Gospel Music Today for the week of October 23 @ kengrady@gospelmusictoday.com Enjoy the T V Broadcast http://www.gospelmusictoday.com/about-us.html Rob: I am passionate about technology and media! I am also passionate about spreading the gospel of Christ. Creatively using media to advance the gospel makes my heart skip a beat for sure! I have been blessed with people in our industry that share this same passion. Occasionally in the magazine, I will share our conversations and highlight other ministries that are BROADCASTING the good news of Jesus in song. This month I’m shining the spotlight on Ken and Jean Grady of Gospel Music Today. Rob: “Tell our readers how you got involved with Southern Gospel Music.” Ken: “Neither one of us grew up with southern gospel music. Jean’s father was a Southern Baptist preacher in Oklahoma, so the family was aware of southern gospel music, but not really involved with it. I grew up in New England, and didn’t even know that southern gospel existed. We started watching The Statler Brothers on Saturday nights. That led us to the Gaither Homecoming programs, and before long our church choir, which Jean directed, was singing southern gospel, and we were inviting southern gospel quartets and groups to sing at our church in Rhode Island.”
