Amy Grant Doesn't Take a Single Day for Granted

About this episode

Amy Grant discusses her recovery journey and the release of her new album, emphasizing the importance of staying present and embracing life's challenges.

Amy Grant first joined Biscuits & Jam back in 2021, shortly after undergoing open-heart surgery. Not long after that conversation, she was in a serious bike accident that led to a long and challenging recovery. Through it all, she’s maintained a remarkably positive outlook, saying she doesn’t “take a day for granted.” Her recovery brought her back to songwriting, which she describes as a kind of therapy, and now, she’s released her first album of original songs in 13 years, The Me That Remains. Amy talks to Sid about getting through tough times, simplifying her life, and how this new music helped her find her way back to herself. She also reminds us to stay present, seek connection, and embrace the messiness of life.
