Mullins Often Called St. Francis Of Assisi 1181-1226 His Hero. He Modeled His Life After St. Francis By Showing Great Compassion Towards The Poor And Adhering To A Vow Of Poverty. In 1997 He Composed A Musical About The Life Of St. Francis Set In The Old West Titled Canticle Of The Plains. Mullins Was Seen As An Enigma To The Christian Music Industry. Often Barefoot Unshaven And Badly In Need Of A Haircut Mullins Did Not Look Like The Average American Gospel Music Writer. He Was Very Much At Home Among The Non-Christians And Unafraid To Name His Own Sin And Inadequacies In Public. This Baffled Some In The American Christian Culture Where He Seemed An Odd Member. His Lifestyle Was Unquestionably Marked By Devotion And Discipline Yet His Simultaneous Refusal To Subscribe To Contemporary Christian "niceties" Made Him A Bit Of An Uncomfortable Presence In The Christian Music Culture. Although He Achieved A Significant Amount Of Success On Christian Radio He Never Received A Dove Award Until After His Death. Unlike Most Artists In Contemporary Christian Music Mullins Did Not Consider His Music His Primary Ministry But Rather A Means To Pay His Bills. Instead His Ministry Was The Way He Treated His Neighbors Family Enemies And Those Outside The Church. Taking A Vow Of Poverty He Accepted A Small Church Salary And Spent The Last Years Of His Life On A Navajo Reservation Teaching Music To Children.
