With his latest release, “A Hundred Highways,” Zach Williams feels he has made the kind of album he’s always wanted to have in his catalog.

“I wanted this record to sound as true to my roots and as true to the music that I grew up on as anything I’ve put out,” Williams said in a recent phone interview. “We kind of touched on a little bit of every genre of music that I’ve grown up on, from country to gospel to bluegrass to rock and blues. It just feels really good to have a record from front to back that feels like it covers all of that ground. And for the first time truly, I really feel like this record feels like me. So I’m really proud of it.”

Williams is coming Saturday to Colorado Springs for a show at The Broadmoor World Arena.

It’s been a lengthy journey with its share of ups and downs that has Williams, 46, becoming one of Christian music’s fastest rising stars. But that’s not how things started.

He began his career in earnest in 2007 when he formed the secular, Southern-tinged rock band Zach Williams & the Reformation, which released two independent albums — “Electric Revival” in 2009 and “A Southern Offering” in 2011 — and toured worldwide.

Williams indulged in a rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle in those years. Eventually, his behavior, which involved alcohol and drugs, threatened to cost him his second marriage, which included two stepchildren.

He reached a low point on tour in Spain and decided he needed to break up his band, get sober and get his life back on track. As time went on, Williams returned to writing songs, realizing he had a story to tell about finding his way back to God.

He released his debut solo album in 2016 and saw the single go No. 1 on various Christian singles charts. Three more hit singles followed, including a second chart topper, “Old Church Choir.”

His 2019 follow-up album, “Rescue Story,” gave Williams another No. 1 single with “There Was Jesus,” which featured a guest vocal by Dolly Parton.

Now comes “A Hundred Highways,” which builds on Williams’ story of finding Christ and embracing sobriety and responsibility.
