ministries
Have you ever felt like God's Word said things that you just couldn't wrap your mind around in a personal way? You read something and thought,
"What does this mean? This couldn't possibly apply to me? Are you kidding me? God said I can do that?"
"Ministry" as a word, let alone the whole concept of it, was so much bigger than we could get our hearts to believe, that we put it off time after time. Sure it could work for others but not us.
The Lord is so kind and patient with all of us, isn't He? He's brought us to the place where we're "all in!" regarding this music and ministry. Isaiah 58:12 was the verse we found/were led to, that seemed to say what we feel like He's asked us to do:
"Your people will rebuild long-deserted ruins, building anew on foundations laid long before you. You will be known as Repairers of the Cities and Restorers of Communities."
We're musicians and recording artists who’ve been at it for over 30 years. In our experience it seems that the effects of music/ministry/art on the human soul often lie in the less visible places of subjective feelings, thoughts and experiences; but don't those efforts always operate that way? Those kinds of questions have been answered confidently in our hearts though, with a commitment to push past the less quantifiable results and follow God into the territory of the subjective. Through ups and downs, we've recorded, toured and performed with multiple major artists in the Contemporary Christian and mainstream music industries such as Amy Grant, Michael W Smith, Ceili Rain, Geoff Moore and The Distance and many others.
Renee sang and ministered for 10 years with Chuck Colson’s Prison Fellowship and Lang ran sound with them as well. We’ve shared the awesome good news of Jesus in prisons, in churches, at parks, in concerts, on arena stages, in coffee houses and through overseas missions trips, all over the world. We have a passion to help inspire believers and non, to find and fulfill their God given purpose and calling. We perform The Dream Restoration Show and concerts in support of this purpose.
We’re involved with worship at, and love our home church, Charis Christian Fellowship in Shelbyville, TN. We currently live in Spring Hill, TN.
