bible when the Jews wanted to stone the harlot and all Jesus said was "Whoever amongst you never sin, go ahead and cast the first stone". Let this woman be, she's made some great music, influenced hundreds of thousands of Christian teenagers. Whatever happened is between her and God
