But did you know that before Mark Lowry became a comedy genius, he was first a plain, gospel singer? Yes, you read that right.
The Texas native attended Liberty University, where he intended to get a business degree but ended up in the music business, calling it a ‘spiritual calling.’ He became a staple singer in independent Baptist churches across the US and also became known as the baritone of the Gaither Vocal Band. He even wrote the popular Christian hymn “Mary Did You Know,” which has broken records and has been covered by various artists.

He became that man who delighted people with his story-telling – profound truths delivered with humor. And if you haven’t watched or listened to any of his comedy acts just yet, this would be a good introduction.
