Chris Tomlin has a way of keeping the main thing the main thing.
The Christian contemporary music artist, who will headline Faith and Family Night today at the Riverbend Festival, said in an interview with Christianity Today International he always hopes concertgoers will see through him to God.
“When the spotlight is on me,” Tomlin said, “it’s on God. I just want to be a reflection of God’s light.”
Earlier this year, the Texas native and his band received their first Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for “And If Our God Is for Us.” They were nominated for Grammys in four other categories.
Billboard also honored Tomlin this year as a finalist for Top Christian Artist and the band’s song “Our God” for Top Christian Song. In addition, he and his band have received 20 Dove Awards or nominations since 2005.
