Stronger In The Broken Places is the creative product of a new season in Mark Harris’ life. Since the end of 4Him and embarking upon a solo career, Mark found himself with enough time and the opportunity to invest in those around him and to learn from others with markedly different callings in their lives. “Being at home, investing in my family and in the community around me, meant that I was also able to slow down long enough to hear the Lord speak some new things into my heart,” says Mark. “After so many years on the road, I was finally able to unpack my bags, and what I found was God prodding me to be patient, to let Him take the lead in every aspect of my life. I felt strongly that He wanted me to take my time and that He wanted to give me new direction, and as I trusted him, I felt the Holy Spirit ushering me, and my music, into this new season. He has really refreshed and reinvigorated my desire to write and my desire to touch people through music.”
Because of this shift in pace and perspective, songs chosen for Stronger In The Broken Places looked a bit different, after a collaborative effort of trusted listeners lived with a large collection of songs that had been written over the last four years. He felt the Lord coaching him to have patience, to accept the discipline of making different choices lyrically and musically.
“I really have had to put a lot of trust in those around me in the making of this record,” he says. “I’m in a season of life where things have been changing and it is so important to simply stop and listen.”
Mark feels an immense amount of gratitude for his career past and present, and while his calling to music is still much the same, it has been renewed by the quiet promptings of the Holy Spirit.
"Stronger In The Broken Places is an album I felt God called me to make, and I’m excited about that,” he says. “I think it will really have an impact on those it’s meant for."
