John James - The original Newsboys frontman is the poster boy for God's redemptive power
Q: When did Newsboys first break into the wider public, and what was the turning point for you personally?
The first real breakthrough came with the Not Ashamed album, but the Not Ashamed song and the subsequent collaboration with Steve Taylor helped crystallize our voice and reach.
