Ellie Holcomb: Adventure into the Far Country – Double Feature
There’s a warmth that follows Ellie Holcomb into any room, the kind that feels less like a spotlight and more like someone opening a window to let fresh air in. Whether she’s talking about the wild mercy of God, the ache of unanswered questions, or the unexpected beauty that blooms in seasons of loss, Ellie has a way of making it all feel deeply human and quietly holy. In this special CCM Magazine Double Feature, we sit with Ellie for two revealing conversations—one that captures her heart, humor, and hope in a full CCM Spotlight, and another that dives into the creation of her new album, Far Country, a record shaped in the wilderness and colored by grace.
Across both videos, Ellie speaks with disarming honesty about grief, spiritual thirst, doubt, and the long journey toward healing. Yet woven through every story is the unmistakable thread of a God who meets us in the valley and carries us home. From the mingling of light and darkness to the salt-flat imagery that inspired her latest songs, Ellie opens the pages of her story with a boldness that invites us into our own. Consider this your front-row seat to an artist who sings to believe, writes to remember, and shares so we don’t have to walk with our questions alone.
If you’re walking through the “mingle” of light and dark, don’t miss this CCM Spotlight. Ellie talks honestly about grief and unanswered questions, yet clings to the hope that “this isn’t the end of the story” and that “there is a day coming where every sad thing will come true.”
Hit play and let her “embodied prayers” remind you that even in sorrow, you are not alone.
Take a journey into the Far Country, Ellie Holcomb’s new album. If you’ve ever felt spiritually “dried up” or full of questions, Ellie’s story of salt flats, mid-life thirst, and a God who “loves to be with me” will hit home. Watch the conversation, then go spin the record front to back and hear how an “expansion” of faith sounds when it’s sung by someone who dared to wrestle and found herself “held in the everlasting arms of love.”
