From Country Music Stage to Christian Ministry
Chris McDaniel spent 16 years as the keyboardist for the multi-platinum country rock band Confederate Railroad, performing hit songs on stages across America. But behind the fame and fortune was a life spiraling out of control—a $70,000-a-year cocaine addiction that brought him to rock bottom. It was in rehab that Chris realized his desperate need for God.
Soon after, Chris surrendered his life to Jesus at a church in Tennessee. For over 22 years, he has traveled nationwide as a Christian speaker and musician, sharing his powerful testimony of redemption at Wild Game Dinners, church revivals, crusades, men’s ministry events, and Christian concerts. He has also ministered in prisons, rehab centers, and churches across the country, using both music and preaching to point people to Christ.
Chris’s passion is helping others find hope, healing, and lasting freedom through the transforming power of Jesus Christ. Whether leading worship, sharing his story, or preaching the Gospel, Chris connects with audiences from all walks of life—offering an unforgettable message of God’s grace.
