Episode 33: Mark Graalman

This week on Hitting The Road, we sit down with Mark Graalman, drummer and founding member of Sanctus Real, for a timely and hope-filled conversation centered on the true message of Christmas.

As one of Christian music’s most enduring bands, Sanctus Real has spent nearly three decades sharing songs that point listeners back to faith, truth, and the goodness of Jesus. In this episode, Mark reflects on the band’s journey, the heart behind their music, and what it means to keep showing up with authenticity through every season of life and career.

With Christmas upon us, the conversation turns toward the good news of Jesus—why it still matters, how it shapes Mark’s life, and how music can be a powerful reminder of hope in a noisy world. It’s an honest, encouraging episode that brings things back to what this season is really about.

Whether you’re a longtime Sanctus Real fan or simply looking for a meaningful conversation to close out the year, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
