Matthew West’s latest song, “Hello, my name is” has been doing really well in the Countdown this week. Matthew West has an interesting way of writing songs. He asks his fans to send him letters with stories from their lives. Stories of what God has done. Stories of what they’ve been through. Stories of what they’re dealing with right now.

He then turns those stories into songs. So for example, “Hello, my name is” is based on the letter of a drug addict who found his true identity in God.

If you were going to write a letter like this - what would you write about? We won’t turn your stories into songs but we will turn them into a talkback show!
