PIET SMIT on Faith, Music & Miracles: The Story Behind ‘Way Above the Sky’ & 35 Years of Gospel Ministry

Loading player...
Legendary gospel artist Piet Smit shares his journey from 1970s folk singer to gold- and platinum-selling Christian musician—despite never learning to read music! Discover:

His Radical Conversion: How meeting Jesus in 1989 led to writing his first worship song within 24 hours—a gift he credits entirely to God.
"Imperfect" Music, Perfect Impact: Why professionals critique his unconventional style (like "scaling" beats), yet thousands call his songs "written just for me."
The Internet’s Double-Edged Sword: Why he waited 10 years to release Way Above the Sky—and how piracy nearly ended his career.
Isaiah 40 Inspiration: The Scripture behind his new anthem of God’s majesty and strength for the weary.
Why He Won’t Retire: At 70+, Piet jokes about performing "with a walker" but vows to keep sharing Jesus—one garage pie and late-night drive at a time.

A must-listen for anyone needing encouragement to use their "imperfect" gifts for God’s glory!
