Conner Smith says a single moment changed everything — from his priorities to his art — and now he’s sharing how faith, his wife Leah and a new song helped him find a way forward. Read on to discover the full story!

A life-altering moment

Smith, 25, reflects on a June 2025 collision in Nashville that left 77-year-old Dorothy Dobbins dead after she was struck while using a crosswalk; she later died at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Smith struggled emotionally after the crash and the misdemeanor citation tied to the incident was dropped by the family in February.

Finding faith and family

He says the event forced him to question faith and priorities, and that his marriage to Leah became a source of steadiness. Her support, he explains, grounded him and strengthened their bond during the toughest year of their lives.
