At Dove Awards TobyMac Talks Son’s Death, Collaborating With Sheryl Crow, and How a Youth Pastor Changed His Life

“I first met her in the car pick-up line at my kids’ Christian elementary school,” TobyMac said. “We were at a little chapel service, where we started talking and met each other. And [I] just heard her heart and didn’t even recognize who she was at first, but [I] recognized her as a woman of strong faith in God.”

Since then, TobyMac had always wanted to do a song with her but was waiting for the right one. “Promise Land,” from his new album “Life After Death,” ended up being the right one, McKeehan said.
