Justin McRoberts (born January 1, 1974) is an American author, speaker, retreat leader and songwriter from the San Francisco Bay area.
McRoberts began his career writing and releasing two albums with 5 Minute Walk before the label disbanded in 2001.
A songwriter, storyteller, teacher and an advocate, he is one of those rare artists who blends artistry, honesty and humor seamlessly.
[3] McRoberts comments that the theme of the album is "letting God fill in the space" created by personal loss.
[4] During this time, McRoberts toured nationally with artists such as Five Iron Frenzy, The W's, Caedmon's Call, Jennifer Knapp, and others, and made appearances at the Cornerstone Festival.
Aimed primarily at the non-church going crowd, the album touches on the stories of those disenchanted with American Christianity.
McRoberts says, "Much of the album's content deals with renewing the way I see the world around me; learning to recognize the eternal value in every moment, every relationship, every song, trying to cut through the utilitarian perspective I am so used to bringing to my everyday.
