An angry boy, he destroyed those around him—till he came face-to-face with the One who created him. Billy's story is encouraging—especially if you have challenging children. Now he touches teens and adults with his music. We couldn't have picked a better song. Enjoy The Tree and the Nails.

In this episode Billy Ballenger shares his story of redemption and the hope he found in Jesus. Billy Ballenger's personal story reads like a movie script, and there's nothing he doesn't share! He truly believes the greatest story anyone could ever tell is their testimony, just ask the over half million lives he's already impacted though his songs and story. Billy's music is driven by his heart to create a song that speaks for those who can't, and inspire those who can! He found his passion for music as a young boy growing up in Indiana. Yet as a child, he was troubled and bullied which led to bad decisions and bad outcomes. By eighteen Billy was already a young married father, but still chasing after the party life. Substance abuse, burglaries and violence led to a SWAT team raiding his home which ended with he and his wife being arrested. As a result, their baby girl was taken from them and they were both sentenced to six years in prison. While locked up, Billy made a decision to follow Jesus Christ and his life would be radically changed from that day forward! Billy and his wife were miraculously released early from prison and soon received full custody of their daughter! Billy followed his heart and began pursuing his dream of becoming a recording artist.Since that day,God has led him around the globe with performances in the United States, China, Russia, Canada, worldwide television, and Christian music's largest annual tour Winter Jam, where his dream of arena tours and reaching tens of thousands for Christ became a reality! Billy is incredibly grateful for the friendships and collaboration he's found touring with artist's like Building 429, Crowder, Andy Mineo, Passion, Hillsong Young and Free,Red, NewSong, and so many more. But Billy's not done yet...in an effort to continue to impact everyone, everywhere he goes, he continues to accept opportunities to expand his outreach into every community he can.
