Dustin Smith is a worship leader, songwriter, and passionate teacher who seeks to ignite the nations with a love for worship. He’s written and co-written incredible worship songs such as I Speak Jesus, The One That Really Matters, Praise The King, and so many more. Dustin's heart is set on giving all the glory to God, a mindset that transcends age, race, color, and nationality. For over 20 years, he and his wife Jeanna have been happily married, raising their three children - Jordan, Drew, and Asher.
Together, the Smith family has dedicated themselves to seeking the face of God, inspiring them to rise as a voice to the nations and increase the value of God in other people's eyes. Their commitment to their local church and personal journey with God continues to fuel their passion for ministry, as they are continually inspired by the team around them.
In this episode, Dustin shares his heart for worship and ministry through the story of how his family packed their lives up to pursue God’s call to raise shepherds up in Nashville.
