Michael O’Brien

Michael O’Brien is now celebrating 31 years in full-time ministry. In the early 1990s, he signed a record deal with Benson Records and garnered five top-five singles and three number-one singles on the radio. He then joined the group NewSong in 1999 and had another five number-one singles. Perhaps he is most recognized for the popular duet he sang with Natalie Grant, “When God Made You,” a wedding song he also cowrote.

He works alongside several ministries, including Answers in Genesis, the Billy Graham Ministries at the Cove, and Inspiration Cruises. He has been married to his wife, Heidi, for 36 years and has four children, four grandchildren, and two more grandchildren on the way.
