Laura Story is a dear friend that I've had the privilege to work with
at Perimeter Church in Atlanta. She has the sweetest of spirits and
her love for the Lord is evidenced in her songs and her voice. Check out her song "Mighty to Save" in my player. -Aaron

There's a really great bio that was written about me that sounds so good, I'm not sure it's really about me. but you can read that on www.aaronshust.com. It's long and it took forever to scroll down this page...so I took it off.
From my perspective, I'm a guy from outside Pittsburgh, PA who's been singing and loving music since before I could talk. I think taking thoughts from deep with your heart and expressing it in an artform of organized vibrations is strange and yet incredible. When I'm old I want to write soundtracks for epic movies, or write the music for Mitsubishi commercials...those rock.
For now, I'm a worship leader in Atlanta, GA, a husband, a father, a brother, a son, an uncle, a friend, a child of God, a Steeler fan and for the first time, a recording artist. Proverbs 27:21 says "The purity of silver and gold is tested by putting them in the fire; The purity of human hearts is tested by giving them a little fame." Hopefully, this attention (both positive and negative) will make my heart more like Christ.
Happy 4th of July Aaron! You are awesome and I love you music. God bless you and your music ministry. I pray you have a wonderful holiday! Your friend and FAN, Donna I subscribed to your newsletter too. I can't wait to get it!

I had heard your song "My Savior my God" 2 times will driving in the car but never was told the name or who sang it. God was really ministering to me through it. I desperately wanted to find out what song it was. I prayed and asked God to help me find it and went into the Christan Bookstore. No one knew what I was talking about. To make a long story I found the song. God is so good to me. There is absolutely no way I could have found that on my own! He knew what I needed.
