Penning numerous songs recorded by Crowder, Hillsong, Casting Crowns, Chris Tomlin, We Are Messengers, Chris Renzema, Mack Brock, Brandon Lake and Passion, he’s had multiple titles on the CCLI chart’s Top 500 list. With career album sales of more than 600,000 units to date, Maher was awarded RIAA Platinum® certification for “Lord, I Need You” and RIAA Gold® certification for “Hold Us Together,” “All The People Said Amen,” and “Because He Lives (Amen)”. He’s released ten studio albums, including his 2017 GRAMMY-nominated album Echoes, and his first Christmas album and children’s book, both titled The Advent of Christmas.

Maher, an official Steinway Artist, has been headlining his own tours and performing at major Catholic and Evangelical events since 2004, including multiple World Youth Day festivals, most recently in Rio De Janeiro presided by Pope Francis. He has also participated in the industry’s biggest tours and festivals, such as Worship Night In America with Chris Tomlin, Compassion Live’s The Road Show and Tobymac’s Hits Deep.

Shroud of Turin Event

March 19, 2025 - Gichi-ziibi Center of the Arts

The Shroud of Turin will be in Brainerd with a presentation on the miraculous story of the Shroud of Turin.

What is this mysterious sheet, considered by many to be a relic of Jesus Christ?

What does contemporary science say about it?

Why does it reach our hearts so intensely?

The Shroud is a linen sheet on which the figure of a tortured and crucified man is printed. The print exhibits the unique characteristics of a photographic negative.

The exhibition represents an important opportunity to continue the dialogue between science and faith. It is addressed to all those who feel the spiritual call of the Shroud and wish to deepen its value, its authenticity, its meaning and its message.
