Daniel Richter, former frontman of the pop band Eleven Past One, once chased fame, success, and identity in the spotlight. But behind the stage lights, he wrestled with questions of worth, identity, and purpose that no applause could answer.
In this deeply personal and hope-filled conversation, Daniel opens up about:
- His struggles with identity and sexuality while living in the public eye
- The emptiness of chasing success and what led to his breaking point
- How God met him in surrender and brought healing, purpose, and peace
- His journey from performing for people to worshipping for God’s glory
Now a husband, father, and worship leader, Daniel shares how God transformed his story from performance to purpose—and how his new single “Dear God” reflects the cry of a redeemed heart.
Be reminded that true freedom isn’t found in fame—it’s found in Christ alone.
