An ordained minister, Hutchins takes the message of his music seriously. Backed by a high-powered choir and an enterprising band, the Grammy-nominated writer, producer and worship leader treats his platform as a pulpit and his audience as the congregation, fervidly sharing the Gospel with a revival-inducing gutteral growl on his latest live recording. More traditional in approach, Hutchins relevantly reminds gospel musicians to worship, not simply perform.
