Canadian popicon Shawn Mendes recently shared his heart and faith journey during a podcast in which he talks about the power of a Maverick City Music song.<\/p>\n
Mendes was on the podcast called Man Enough when he shared his experience after becoming famous from hit single after hit single.<\/p>\n
\"I had a huge song when I was really young,\" Mendes says referring to his first single 'Life of the Party.' \"Only in the last two years did I realize the power that music is.\"<\/p>\n
Mendes was born and raised in Toronto before making it big in the pop world of music in his early teen years.<\/p>\n
\"I grew up more or less atheist, now becoming much more spiritual and being sure there's a God. Music was the thing that did that for me.\"<\/p>\n
He turned on a song from aCCM worship band.<\/p>\n
\"I watched Maverick City Choir singing about God, about Jesus. I'm sitting there watching this YouTube video about Jesus and I just start crying, crying my eyes out.\"<\/p>\n
That moment, Mendes felt a shift and says he felt something leave and lift off him.<\/p>\n
\"How is something that I've grown up my whole life to believe is fanatic, and not science or the truth, feel like home.\"<\/p>\n
