What happens when a hitmaker hits a breaking point? In this revealing episode of Contagious Influencers of America, nine-time Emmy winner David Sams sits down with Gold-certified, award-winning singer-songwriter Colton Dixon—an artist who has spent his career using music to connect hearts, lift spirits, and offer hope. With nearly 1 billion streams, multiple #1 Billboard debuts, and songs that have broken records and inspired books, Colton has seen the power of music to bring people together. And yet, he approaches his craft with deep humility, treating music as a universal language that carries both beauty and responsibility. His mission? To write truth, reflect hope in darkness, and leave people better than he found them.

In this conversation, Colton opens up about the moment that inspired his new single "The Love I Have For You," a song shaped by the life-changing experience of fatherhood. He shares how juggling twins, marriage, and a booming career led to a season of anxiety—one he refused to let define his identity. Colton discusses how Romans 8 reframed his perspective, why he chooses to speak hope over fear, and the surprising lessons his five-year-old girls teach him every day.

David and Colton also dive into the wave of revival sweeping across college campuses, the healing power of forgiveness—highlighted by a recent high-profile example that moved him—and the importance of guarding our digital habits in a distracted world. Colton even weighs in on whether AI has a meaningful place in the creative process.

They wrap up with the story behind his Christmas single "Home for Christmas" and what "home" really means to someone who spends much of life on the road. Along the way, you'll hear how his reverence for the art of songwriting, his commitment to integrity, and his desire to use music for good continue to shape his life as an artist.
