When people find out that Cade Thompson signed a Nashville record contract at the age of just 18, they sometimes assume he’s led a charmed life. But as many blessings as Cade has received over the course of his still-young music career, there have been setbacks and frustrations too. Fortunately, through prayer and the guidance of caring mentors, he’s been able to learn valuable lessons from those challenges about faith, love, and staying grounded. Cade shares some of those lessons with Nate Dewberry in this week’s episode, along with reflections on his upbringing in South Dakota, the inspiration behind a couple of his biggest hits, and what green room snacks he’s powerless to resist.
