Q: How did Trading My Sorrows influence your early career?
It was everywhere and helped launch a wave of interest in contemporary worship, proving how a single song could drive the movement and open doors for many artists.
Todd Agnew - The voice that never needed to fit the mold
Q: Would you write My Jesus differently today given your current perspective?
Todd believes he might approach it differently now due to greater maturity and a more nuanced view of church and life, suggesting that the song's honesty could be expressed with more experience behind it, and that new generations may need different language to address their context.

Q: What was the turning point that helped Grace Like Rain break through on radio?
The song gained traction slowly, with radio adding it months after its initial release, and the release strategy shifted to pair it with a stronger follow-up; Dana Key's support and the label's willingness to take risks were crucial in recognizing its potential.
