Innholdsfortegnelse for January 2026 i Gospel Music Roadshow

As the calendar turns to a new year, we often wonder what the months ahead hold. Some may be filled with great joy, and others may bring the most difficult times we will ever face. On January 1st, we simply don’t know yet. But as children of God, there is one thing we know and can count on every year: our Savior, Jesus Christ. He is faithful and unchanging. No matter what is ahead for each of us, the Lord has promised to be there every step of the way with His strength, hope, and goodness. In Hebrews 13:8, it says, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.” That is a promise to cling to every year. When I think about these truths and an individual whose…

In the last few days of November and the first of December, the Gospel Music Roadshow was honored to be with The Family & Friends Christmas program for a portion of their tour. This tour is a two-hour program with Greater Vision and The Mylon Hayes Family that traveled to seven states with eleven concerts in 2025. This tour is unique in that, though both groups have separate Christmas projects, the uniformity between them is seamless by the creation of their producer. Trey Ivey produced both “Christmas In London” by Greater Vision and “A Christmas Album” by The Mylon Hayes Family, and both were recorded with full orchestras. It is also worth noting that when Greater Vision and The Mylon Hayes Family recorded these projects, the dream for this tour…

As January rolls around, it naturally feels like a season of new beginnings, a fresh page on which to write our stories, and an open door to new adventures and meaningful accomplishments. Yet before we rush ahead, it’s important to pause and look back on 2025—to reflect on both the good and the difficult, and to praise God for His many blessings. For some, this past year brought health challenges, financial strain, devastating news, or the loss of loved ones. Perhaps you’ve experienced grief on multiple levels as life took turns you never saw coming twelve months ago. For others, 2025 was marked by new family members, personal milestones, hard-earned successes, and countless moments of joy, those mountaintop experiences that fill our hearts with gratitude and contentment. But whether the…

Growing up, I was a “checklist” kid. If there were chores needing to be completed, Mom would make a list, and I felt accomplished to finish the list. Seeing a visual of what needed to be done helped me stay motivated. Being productive gave me purpose… and still does today! When New Year’s came around, I would go to my desk and make my resolutions. Goals were exciting! As I grew older, the desires of my heart began to shift. My resolutions went from “make your bed every day” to “find someone to marry.” This surely is a common theme for a lot of people. I was convinced my next season of life would make me feel more complete. If I could only find someone to spend my life with,…

This is one of those stories that remind you of the Bible verse, “Be sure your sins will find you out.” So, this is back when Danny and Ginger were traveling with the Lesters, along with Vanessa (Wimberley) Griggs and Tim Parton. We were at this church in southern Illinois or Indiana, one of the two. It was supposed to be a morning service with a meal afterward. At the end of the morning service, the church folks went down to the basement where the fellowship hall was and started cooking fish. That fish did not have a good smell to it. Ginger wasn’t wild about fish anyway, so we discussed it and they said, “Make up an excuse. Let’s get out of here.” And let me set the record…

The Guardians are back with, in my humble opinion, one of the best projects to date. “Where Healing Happens” features the debut of Dale Forbes in the baritone position following the departure of Scott Mullins, who went on to join Greater Vision. Forbes is no stranger to Southern Gospel music as he has traveled with the legendary Singing Americans and the Anchormen. Forbes is joined by longtime member (and now owner) John Darin Rowsey, bass Pat Barker, and tenor Paul Lancaster. Where Healing Happens features eleven incredible songs of hope, faith, and inspiration. John Darin Rowsey co-wrote all but two of these well crafted selections. This incredible album opens with the jazzy “Battle Song” which proclaims: I will not fear for He is near. Through His Mighty Hand, I can…
